Visited on our trip to Montreal and if it wasn't for airline baggage fees I'd have bought about 6 books instead of 1. They have a cosy spot to sit and read, helpful but not pushy staff, and a wide selection of authors. If you like books and are in Montreal, I recommend it!

Wonderful selection of books in English and French.
I have no idea how, on our 5 previous trips to Montreal, my husband and I didn’t know Librairie Bertrand was there in old town.

This little gem of a bookshop has books in both English and French and I appreciated the kind service by the staff person.

Lots of browsing awaits book lovers! I was on the hunt for a copy of the very popular Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and was able to buy the last copy in stock!! As a book blogger and proud book nerd I was thrilled!

I will definitely be back to Librairie Bertrand on future visits to this beautiful city.

Thanks very much for your ‘book’ hunt expertise!!!

I have been eager to get my paws on SPARE by Prince Harry.

Thanks for putting a copy aside for me from your back-stock.

Your library is beautifully merchandised, as so many one-of-a-kind captures to easily navigate the mind to far off places.

I’ll for sure pop by again to say hello again.

Merci ✨📚📒📓📖📕📘📙✨

Good size local Bookshop in Old Montreal offering an equal balance between French and English books of various categories. Some interesting non-mainstream selections.

Have never, ever seen so many travel guides in my life!! The shop is not large, but had enough English language selections for us. Very helpful bilingual cashier. While we were there, a beautiful large fluffy dog came in with its owner and it seemed perfectly comfortable...maybe he was a local? Gotta love a bookshop that allows dogs to come in!

Great bookstore. Helpful staff and great selection. Staff helped find some great books for our daughter. Highly recommend over the Indigo downtown for both selection of French books and helpfulness of staff.
