Place Versailles is a-ok. Yes, it could be better; however, it's a major shopping center with…read moreample parking on the east side of Montreal where, unbeknownst to a lot of tourists, there is a large swath of different neighborhoods, some with attractive detached homes, with many demographics having different tastes, needs, and budgets. The layout is not exactly simple and linear, but it's not that challenging since the mall is more of a medium-sized one. It has 2 or 3 anchors and plenty of "middle class" stores. I say that because you won't find the upscale ones here and one of the anchors is Canadian Tire (which is a general merchandise mart as well). The food court is small, but it has enough variety. If you're looking to a mall food court to eat well, I'd question why you'd even be doing that. Mall food court food is "tide over" food. Not everyone needs trendy things. I say that because, in Montreal, there are many places to buy things that are "cool" or "chic," with most of them in more urban(e) shopping centers downtown or in boutiques throughout the more sought after neighborhoods. However, people also need malls with bread and butter stores and, at present, that's the niche that Place Versailles appears to fill. Because of its simple nature, Place Versailles gets 3 stars from me. It's great that Montreal has a mall like this within its city limits, and that it sits right next to the 25 at Sherbrooke. This type of suburban mall is more likely to be encountered further out ... on the West Island, in Laval, and on the north and south shores. Again, there is plenty of free parking - a real challenge in most parts of Montreal - and, should you want to take the Metro running under Sherbrooke to get here, your station would be Radisson.

Because unlike other old mall, they updated and refreshed most of the stuff. Sure, lots of elements from the '90 are still there. But they also feature the big box store you want from a mall.

This store is fun, but a hit and miss for me sometimes…read more The quality is suspect on some items (I bought a sweater there and it pilled on its FIRST wash), and since some of the pieces are done in Montreal, they're not really checked for wearability (another sweater had sleeves so short they should have been 3/4 sleeves instead of this weird in between thing). The prices are okay. I wouldn't say affordable, but you can probably find something special here once in a while.

The main selection of the products available in the store are textile items, including brightly coloured kimonos in painted silk, kimono cover jackets in *exquisite* and finely detailed shibori patterns, all also silk. There are tabi socks, tamari balls made with finely wrapped string patterns, amazing traditional firemen's jackets, so many kinds of sculptural scarves, woven scarves, and many other types of cloth. There are select housewares as well, such as cast iron teapots, ceramics, traditional wooden dolls and masks, a few garden ornaments, and jewelry. The store owner and her one staff person were extremely informative about all of the items in the store, and it was easy to see that the owner of this store takes a great deal of pride in offering very choice, high quality Japanese goods. Now, perhaps you, dear reader are wondering about prices, with all that high quality. Surprisingly, things are very fairly and reasonably priced! I am very, very tempted to go for one of those shibori jackets, as I have never seen anything like them anywhere in Montreal, and being a textile artist, I can deeply appreciate the extreme labour and craftsmanship that has gone into making them. I'm pretty sure I need those cute tabi socks, too. Definitely worth dropping in for a visit, to meet the people behind the counter, and learn a few things about Japanese culture! Something beautiful might just steal your heart, too. Or, next time you need a *nice* gift for someone, I say get it here.

I grew up in this neighbourhood but I haven't came here since many years. I remembered the Plaza…read morefor its lineup of wedding dresses stores. But some things have changed: a new marquise, the addition of street art. This week is their annual sidewalk sale held every summer. Due to the closed businesses or vacant storefronts, the retailers displays were spaced out. The Plaza is 4 blocks long of budget retails, from Jean-Talon to Bellechasse streets. However, I had the impression that it was longer than this. Perhaps it's because I was still a kid back then. It's far from being my favourite shopping street, though it brings back childhood memories.

One of the few streets in Montreal that crosses the entire island from South to North. Most people…read morehere know St-Hubert means the Plaza. It's the part from Jean-Talon to Bellechasse where there is a glass covering the sidewalk. It's great for window-shopping, even if most of the stores have seen better days. While this street itself has seen a bit of a decline when indoor malls started opening, it has started to reverse. The area is becoming more and more famous for trendy bars and nightspots. The selection of restaurants goes from fast-food to old diners to upscale. It is still mostly about clothing boutiques, the fashion is hit or miss and it's over 90% women's fashion here but one could still find whatever one seeks here (batteries, luggage, perfume). Take a second to explore the streets that intersect the Plaza, Jean-Talon is a major artery for the city. Bélanger is up and coming, St-Zotique is more branché, Beaubien is the coolest (for me). Bellechasse is the quietest but it's good for a nice bike ride. Try to find when they have their sidewalk sales, you will not be disappointed.

Well, not so much in the shoe department, as I still don't see a whole lot of size 11 shoes. It's the selection of Kipling purses. For a while, I have been longing for a purple Kipling purse. They are few and far between. I have a black one that I love. I managed to find a small purple one in Ottawa, which I adore. I found the same purple coloured Kipling purse at this store, but a bit larger. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe it. I held it and debated whether I wanted it. Rational me put it down and got on with my day. However, the day before I had to head home, I decided to stop by the store again. If this purple purse was there, it was meant to be mine. Otherwise, I would be okay if it went to a happy shopper to love. On Thursday, I arrived just before noon. It was there! It was mine! I now am the proud owner of two purple Kipling purses and am extremely happy. The cashier helping me out was great and friendly. She asked if I had a TJX Style card. I did and had it scanned. I paid using a debit card and all was well. The checkout area caters to both HomeSense and Marshalls. Another first was dropping by the women's washroom with a purchased item. I have rarely done it. However, since I had been out and about for at least a couple of hours, it was okay. I also wanted to declare this purse mine. The washroom was clean and spacious. It's in the far right corner of the store when you first walk in. There is plenty of parking in front of this store, both on Sunday and Thursday. I got spots pretty close to the main entrance. (257)
