Rue Bernard in Outremont is one of Montreal's most pleasant shopping streets, tree-lined with independent boutiques, bakeries, and cafes. Boutique Citrouille fits right into this upscale neighbourhood vibe. The store itself is small but well-organized, with products displayed attractively.
The shop is closed on Mondays, which is standard for Outremont boutiques. The most relaxed browsing days are Tuesday through Thursday. Weekend hours are available but the store gets busier, especially on Saturday mornings with neighbourhood families.
