Shopping in Plateau / Mile End Montreal
See All Lists
1. Phonopolis
Awesome music store that manages to feel airy and spacious and also packed with goodness at the same time. It's most notable for it's focus on local music, small indie labels and emerging bands. Phonopolis hosts an intimate concert series in store…More »
2. Bijouterie Moug
Lovely little jewelry store on St Laurent in Little Italy. I don't love everything they show, but I always love something silvery in the window enough to rubberneck hard as I walk by. I once sent the man there on a Christmas mission. He came home…More »
3. Jeans Jeans Jeans
Huge basement location just off St Viateur with a massive selection of jeans for both men and women - local designers, massive brands, smaller imports - generally at 50% off what you'll see them at in downtown stores. The sales people do not work on…More »
4. Librairie Drawn & Quarterly
Another super community oriented creative bright light on Bernard full of the best and most beautiful books - not just the weep-worthy graphic novels published by Drawn and Quarterly, but novels and books of poetry and non-fiction as well. I just…More »
5. Loft 9
Montreal, QC H2T 2K2
(514) 315-8492
Teeny tiny antique shop with a great big heart. A wise friend pointed out this small storefront to me, I must have walked by it a thousand times without noticing but once inside I started to get the warm fuzzy feeling of good finds. Over the course…More »
6. Local 23
Gotta love the Local: stylish selections of secondhand stuff and lots of it, crammed into a happy room with zines, eps and other indie publications. Some rocking' local designer and reconstructed stuff is featured, but for the same taste level and…More »
7. General 54
All local indie designers all the time! Including sexy stuff for dudes! And some carefully selected (and sometimes craftily updated) vintage in the back! The General is owned by the same supafly ladies who own Local 23 up the street - …More »
8. Monastiraki
Montreal, QC H2T 1S1
(514) 278-4879
Categories:
Antiques,
Art Supplies,
Art Galleries
Art epicenter for underground comics run by the wise and crafty Billy Mavreas, trust me you want to approach softly and see if you can get him opening drawers for you and telling stories. There is a whole history of poster art tucked into the nooks…More »
9. Boutique Mika
A happy, tiny fashion find on St Laurent that seemed to be stacked with clothes I would actually wear - little dresses and flow-y long ones in great prints, with odd details making them seem unique. Shopping with a trio of ladies we all found stuff…More »
10. Mile End Kicks
Had a great experience at Mile End Kicks today when I walked in sopping wet with my shoes and socks just utterly soaked through. Calm and friendly gents helped me consider options and before I knew it I was in love and laced up in a pair of super…More »

This is an excellent little spot to check out if you are looking for tasteful women's clothes by local and international designers for around 50-200$. Everything here is hand selected by the owner, and the clothes reflect her chic taste. When you see…More »
12. Héritage
Montreal, QC H2W 1Z8

Men's Clothing
Great, unique, adorable jewelery here for sure, and some wonderful clothes all individually selected by the owner, a mix of vintage and independent designers. The vintage is a little on the pricey side in my opinion, but it's certainly well chosen…More »
13. Citizen Vintage
Super cute spacious shop in a great location right next to Sparrow (which makes for a lovely brunch and shopping outing, or a shopping and drinks outing. Or both! Big day!) Zero stress staff, cute quirky styles, looked to be mostly 80s and 90s…More »
14. Founderie
Founderie is a find: run by a friendly low stress gal with great taste, and featuring a nice collection of prints and fashions by local designers, the biggest draw here is the designer vintage: Fendi, Yves St Laurent, Burberry, Hermes and more at…More »

16. Maskarad
Montreal, QC H2T 2S9

Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Maskarad is bigger than it looks, and stocked with girly vintage and vintage-inspired items. The jewelery counter and small section of homewares make Maskarad a good bet for gift-giving (if you are giving gifts to ladies who like vintage jewels,…More »
17. Annex Vintage
The vintage collection at General 54 bust out into it's very own space next door and it's great! Lots of stock with a focus on interesting actual vintage, and very fast paced turn over of garments driven by the owner's collector love, and good taste,…More »
18. Librairie Le port de tête
Wonderful bookstore for new and second hand, beautiful French collections, graphic novels, well lit and book loving space. As far as I can tell from my tunnel vision magnet walks towards it, there is just a tiny but exceptionally curated English…More »
