“What a good place, best bookstore ive been in at montreal so far. Good selection of philosophy books, with most at them at $3-4 only.
Worker is also very nice!”
“I would like to thank Camille very sincerely. Conscientious, proactive, very attentive, she helped me find books on the very vast subject of Love (seen from a spiritual, philosophical angle). As a thorough search was not possible during my stay in the store, she took the trouble to note down my contact details and found some very relevant books for me, which I was able to purchase two days later from his colleagues, just as friendly.”
“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 .

“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? ??”
“Plenty of parking on site.
Very difficult to exit through Tashereau, I advise going behind and taking the light.
I went there with my son for books and comics. We found a few.
There is plenty of stock in store. To visit with your children!”
“(Translated by Google) Nice bookstore. Large selection of books and beautiful games for children(Original)Belle librairie. Grande sélection de livres et de beaux jeux pour enfants”
“Lovely bookstore that has many details that make a visit to this shop a unique experience. It is more remarkable since we see bookstores disappear. Thanks for the chair or two to skim through books; I did not feel any pressure to buy. The attendant was helpful when I asked about earth art books.”
“A great used bookstore. They have soooo many books, and you can find things you never expected as you look through what seems like an endless collection!! Highly recommend.”
“This is a great neighborhood games and toys store. I have been buying gifts for my children there for years. No matter their age, there is always something suitable. It's inspiring. Plus, they can package your purchases for you. It’s handy for last minute gifts.”
“Nice independent bookstore right downtown. Everything is well organized and some books have little summaries handwritten by staff on cue cards. I love that old-style feel. You can order books online from them and if they don't have them, they'll order it for you. Takes a bit longer than the big A but it feels so much nicer to support a home-grown business.”
“Adorable bookstore and the employees are excellent! They always find a book despite my sometimes vague descriptions :) the atmosphere inside is very pleasant. THANKS”
“Very nice shop and very good service. The staff are warm and welcoming. Many articles representing the history and culture of this country as well as books and decorations of all kinds.”

“About the cooking classes,
Johnathan, the owner and chef, is part artist, part scientist, part magician and part educator.
He is a food hero who wears his cape on the front while he spins his magic to delight our senses and inform our understanding of the delicious and the delectable.
This guy and this store are absolutely amazing.
Treat yourself or a foodie that you care about to a truly wonderful experience.
You will savor. You will spend quality time. You will learn and you will celebrate the wonders of this fundamental, ever-present art form.
Bonne appetite”
“A very wide selection of books in English and French (possibly more). A super friendly staff and great AC. (one hot day me and my roommate stopped in there to cool off since the AC is so good. Lol.
Its a great bookstore all around. Just wish it also had a small drink cafe or something like some other Indigo stores do.
But everything else is top-tier.”
“Very nice bookstore which offers both a beautiful and large selection of books in English as well as a selection of books in French.Personally, I am a big fan of business books, and I appreciate the selection made in this bookstore. I realized over time that if the book is not available in this bookstore and has to be special ordered, it is because it is probably not interesting.”
“Nice collection but above all I came across a great bookseller. He knew he wouldn't have what I was looking for and he didn't hesitate to tell me in which bookstore I could find what I was looking for!”
“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’m absolutely amazed by the incredible collection of items this shop offers! The quality of their products is outstanding — I especially love that their caps are New Era and that they carry so many unique collectible items. The staff is always friendly and welcoming; I recently had to make a small exchange because of a mistake on my part, and the employee who helped me was incredibly kind, polite, and helpful. I truly appreciate his excellent service. I highly recommend this store — the students working here provide exceptional customer service and make every visit a great experience!”

“Bibliophile is a treasure. Their first-class service and extensive proficiency in all genres of books is simply unmatched. Yet those qualities are second only to the genuine love Bibliophile has for books and their readers - young and young at heart. How many businesses can boast over thirty years of continued success? Thank you for your wonderful recommendations (and the beautiful wrapping for special gifts!) from a fellow book lover. See you soon!”
“I've been going there for 12 years, the best place for school supplies.
The owner is always very charming and welcoming, he has accompanied us and advised us over the years.”
“Really pleasant lady when I was going to buy tobacco products. Good prices and really kind when I was looking around. A little small inside, I can imagine it gets crampy if there's many people but other than that everything laid out perfectly. You can find what you're looking for pretty quickly. Great experience!”
“I absolutely love buying random gifts at Archambault at Place des Arts in Montreal. It’s become my go-to spot for unique and thoughtful presents, and it’s just so convenient since it’s right near the metro entrance, making it super easy to pop in whenever I’m nearby. The store has such a great vibe, with a fantastic selection of music, books, and even kitchenware. It’s always a joy to browse through their collection, whether I’m looking for a new album or a hidden gem of a novel.
What makes this place even better is the friendly, knowledgeable staff—they’re always happy to help with recommendations or point me in the right direction. The layout is spacious and organized, so it’s never overwhelming. Plus, with its prime location near Place des Arts, it’s the perfect stop before or after checking out a show or event in the area.
Overall, Archambault is a must-visit for anyone who loves music, literature, or just hunting for a great gift. It’s a true gem in the heart of Montreal’s arts scene!”
“Truly impeccable service. The young woman at the checkout (a beautiful young woman with blonde hair) helped me find the book I was looking for. She was very courteous and polite. Thank you so much. I will come back for sure”
