In the gourmand’s metropolis of Montreal<\/a>, one of the best ways to fill the time between meals is to go shopping. While Quebec’s largest city was first founded as a missionary center rather than a fur-trading post, as was the case with several other Canadian cities, the proceeding centuries have seen Montreal more than make up for its nonmaterialist origins. In addition to a robust and diverse array of vintage-clothes sellers and interesting bookstores, there are local craftspeople and formidable luxury retailers that together embody the city’s unique blend of cosmopolitanism, utilitarian waste-not attitude, and indie, intellectual spirit\u2014all in close proximity. It’s unlikely that you’ll leave empty-handed.<\/p>\n

Near Plateau Mont-Royal is the cavernous and colorful March\u00e9 Floh<\/a>, spanning decades of fashion history. Mile End’s Boh\u00e8me Vintage<\/a> stocks quality wool and denim, and steams them right behind the counter.<\/p>\n

A ground-floor showroom that will leave you contemplating buying up all its furniture, Morceau<\/a> is open on weekends and displays chic vintage pieces and new designs\u2014svelte Italian lamps, shag rugs, and teak furniture included. On-site, owners Alain Caron and Vickie Gauthier restore and refinish by hand the vintage goods they procure (and ship internationally), meaning each item is one of a kind. For a more maximalist sprawl, browse Antiquit\u00e9s Van Horne<\/a> for a labyrinthine array of oddities both useful and not so useful\u2014like gilded frames, animal figurines, and suits of armor.<\/p>\n
