This store is the first foray by Alessi in Canada. They do sell their stunning designs at some…read moreother stores but this is the first company owned store here. A friend of mine who likes their kitchenware and is more of a collector of their flatware wanted to buy a set as it was not sold in the non company store. The sales person was helpful and even told us of the promo that they have if one buys a 6 or 12 place setting collection. The store itself is functional and has decent display area. Location is prime and will goes with the product/price range they have. If you are interested in design and would like to see a modern take on regular everyday items for that alone I would suggest you visit this store.

I have been going to this hardware store since I was a child in the 80's and it was still called…read more"Pascals Hardware", and the supermarket across the street was still a "Steinbergs Grocery". Although it has up-scaled a great deal, going from an average neighborhood hardware, to upscale specialty paint/hardware/housewares and gifts it still has the same neighborhood feel and even some of the same staff. Wilder, who works behind the paint counter in the basement, where most of the "serious" hardware is located, has been there ever since I can remember, and always provides one of the best customer service experiences available. He knows his stuff, and is always happy to help. Upstairs, where the gifts and housewares are found, is home to what I can only describe as *the* best selection of gifts for hard to shop for hipsters and grandparents ever... It has to be seen to be believed. If your looking for some unique gifts, specialty hardware, or are just tired of the so-so service at other big box hardwares, try Hogg out...

This more of a hardware store/boutique. I was recently looking for a meatloaf pan with a removable…read moreinsert, so you can lift the meatloaf out of all the oil and fat that inevitably comes out once it's finished cooking ( if you've ever made meatloaf at home, you know exactly what I'm talking about). Anyway it seems Montreal doesn't have a lot of places that sells that but saw online that Hogg hardware does since it's part of the Home Hardware group. Went in, ordered it, got a call 2 days later to pick and it wasn't expensive at all. The guys are also really nice but while I was waiting around I saw a ton of cool stuff for the home including soy candles, funky door handles and coat hooks, and stuff you'll never see at Home Depot. I used to buy soy candles at Winners (since soy doesn't produce soot and burns cleanly), but increasingly they don't carry them anymore and instead have "hand-poured" candles ( what the hell is that supposed to mean if it doesn't change the fact that it produces soot?) but now at least I can get some here at a reasonable price. There's a reason why it's located in Westmount and also Nun's Island, it's definitely more bourgeoisie and less blue-collar.

Lunch-à-Porter is the cutest shop in Old Montreal featuring adorable bento boxes, reusable…read moreutensils, drinkware, serving ware, lunch bags, resuable snack bags, etc. Most items are from Asia which, as you may or may not know, produces some cute-ass stuff. It's all very colorful, useful, and the majority of the items are eco-friendly. Lots of kid-friendly products too. I work from home so I don't have much of a need for items like these but walking around through this small (but delightful!) shop, I sure wish I had an office to take an adorably packed lunch to. But then I remembered I get to work in my PJs and a bathrobe and I put the panda bento box down and continued on my merry way. But for those who bring a lunch or have kids who like a little variety, this place has got you covered!

The display window caught my eye with its well-designed artistic show of its unique products. What products, you ask? They sell eco-friendly bottles and bento boxes!!!! Yes, for those of you who bring lunch to work/school, you can store your food in these adorable and practical lunch boxes with different compartments. Bento boxes and water bottles are sold here in different sizes. I've seen S'well bottles elsewhere but this store has some pretty colors that I couldn't help but buy one. There are kid-friendly products and everything in different colors. I can't help but get excited about this! Too bad I was only visiting, but I was SO glad I found this gem on my last day in Montreal. The lady who helped me was SO friendly and so nice. Take a look, you won't regret it.

Triple checked the date and time on my phone to make sure I wasn't imagining things. The selection is decent, although nothing that can't be found elsewhere, and frequently for less $$ online. Still, I'm fine paying extra and crossing town to shop a local small business vs the internet juggernaut that needn't even be named. Had a ten-dollar item in hand but had come to make specific purchases that would have amounted to hundreds. I've shopped there before, but I won't again, sadly.

I purposely didn't pick-up a shopping cart at the door so I wouldn't break the bank. This is going to be a regular stop for my trips to Montreal.
