What an awesome store!!!! I was visiting a friend in Montreal and she brought me here as our premiere destination on a Foodie shopping tour.The store carries only cookbooks and oh SO many cookbooks.....sorted in to Ethnicitys. Baking, Pasta, Cocktails, you name the classification and they have it!The staff are friendly and personable and know their stuff. They are great about answering questions and giving recommendations.Not only do they sell Cookbooks galore they also give cooking lessons in the kitchen which is also located within the store. We had so much fun!!! I bought three cookbooks! :)

Very nice bookstore, lots of choice, unfortunately, impossible to be served in French by the lady who was there, not even a simple thank you in the language of Molière and yet they also sell books in French. I'm not a language ayatollah, but a little effort like hello, thank you, goodbye would have been appreciated. I understand that not everyone is bilingual, but a word of apology, like sorry, I don't speak French, and even said in English, is rarely asked for. It's even insulting, let's say that we don't feel very welcome as French speakers. ?

Amazing experience attending a cooking session with the chef and owner of this place. While we all eat meat, we asked for a vegan meal in order to try and learn something new. Colorful, delicious dishes that were straightforward to prepare. Thank you!

I went to this bookstore over the weekend and my reactions to this cozy little shop were as varied as their collection of books for sale. Tucked on a quiet street in Westmount.My first reaction was shock paired with sheer delight as my partner pointed out the windows. A shop, selling only cookbooks. Dear reader, I lost my entire mind.This little shop is extremely well organized by type of cuisine you're searching for. Its perfect for browsing and searching for something you're questing for (we did both).The cashier there on Saturday helped recommend an amazing vegetarian book to me! She was so helpful in finding exactly what I was looking for with only a few key words.Also, A+ doggo. Amazing shop. Go check it out!

A wonderful store! Not only do I find amazing cookbooks, I also get my knives sharpened with their drop off service! I have met authors and had delicious food at book signings, and I have the opportunity to take classes! A business that supports the community with charity events, signings and much more.

Love buying my cookbooks here. They have the absolute best selection of books. Why buy from anywhere else, when there is the most fun and supportive staff with such knowledge of the kitchen?Also- I have taken MANY classes at this shop, and it is always a highlight. One of the most exciting activities you can do. You can eat a delicious meal, as well as learn tips and tricks along the way. From my very first class, Jonathan taught me so much, tricks I still use DAILY in my cooking.If you love cooking- go here! If you are looking for a great gift- go here! If you want to plan a nice date night- book a class! Thanks for being the best around.
