Not as great as it used to be in its heyday. Looks neglected, but you need to go, just to see it. I wouldn't go to any restaurants in the downtown section. There are excellent restaruants on the side streets

Walk down Catherine for all the shopping and food. Gets crowded at 4 pm. Have lunch or dinner at Rue Peel and enjoy the crowds.

Ste. Catherine is like any other busy shopping street (Michigan Ave in Chicago, 5th Ave in NY), it's chaotic and has most of the stores you would find in any other city. I recommend skipping the shopping and looking for boutiques. There is an area by the restaurant L'Express (not sure which neighbourhood) that has cute shops, similar to Greenwich... More

Every store that you could imagine is along Rue St Catherine. Small shops and large retail stores alike are along this street. A short walk from Old Montreal this is a must see.

The busiest street in Montreal. If you like shopping, this is THE place to go. You need lots of patience because it's not easy to find parking. Most stores are now open until 6. Keep walking!

We visited Montreal since we have been teenagers even though we did not know each other then. I love St. Catherine; it is my favorite street. There is food, clothing , people, buildings and interesting activities.
