Weird there's no Montreal thread. Anyway I've been there a few times, just not recently. Gonna go for a day with my girlfriend this Monday, any recommendations? I know les createurs and cahier d'exercise for women's clothes, which we'll definitely check out, but any good men's store? Just reborn?

I lived in Montréal for 1 year in 2008. As you will stay just for one day, you can visit the Old-Montréal, it is a very nice place to see with many monuments to visit.
About clothes, you might be interested by Ssense, also located in the Old-Montréal.

Michel Brisson has men's RO, L&F and a few others at the Laurier street store. Last time I went the other location in Old Montreal, it was lacking in these brands but things might have changed since last year and since you're going to be in the area, it might be worth checking out.
Simon's has men's and women's RO, YY and sometimes some surprises when stuff goes on ridiculous sale.
Holt Renfrew has RO for women, maybe some other stuff.
TNT might have women's RO...in Toronto it does, but I'm not sure about Montreal.

The clothes are nothing special. Cahier is worth checking out. Laura, the owner is super cool and keeps a nice mix in store. Skip les createurs...I despise that place but maybe I'm jaded. Simons is good for sales right now, men and womens.
Au pied has a food truck opening on the 18th. Should be cool to check out. The trucks are all the buzz right now since it's finally legal here.
All in all, skip the clothes if you're here for a day. Do some touristy shit and enjoy the culture of the city.Originally posted by hausofblaqGrow up.

Simon's and Michel Brisson are a good place to go when the sale season start.
Ssense is also good for the large selection it's important to know they doesn't have all the online product in store and they also have some brand only avalible in store.
I also like to go to denis gagnon. It's a local designer located in the old port near Ssens and his piece are quite unique but the quality isn't the best.... It's kind of arts & craft.
There's also Philippe Dubuc on st-denis. It's a local designer too. The clothes are easy to wear.
I also love to go to Marie Saint Pierre it's womenswear designer but defiantly worth the look.
I don't like to go to Holt, Ogilvy or TNT because theirs selections of menswear are really small and the smaller size always sold really fast.

word. Les Createurs is an awesome store.
I'm glad alex.a brought up the CCA because it's easily one of my favourite place here.
Also agreeing with ashamed for Cheap Thrills. Good place. Sound Central is also good.
Bunch of good bands will be playing during RRRÖÖÖAAARRR at the Casa/Sala in august.Last edited by ***; 11-26-2015, 07:27 AM.

Any new shops or anything that would be cool to check out?
Any amazing restaurants or museums I need to see?
Nothing has changed much so same as above suggestions - michell brisson, les etoffes and simons - they have sales starting this weekend. Ssense in old montreal has none of the designers from this thread in the store ( on line only). I would check out the MAC and few museums. With the usd high you should hit the fine dinning as well. Lots of great restos ( yelp, google etc will help you with finding good ones). Also for hangs ( cafes etc) - old montreal/downtown for the tourist stuff and plateau/mile end/ little Italy for hipster cafes mixed with multi culti vibes.
Def fun city to waist time in. Enjoy!Last edited by boodude; 11-25-2015, 04:14 PM.

Last time I was at Ssense they had some Haider, which was really cool to handle. But most of the stuff is online.
If you're into beer, Dieu Du Ciel! is a great place to visit for a few drinks. And there's also Joe Beef, which is famous for a reason.

The MAC is always worth the visit. DHC Art is one of my favourite (of that city). À table tout le monde, near the later, is a worth the visit if you want house and dishwares.
Perfecto and Bethlehem XXX are good places to eat and drink.
Fuck Joe Beef.
