I would refer to Dante as either the safest cooking store in the world or the tastiest gun supply shop in the world. Think of Arnold Schwarznegger and Martha Stewart head shopping together this is where they would come! Either way... it's an odd combo but has worked for almost six decades! I heard from a co-worker this was the place to come for a pasta machine I didn't think also you could get... plus

I always heard good things about Quincaillerie Dante but never went in. So I decided to remedy that and took a look inside after perusing around JTM. The place is tiny and packed but the staff is super friendly and the place has everything you could want for your kitchen! Le Creuset pots, quality wooden chopping boards, etc. One cool thing that caught my eye were these coloured covers - they... plus

I know they have sporting goods as well, but I really know Quincaillerie Dante for my kitchenware.

It's neighborhood flavor as well - they've been around since 1956.

They always know exactly what they have and what will get the job done. True, they don't necessarily have the biggest selection but you don't need it. The carry quality products that will last generations at reasonable prices =... plus

I can't think of any other place where you can buy a Dutch oven and a shotgun all in one place. No wait... I can... Canadian Tire. Except the guns are much better here;)

This is what I like to refer to as the gun shop. I have known about this place for a very long time, when I first started going there they had two section, the ladies: where you could buy great cooking wear and utensils and all kinds of cool cooking tools from Italy, and for the gents: guns and knives. The great thing is that while this place has grown both in items and floor plans and... plus

After you get past the shock of seeing rifles selling alongside juicers, this store is a treasure trove for kitchen gadget junkies looking for reasonably priced quality goods. I splurged on Peugot (apparently they make more than just cars) salt and pepper grinders in a mustard colour that will be a great reminder of my trip to Montreal. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

I've always thought they should create a tv show inspired by this space and the stories that must circle through this tiny shop where they sell the highest quality goods for both hunting and cooking.

Guns, crockery, drill bits, and the kinds of customers who think hard about such things = narrative gold, no? A fixture in Montreal's Little Italy since 1956, Dante Hardware is a family operation... plus

Talk about a store with personality. This kitchen supply/hunting store is a Little Italy fixture and one of Montreal's greatest treasures. Elena Faita is local legend of the culinary scene and a force of nature--she runs the kitchen supply side of the operation as well as the affiliated École de Cuisine Mezza Luna (with her son, Stefano). Her husband runs the gunsmith/hunting supply side of the... plus
