Kuriosity ....didn't kill this kat. Not your typical souvenir shop along Notre Dame, very close to…read morethe basilica. This store is an interesting and odd mix of gifts and collectibles. I suppose it's a little macabre with all the skulls in the window but what's not to love about skulls? You can get some typical souvenirs and signage to decorative guns, and other really interesting looking pieces. In the front of the store was a small wagon with a huge metal ant on it. I know, how random but the kids loved it so we had to stop. The shop is full of knick knacks displayed from floor to ceiling. The curvy, windy aisles lead you to the adult material mags in the back. Just FYI in case you want to prevent children or others with sensitive eyes from being upset...or turned on.

If I lived in Montreal, I would probably blow all of my money on this store…read more It's not for everyone, but if you are someone who enjoys having extravagant, cool looking knick-knacks, this is the place to go. The prices are a bit on the higher end, but so are the quality of the things you can buy. On top of that, the employees (owner and son?) are incredibly nice. One of my best experiences at any store.

This is the ultimate store for the most obscure items you might ever need! They have supplies for…read moreevery occasion at the fraction of the price you'd pay at Walmart or Amazon. School supplies, bachelorette party, baby shower, engagement party, house party, BBQs, Christmas decorations, home improvement, cleaning supplies, car accessories, baking and cooking supplies, knitting, sowing, craft and art supplies, and so much more. One of the things that sets them apart from other dollarstore's is their large collection of balloons and their ability to blow them up with helium. Each helium balloon costs $0.50, you can call ahead to have them blown up and just come pick them up. On weekends there is usually a line up for the helium so if you need a lot of balloons best to call ahead. You can buy your own balloons elsewhere but if a balloon pops while it's being filled with helium, Forêt will not replace it so best to purchase their balloons. Forêt guarantees that their balloons are helium certified. Forêt is also a family run business. The owners speak English and French. A review below mentioned that personnel didn't speak English but I've been coming here for years and never had a problem. The store is very busy, the best way to get service is ask at the cash which isle a specific item is located in. Forêt is such a gem, the south shore is lucky to have it!

Later Yelp from our experience here in June, 2019:…read more I absolutely love Dollarama and it's always a highlight of my visit to MTL to check out as many as I can. This is a good location, right near UQAM. Some of my favorite wine glasses have actually come from the Dollarama and it's also a great place to get greeting cards in French. Additionally, there's a number of drinks and snacks. It is the best place to buy sponges, plastic gloves, dusters and other cleaning products- so cheap. Also, they usually have a good selection of gift bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper and other things for the holidays. At Halloween, they have cute decor items, some even in French. They now accept Visa (they used to only take cash).

I stumbled across this business after seing a Facebook ad in my newsfeed. There was a sponsored…read morepost showcasing a range of pictures of items on sale. This liquidation store offers a wide assortement of goods ranging from food, toys, household (bedding, decorations, kitchenware..) clothing and electronics. It is essentially a discount store that sells refurbished items that were normally sold at Costco for example, food that could be close to their best before date, discontinued items, "rejects" and other mistmatched goods. Most items are new and in great, unopened conditions. Other times the packaging could be damaged without affecting the quality of the item. There are many similar liquidation/outlet centers within the city that offer these types of deals, but this particular location caught my eye because they sold things I've never seen elsewhere. For example, they had frozen Mcdonalds chicken nuggets - a 1 kilo bag for 10$, which was roughly 50 nuggets. These are the real thing served at Mcdonalds restaurants and came directly from the supplier. We baked them at home and it was a hit - the whole family loved them! It's a fun place to shop if you want to come often since it's like a treasure hunt. You never know what you'll find. We ended up also buying some cheap Keurig coffee Kcups, chocolates some beauty items and a blanket. Small family run business with great service. If you like finding a deal and are in need of a gift at a good price come here!

The Slightly Longer Version: Even though Dollarama is a Canadian chain, I still like to check out different locations especially when I'm on vacation because different locations sometimes have different inventory and sometimes they have local stuff that's not available at locations in other cities. I was in the area shopping at Winners anyway, so decided to pop into the Dollarama to poke around. I didn't end up buying anything but saw a very unusual product: nacho cheese Doritos flavoured lip balm (!) That's just weird! The store was clean and staff were nice. Review #65 (2026)

TL;DR/The Short Version: Large, but busy and crowded store…read more More luxury brands here than other downtown Winners locations. The Longer Version: This location is inside Place Montreal Trust. It's on the most lower level of the mall. Same level as the Food Court. It has the largest selection of luxury brands of all the downtown-ish Winners (more than the Alexis Nihon, Complexe Desjardins and Peel Winners). I spotted an Yves Saint Laurent bag for $2700. They had Gucci shoes, sunglasses and hats. Some Chloe, Ferragamo, and Valentino bags too. And other brands. Their luxury brands are locked up in glass displays so you have to get a staff member to unlock it for you. The contemporary brands like Coach, Michael Kors, Ted Baker, and Kate Spade are out and about for you to handle on your own. This location is large and has a jewelry section and children's clothing and shoes as well (these sections are the first to be cut in the smaller "urban concept" stores, and even though this location is urban it's definitely a full-sized store). It has the usual women's and men's clothing and shoes and housewares. It's also always busy and crowded. So my feelings about it are mixed. I love the size and large selection but I hate the crowds.
