Bouche Bée

Since opening in 2018 on Ontario Street East, Bouche Bée has become a go-to spot in Hochelaga for those who appreciate thoughtful design without the clutter. Founded by Marie Letard—a third-generation shopkeeper who grew up playing “store” in her family’s hardware-turned-decor boutique—the shop reflects a warm, slow-living philosophy rooted in practicality and style. The shelves mix Quebec-made pieces with select imported goods, all chosen for their lasting materials, everyday usefulness, and clean, timeless look. The all-women team of five brings a sharp eye and genuine care to the experience, making the boutique feel as inviting as it is curated. In a time when independent retail is constantly being written off, Bouche Bée makes a strong case for why it still matters.
