Fairview Pointe Claire

Good mall in west island. A large selection of shops with parking. Can get very busy though.

Big bummer is stores closing their doors at 5pm on weekends, but a nice mall with ample amount of stores.

The Première mall in the W Island Fairview Pointe Claire has come a long way in the recent years. Their proprietor Cadillac Fairview has done an admirable job in fixing up their malls so they provide an upscale retail experience. You can see this with many malls in their portfolio. Fairview boasts high ceilings and large cavernous space that is tastefully decorated!
FPC boasts over 200 shops and has moved to more upscale shopping such as Banana Republic, Coach, Michael Kors.
The food court serves as an excellent place for a cheap lunch. Your typical selection: Asian, Lebanese, sushi, A & W, tacos. Something for most palettes.
For me it’s a nice mall that requires a decent amount of walking. Good for light walking exercise!
*******Beware of shoplifting for stuff left in vehicles as it’s a big place. Not that I have had first hand experience but malls are one of the worst places for break in’s especially during the month of December.

Good selection, you can find almost anything while it not being a complete maze. The place is sadly FILLED with little «gangster» 14 year olds thinking they own the spot but there is nothing that can be done.
Closing hours at 5 on week-​ends are a pretty big bummer. Decent prices at the food court but nothing fantastic. Not enough parking spaces or decent electronic stores.

Came here on a Monday to escape the heat outdoors. Ended up buying a Venti Iced Tea Lemonade at Starbucks and a pair of sandals from Aldo.
An excellent shopping experience with a great variety of stores for the whole family. I would imagine someone could spend the whole day here if they had the time. The mall also has great places to eat as well as a large food court if you get hungry.
Parking might be a challenge but I was luck enough to find a spot right by the middle entrance near the Bank of Montréal.

It’s the Mall that has it all, selection of great stores for everyone in the family!
Definitely Montréal’s Flag Ship Mall good selection of restaurants at the food court! Just that simple!

Its a mall, so what can you say? Its busy like xmas almost every weekend here. Has all the name brand stores as well as a Winners and Homesense. The Best Buy is a seperate building in the parking lot, you can not access it from the mall.

As shopping centers go, this is one of the better ones.
Sure, it lacks an indoor skating rink, roller coaster, and water slide, but when you go to Fairview you can count on a good chance of finding what you’re looking for in a good selection of good shops, a great food court, and a pleasant atmosphere shared by all ages. Great improvements in the last 10 – 15 years has made Fairview more than just a place to shop.

Sometimes you just want to wander around a mall with your mom and little sister and try on summer dresses and buy socks and let mom look at strange crystal bird things. When I’m in a certain mental state the suburban mall has a weird appeal — all those things mall designers do to make you feel like time has stopped and like you could be anywhere in the world suddenly work for me: no street facing windows, just skylights; no clocks, just infinite intimate apparel options and Mmmmmuffins for miles. Fairview is staffed by it’s target market: young West Islanders, so it is a little more fun than the stateliness of a Rockland and a little kinder and more interested in you than a mall downtown. End of the day, it’s a mall, but for what it is it’s plenty fine.

J’hais les centres d’achats. Je pense toujours à acheter chez le petit avant d’acheter chez le gros. Fairview ont pas mal tous les gros magasins principaux nord-​américains et ont aussi beaucoup de variétés niveau resto. Ils ont un (mon) optométriste juste collé sur le Lenscrafter et une des meilleurs SAQ du West-​Island. C’est vraiment une place où avant il y avait des jours peu occupé, maintenant, c’est juste toujours occupé et c’est remplis de jeune ados pré-​pubert qui cherche à gaspiller le 40 $ qu’ils ont reçu pour leur lunch dans un autre bidule cool qui est à la mode. Il y a un Terminus qui est pas mal le pilier des bus de la section «nord» de l’Ouest de l’Ile. C’est un centre d’achat et qui dit centre d’achat dit cher. Oui il y a des bas-​bas prix desfois comme dans tous les centres d’achat. Ça s’est pas mal améliorer versus y’a 10 ans, mais c’est un Carrefour Laval plus petit dans le fond.
Mon take mais bon pas le plus positif. Je suis un peu haissable mais bon.

This is a shopping mall.
Fairview has changed quite a bit in the past 10 years. I worked there in 1999 – 2000 and as I remember it, right then, a lot of shops had closed and it was somewhat boring (you know, more than your usual suburbia mall). Since maybe the mid 2000’s, new stores have put up shops and it’s actually fun to go shopping there (I wrote shopping, not hanging out! ;) — I know I’ll find what I’m looking for and I’ll have a few options to choose from.
So Fairview doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It’s not the West Edmonton Mall nor the Galleries de la Capital (Québec City) either; its architecture isn’t magical, it’s not huge… BUT you will find everything in here!
From your bookstore (Renaud-​Bray), to your cheap essentials (Winners!), to The Bay, Gap, Sephora (this is the only place where you’ll find one in the 514 btw), Apple Store, Kernels Popcorn (!), etc. etc. Plus, it also has quite a decent food court.
Et voilà… simple and basic; what you see is what you get.

Every time I’m back home in the MTL, Fairview is one of my first stops. Maybe it’s based on the years I spent shopping there as a kid, or maybe the hours I waited in the terminal for the bus — either way, I love the collection of fun stores (chains and not) the variety in the food court (in the US you get Subway, burgers or Asian. Shish Taouk is just a dream for us!), and most importantly — the epic smoked meat sandwich at the Deli.
YAY Fairview!

A tous ceux qui souhaiteraient trouver une alternative aux centres d’achat du centre ville, je propose Fairview. Ce centre là n’a rien d’extraordinaire: pas d’architecture particulière, pas de passé mystérieux, pas non plus de magasins plus originaux que ceux que vous trouverz dans les centre Eaton ou le complexe Desjardins. Mais par contre il a quelque chose de génial: un parking gratuit! Et rien que ça, ça vaut de l’or non?!
Bön et pour la sélection de boutiques sympa à absolument visiter, je vous recommande «Buid a bear «où votre enfant pourra faire lui-​même son doudou, ou encore «Old Navy «qui vous rappellera sûrement des H&M et autres Zara, car comme ces magasins là, celui-​ci a une sélection de coupes et de design qui lui sont propres et qui sont très jolis. Quoiqu’un plus dans l’ordre de prix d’un Zara que d’un H&M. Mais ça, hein, comme on dit par chez moi, on peut pas avoir le beurre et le cul de la crémière!
