Divine Chocolatier

Buying chocolate in a shop is one thing; having it personally prepared by one of the most dedicated chocolatiers in Canada is another. Among the busy streets of Montreal lies a small boutique called the Divine Chocolatier. Richard Zwierzynski opened his store after being inspired by Willy Wonka and makes sure his customers experience a memorable visit.

Eaton Centre

Eaton Centre is a multi-storey shopping hub in downtown Montreal and part of the city’s famous Underground City: a vast network of connected malls, shops, hotels, and office buildings, used a lot in the winter. Inside, you’ll find a mix of international brands, boutiques, and a large food court.

Jean-Talon Market

Jean-Talon Market is one of Montreal’s busiest and most colourful markets, packed with stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, cheeses, meats, fish, and baked goods. Take a stroll through the aisles and enjoy the smells, colours, and friendly chatter of vendors. From early morning to evening, it’s a great spot to sample local flavours, pick up ingredients for a picnic, or simply soak up the atmosphere of a market that feels very much part of the city’s daily life.

Atwater Market

Atwater Market has been part of Montreal life since 1933, and its art‑deco building near the Lachine Canal is hard to miss. Inside, stalls are stacked with fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses, meats and fish, while specialty shops offer gourmet items like olive oils, balsamic vinegars, spices, dried fruits and other fine foods.

Noël Eternel

Why should December be the only Christmas month? Noël Eternel makes sure to give you that Christmas feeling every day of the week and all year round, whether or not snow is falling. Offering a large variety of Christmas items such as little villages, elves, nativity scenes, tree decorations (and much more), at Noël Eternel, it's Christmas every day.

Les Cours Mont-Royal

Les Cours Mont-Royal is a multi-level shopping centre housed in a historic building, blending old-world architecture with modern retail. Inside, you’ll find fashion boutiques, hair salons, cafés, and a small food court. Its direct connection to a metro station and the Underground City makes it easy to reach, and it’s a practical stop for both serious shopping and a leisurely browse through stylish downtown Montreal.

Eva B

Don't be discouraged by the post-apocalyptic façade of the shop and dare to enter this Ali Baba's cave. Vintage clothes, quirky accessories, oddities, and art pieces are gathered here in a seemingly chaotic manner. Eva B also doubles as a bistro and bar, with a small stage hosting occasional events like live music or performances.

Complexe Desjardins

Complexe Desjardins is a mall that almost feels like a small city, with its sprawling, light-filled atrium, futuristic architecture, and a large illuminated fountain. Inside, you’ll find a wide range of shops, from fashion and accessories to everyday essentials, alongside plenty of dining options. It’s a convenient stop for shopping or grabbing a bite, and wandering through its multi-level corridors gives a glimpse of Montreal’s downtown energy.
