About
Comme des enfants is a children's clothing boutique on Rue Marie-Anne in the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood. The shop curates a mix of local Quebec designers and international children's brands, focusing on well-made, comfortable clothing for babies through about age 7.
The clothing selection leans toward practical but stylish -- pieces that hold up to playground use but still look put-together. You'll find everyday basics alongside dressier options, plus accessories like hats, scarves, and small bags. The shop also carries some toys and gift items, though clothing is the main draw.
The boutique is small and cozy, which gives it personality but means large strollers can be cumbersome. The staff is warm and helpful, and the shop has a neighborhood feel rather than a commercial one. If you're looking for a locally-made children's outfit as a Montreal souvenir, this is a strong choice.
The Plateau location puts you right in the heart of one of Montreal's best family neighborhoods. Parc La Fontaine is a short walk east, and Avenue du Mont-Royal's shops and restaurants are one block north. The area is packed with bakeries, ice cream shops, and casual dining that works well with kids. Open seven days a week from 11 AM to 5 PM, which makes it easy to fit into a day of exploring.
