“This is what a bookstore should be! Inviting, well curated (with a discernable point of view) and a broad selection. The location and the highly burnished wood floors just adds to the overall appeal of the place. A really good place for relaxed browsing and snooping.”
“Oh my gosh. This bookstore will forever have me in a chokehold. Went with my friend twice while we were in mtl this weekend. The staff are also all so sweet and knowledgeable!! Had an amazing poetry section aswell!”
“Cash only bookstore, lack of french books. Great pricing with a 1$ books section, nice aesthetic vibe. The place smells sometimes but apart from that very good spot for second hands.”
“There I was able to find the gifts and toys I was looking for for the family!
Full collection of Comics, Comics, Manga, Pokemon, Starwars, Marvel, DC, Comics, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Madame Web, Spawn and more!
I always go there when I'm in Montreal ????”
“Great bookstore with not only a large choice of books (in French) but excellent advisors who will take time with you to suggest you different authors and books and collections - and even propose you another bookstore if they don't have what you are looking for .
Great bookstore with not only a wide selection of books (in French) but excellent advisors who will take time with you to suggest different authors, books and collections - and will even suggest another bookstore if they don't have this What you are looking for.”
“A wonderful selection of books for all ages and reading levels. The bookstores took the time to really understand what I was looking for and described their recommendations in great detail. I've seen them do the same for several other customers. This bookstore is a gem!”
“This is a great neighborhood bookstore with well-curated lists in English and French, including many local authors, and fiction & nonfiction about Montreal. Perfect place to find something excellent to read; knowledgeable and friendly staff.”
“Beautiful, well organized, and very clean used bookstore with a great selection of books, vinyls, CDs, and DVDs. Helpful and friendly staff. Fantastic playlist for browsing books. Lovely place!”
“Pleasant, local place of discovery. I order both online and in person. Friendly and warm customer service. I even make the detour even though the big chains are closer to home. Would you like to open a branch in La Prairie? ??”
“I went there with my friend once. The bookstore is super beautiful and has a very pleasant vintage feel! The gentleman who works there is super nice and welcoming! This place definitely deserves a 5 star!”
“Oh what a beautiful bookstore and local business. Beautiful window and such a beautiful and calm bookstore. A large selection of Quebec books. Go encourage them instead of ordering online from the American whose name starts with A and ends with N. There is no problem with outdoor parking, it is free and spacious. Make sure you lock your vehicle securely.”
“This bookstore is one of the most secret and richest treasures in Montreal. It's a veritable Ali-Baba's cave for lovers of classic literature and other belles-lettristes, as the Germans say so well. Everyone will find what they are looking for, at a price that will allow them to fill a big bag of books from which to draw pleasure, wisdom or comfort.”
“Been here multiple times, the store owner is so incredibly kind and patient with me every single time. Always look forward to coming here even if I can't do it often. Cannot recommend this place enough”
“I love this neighborhood bookstore so much. It smells like paper. I like to stroll among the pens and inks, discovering beautiful books. It’s always a comforting visit when I go!”
“Locally owned bookseller, world-class customer service; a touch on the smaller side but it's my go-to for ordering books! The staff is always helpful, friendly, and easy to get ahold of.”
“Very pleasant neighborhood bookstore. Kind staff and good advice on buying novels based on what you like. Practical for ordering books which arrive quickly, and advantageous loyalty card. A little treasure on the Fleury promenade.”
“This bookstore is an outright treasure. I hopped in here while on vacation to take a quick peek, maybe get a few children's books, and a simple novel for myself to practice French. And I left feeling this experience will likely be one of the top highlights of my trip. They were so welcoming, helpful and enthusiastic to share all kinds of recommendations and information. I am so grateful I stumbled upon this place and that places & humans like this exist. ✨”
“Beautiful section of Quebec books and children's books. The 2nd floor has interesting games and puzzles. I found one that I had never seen anywhere else! The service is friendly. I will go back!”
“I can only imagine the difficulty of what it would be like to own and operate a store like this today. Excellent customer service! They carry a vast selection of books and toys that cater from children to adults both in French and English. Well worth a visit!”
“Charming neighborhood bookstore, courteous and competent employees. I went there to sell my books and I found the experience more pleasant than at L'Échange. I had time to wander around the store a bit and there were used and new books interspersed, organized by genre. When it comes to selling books, they are interested in literature, philosophy, etc. They don't really take recipe books, English books or young adult books. At 222 (opposite), they will buy young adult/teen books. The two branches buy books at 25% of the market price. In short, good experience and I recommend for buyers (although the selection is not huge) and sellers!
PS: the books you don't sell could delight the foundations and patients of your local hospital, so don't hesitate to head there with what you have left!”

“I go every so often to pick up a new notebook. I find it a dismal reflection of where we're at as a society how hard it is to find any kind of notebook or journal Without lined pages - just blank pages! They keep a single model of blank paged book in stock, which ive purchased several times now, next to maybe 50 varieties of lined pagers. I ask you - how are we expected to exercise our free will, our unburdened imaginations, to nurture the evolving minds of our children, if we only have lined pages to work with????”
“Beautiful bookstore, I love that there is a 'Coup de coeur Renaud Bray' sticker on certain books. So far, they have all been excellent recommendations!”
“Had a great experience at the knife skills class taught by Jonathan! I learned a lot of tips that I know I’ll apply in my daily cooking, and I appreciated that the class was so hands on. The food that was served was delicious too!”
“(Translated by Google) I had been waiting for a book for over a month and Raffin was the first to contact me.THANKS.(Original)J'étais en attente d'un livre depuis plus d'un mois et Raffin a été le premier à me contacter.Merci.”
“I reserve by telephone and I am always answered with courtesy, what can I say about the Place Longueuil branch, everything is there, choice of gifts, cards and books.”

“Such a cute little gem right by the McGill campus. Great selection and some really cool and unique editions of so many titles here! Had a blast just walking around and browsing.”
“A beautiful bookstore full of books on Sri Aurobindo in French, English and Sanskrit! They also have candles, yoga or mediation mats. They have an unguided meditation room on their second floor every Wednesday! The woman who welcomed me was very nice and very friendly!”
“Always love coming here. The only thing is I wish the romance section was a bit more orderly, like separating the LGBTQ+ authors/genres from the straight stuff. Looking for LGBTQ romance/dark romance is impossible unless you already have people's names to look up..
Also, same for Yaoi... Wish there was a section dedicated to yaoi/BL instead of spending an hour looking through the whole manga section hoping to find something new.
But place is always super friendly and helpful and quick. I go there legit every week, of only to browse and indulge in my little day-off ritual ❤
But I love coming here and just browsing. Love the anime and graphic novel collection they have! Didn't think I'd find Tokyo Aliens outside of Japan lol”
“Bookstore accessible by all means of transport. The staff is welcoming, courteous and professional. You can find almost all the books there at an affordable price.”
“I visited for the music/instruments section - the instruments are reasonably priced and there's a fair amount of variety, however the accessories are well overpriced. The service is good - the employees are usually very knowledgeable.”
