We think the food was average but filling. I found the ice dispenser was broken and lost its plastic push. Some cups and plates look old and dirty.

I always wish…read moreIKEA was an actual all furnished apt complex- what fun it would be to live in the store and wake up to the resto every day! The variety of options for furniture and room installments is huge. Good for the student, or the family starting off on a budget. I love IKEA- has great things, like costco, you can easily get sucked into buying a vortex of things. The bill adds up quickly. Sign up for the IKEA family card for discounts. I really like the restaurant for affordable food, I like they use washable utensils and plates- go green! Food here is so affordable. I had the swedish meatballs with mash potatoes and veggies for 8$. This meal is of good quality and generous in amount. The pureed jam adds a nice touch. Other meal options are fish and chips or the salmon and crab cakes. A great outing for the family, second to my costco trips.

Cute little shop featuring linens and things from Provence. They have a fabulous selection of dish…read moretowels that are so pretty you would not want to wash dishes with them at all. I will be hanging the one I bought on my kitchen wall. They also had a great selection of tableclothes. They had some placemats but none that I really liked or that matched the colors of my kitchen. They also had a large assortment of lavender sprigs and lavender sachets. I will definitely stop back here next time I am in Montreal. It is a small shop. I would have liked to have seen a larger selection of placemats but perhaps more people use tableclothes. Prices were a bit high ($95 for a table cloth, $20 for dish towel) but much cheaper than going to Provence.

We walked past this store several times at night and admired eveyrthing sparkling in the windows…read more Finally we couldn't resist the temptation to go in. We are visiting Montreal from Chicago with not much extra room in our suitcases, so we had to hold ourselves back from buying many wonderful things. The scarves, the cushions, the glassware, the leathergoods--all beautiful, and well-priced. The owner was so kind, letting us look to our hearts' content, and when we decided to buy a small glass lamp he was helpful with suggestions. The experience added to the fun and pleasure of our vacation. We look forward to seeing our little lamp sparkling in our living room at home.

I was recently wandering around Old Montreal with my daughter and we stumbled into this eclectic…read morehome goods store. It was fairly new; I had never seen this store before. The lovely young woman who worked there told me that they opened within the year, and there were two other Design Zola stores (one in Brossard and one on the plateau). Looking at the stores online, this site is rather small compared to the other locations, but man, it's in prime Vieux Montreal location, right on St. Paul across from the Bonsecours Market. I really like the business philosophy and corporate values of this company (i.e., supporting fair trade, and eco-friendly product lines). Personally, I'm not so into the boho/Indian/hippie aesthetic so much (think ceramic Buddha sculptures, brass Indian candelabras, rustic wooden frames surrounding mirrors, hanging star lanterns, lots of brass things, hand-painted ceramic knobs and hooks, batik-covered poof ottomans, elephant sculptures....you get the idea. They also carried lots of home textiles and some rustic wood furniture pieces. It all reminded me of a cross between Anthropologie and Restoration Hardware. But I appreciated the high quality of the goods, and my daughter really liked it all. Prices are high, but quality is good. It appeared like the items here are well-made and would last a long time. They also have some smaller, incidental-type items, like incense and incense accessories and hand-forged metal wall hooks. They also had a few decorative cushions around $40. So there are a few items here that aren't super pricey, and one could probably find some reasonably priced gifts here for folks who are into this Indian-boho look.

Was greeted by Paul who took his time and really educated my wife and I (first home owners) about kitchen counter tops and cabinets. Wow! I really learned a lot today. Paul was amazing! No stress to buy today kind of guy, was honest and straightforward. We have many other places to go to still but he I believe will be hard to beat on service! The quest continues!

The guys here are super nice. Dino remembered that we had stopped in earlier in the day and I had…read morechosen a lovely low seating 70s rocking chair, extremely durable and comfy! It cost me 40.00, which was kind of a splurge for someone as cheap as me, but I figure it will last forever... it made it all the way home to Brooklyn.

The owner, Marc, (who is drop dead gorgeous, ladies) apparently obtains these used articles of clothing and reconditions them himself. My friend (who's a girl) went hog wild and bought a few things.

It was hard to find anything under $20 (even used T-shirts!!!) so that was a little disappointing. The selection of denim jackets was exceptionally impressive though. But this is definitely a high end pricey shop. If you're looking for good bargains, I wouldn't recommend coming here. However, if you're looking to find unique items at any cost, this would be the place for you!
