Montreal's record shops benefit from the city's deep music history and its position as a crossroads of French and English culture. You will find Quebec chanson alongside American jazz, Montreal indie alongside European electronic imports, and rare pressings that surface from decades of local collecting. The shops on this list are the kind of places where you walk in for one album and leave an hour later with a stack. The Plateau and Mile End have the most options, and most shops let you listen before you buy.
