1. L'express
Really excellent food with some of the best steak frites I've had...ever. I'd recommend making a reservation. When we arrived for our 8 pm reservation on a Friday evening lots of people were waiting for a table. The service was excellent. Our water…More »
2. Maison du Cheddar
Before visiting Montreal, I had searched extensively on-line for delicious cheese shops. I was not disappointed when I made my way out to Outremont and discovered Maison du Cheddar. Immediately after walking into the store, I was greeted by a…More »

Visited again recently. Delicious fondue! Not much has changed. Atmosphere is still the same, fondue is still awesome. Service is excellent. You can't miss this place if you want excellent fondue!

5. Boutique Dunia
Stopped in again here and was delighted to find rings that appealed to me AND fit super well. The owner was not in, but I was helped by a very friendly saleswoman who took a lot of time with me, helping me to find pieces in my size. This is one of my…More »

8. Renaud Bray
Stopped in again here last week. Still love this place. Mathieu is correct in that there is a large focus here on items that are not books or magazines (there really is a lot of random stuff, some of which could make for a cool gift for some one in…More »

I have a strange obsession with Dollaramas and this one is definitely one of the best ones. They have such good deals on tons of stuff for your kitchen: spatulas, turners, wine bottle toppers, sandwich bags, faux magic erasers, etc. as well as good…More »
10. Juliette et Chocolat
So delicious! I had the galettes brettones with goat cheese, pears and honey! So good. It was truly one of the best meals I've had in Montreal. I also enjoyed a nutella hot chocolate that was just so chocolatey and decadent: topped with whipped cream…More »
11. Argent Tonic
Great store to browse. There are a lot of interesting pieces, but most are very expensive. Many of the rings were between $150-$200. However, the stones are large and the designs are unique and cool. They also had a nice selection of rings made from…More »

Small little boutique with an excellent selection of socks. When I was there they were having a sale: 3 for $10.
13. Ardene
Reminds me a bit of Claire's boutiques in the US. They have an assortment of cheap, on trend accessories with a focus on teens and college students. However, anyone can easily find some great basic accessories here as well as the more trendy stuff.…More »
14. Quality Hotel
Aside from the rather thin walls, I was extremely pleased with my stay at Quality Hotel. I booked the hotel through Hotwire, so the price was right at around $59/ night. I had no problems checking in and was well received by the hotel staff. The…More »

A very nice gourmet food shop offering an assortment of coffees, tea, preserves and snacks. The service here was friendly and personable. I found the prices to be a bit high, but the selection of products was excellent.

This Pharmaprix is pretty well stocked with pretty much anything you might need. They have a good selection of cosmetics and typical drugstore items as well as a decent selection of grocery items and magazines. The store is clean and relatively well…More »
17. La Soupière
Cute store featuring an assortment of kitchen stuff: plates and bowls, mugs, dish towels, aprons, etc. I found a cute coffee cup towards the back that was on clearance. The store is a little cramped. With more than a few people inside, expect some…More »
18. Les Ailes De La Mode
An excellent clothing store where you can find fashionable clothes reasonably cheap. It reminds me a bit of H&M although the prices and quality of the clothes seem to be just slightly higher. I was here during a great sale. I picked up two skirts for…More »
19. La Senza
Victoria's Secret of Canada! Reminds me so much of VS in the US. I was here while they were having a great sale on underwear: 7 for $30. The have a huge selection of panties: boy shorts, briefs, bikinis, thongs. They also have many bras in different…More »
20. Boulangerie Premiere Moisson
Yum yum. Love Premier Moisson! This location is a little crazy, however, with lots and lots of traffic and the general chaos of people moving around a lot to get to and from their trains. Same great baked goods as other locations, but I'd not come…More »
21. The Bay
Enormous store with pretty much all you could ask for in a department store. Many items are pricey and high end, but you can also find lots of good stuff on sale. When I was last there they were having an intense 70% off event with lots of good…More »

23. Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal
A really beautiful church that is definitely worth a visit. Be forewarned that they do charge a $5 entrance fee which seems a little strange to me for a Catholic Church. What if you are a local just going to pray? Do you have to shell out $5 each…More »

Cute little shop featuring linens and things from Provence. They have a fabulous selection of dish towels that are so pretty you would not want to wash dishes with them at all. I will be hanging the one I bought on my kitchen wall. They also had a…More »
26. La Maison Simons
Wow, I really don't get the negative review below. I thought this store was totally fine. It seems to me to be a bit of a cross between a JC Penny's and a Macy's. Some stuff is cheaper and of lesser quality but there are also some higher end brands…More »

Very nice place. We were here for the van Dongen exhibition and also took the time to scope the small but interesting Mediterranean collection. This is not to be missed! They have some surprisingly nice sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome, Greek…More »
28. Patati Patata
Super tiny place with counter service and two tables for two. We had the poutine classique which was excellent! The service was efficient at first but very slow after we had finished eating. It took us a long time to get anyone's attention to order…More »
29. Centre Eaton de Montréal
Huge place with tons of great shopping including most of the same chain stores you see in the US. There is also a Starbucks here and an extensive food court. It's easy to get lost in here but it's a fun place to pass the time.

Cool place for household stuff like plates, dishes, etc. When I stopped in they were having a pretty good sale and I was able to score two cute retro Italian coffee bowls for $3 a piece and a small cheese plate with a serving knife for $5. Staff was…More »
32. Tasso Bar a Mezze
I have to agree with Keewi. This place is way too expensive for what you get. I absolutely adore Greek food, so I was excited to try some of their more unsual menu items. However, I was extremely disappointed in the tiropita. Not only was it TINY…More »
33. Galerie Noel Guyomarc'h
This place is set up very much like a gallery, especially in terms of how the jewelry is displayed. There is a lot of open space and there are not really a lot of pieces (little selection). The pieces are very expensive with most in the hundreds and…More »
34. Mamie Clafoutis
I had high expectations for this cute little bakery and pastry shop. Everything looked and smelled delicious. However, I was not very impressed with my cafe au lait and the almond croissant that I tried was very flavorful, but filled with a bit too…More »
35. Hmv
Huge music and DVD megastore. I thought I would be able to find some music from France here considering the huge Francophone selection but was disappointed to find that it is mostly just music from Quebec. They do have really nice listening stations.…More »
36. Nouvel Hotel & Spa (Le)
We booked our hotel on hotwire and ended up with Nouvel Hotel. The location is very good. It's just about two blocks from Rue Saint Catherine which is great beacause you're close to all the action without having to walk far but far enough away not to…More »
37. Roots Canada Ltee
Eh, sorry, I just can't bring myself to wear a giant sweatshirt with a beaver on it. The store is clean and arranged nicely, however and the salespeople were friendly. I wanted to check this place out because it was uniquely Canadian. However, as…More »
38. SAQ
There is wine here. That alone merits the three stars. The wine is kind of expensive, however. I am not sure if it's just this store, SAQs in general, or because I am used to buying wine at Trader Joe's in Boston, but I spent around $12 for a pretty…More »
39. Spa Tais
This spa is in the basement of the Nouvel Hotel. We decided to check it out since we were staying at the hotel. We tried calling the spa from our room to make an appointment a couple times but the line was busy so we went downstairs to do so in…More »
40. Caprice Restaurant & Lounge
Beautiful decor with lots of candelight that would be perfect for a romantic evening. I was a bit underwhelmed by the food, however. The escargots were tasty but were a bit too saturated in butter for my liking. The traditional fondue that I had was…More »
