I was in Montreal this weekend and had an unfortunate red wine accident which rendered a white Uniqlo oxford shirt useless. This was from about 3 years ago when Uniqlo oxfords were a great item (unlike the crap current versions), so I was quite upset and hit the streets near my hotel to find a replacement.
I stumbled into Club Monaco and was rather surprised at how decent a store it is. My memories of it from the last time I went (late 90's?) was that it was similar to a French Connection or a similarly "club clothing" douchey store, but I was pretty impressed with their offerings. Some really nice coats, a saw an awesome fair isle sweater, great slim chinos, and a good selection of what seemed to be well made shirts. Their marketing is complete crap, because the brand still carries a eurotrash club aesthetic in my opinion, and they have a 1.0 online presence which is poorly handled.
I'm not saying it's a destination spot, but they have some basics that are definitely worth checking out
