Gate-side in YUL’s main departures area, La Boutique is the basic last‑minute stop for souvenirs and travel needs. You’ll see it in the international departures zone at Montréal–Trudeau, just past security, mixed in with the other duty free and snack spots. It leans heavily Canadian: maple products, Montréal T‑shirts, caps, and logo mugs, plus the usual magnets and keychains.
Expect airport pricing: a simple logo mug often runs around CAD 15–20, and T‑shirts land closer to CAD 25–35. You can also grab standard travel add‑ons like neck pillows, basic headphones, phone cables, and adapters, usually a few dollars more than downtown Montréal shops. Hours typically track the main international banks of flights and often stretch from early morning into late evening, but late‑night departures after 23:00 can find it already closed.
Food is secondary here. You’ll see prepacked maple candy, boxed chocolates, and some snack bags that work as quick gifts more than actual in‑flight meals. For real food, head to the cafés or fast food closer to your gate; think of La Boutique as the place for a last souvenir top‑up rather than dinner. Lines move fast since most people are in and out in under five minutes.
Practical tip: if you want anything breakable (like glass maple syrup bottles or ceramic mugs), ask the cashier for extra wrapping on the spot and pack it into your carry‑on before you walk back to your YUL gate.
