The answer is simple. For affordable, quality eyeglasses, there’s Bonhomme à lunettes! Since 2007, our community-based eyewear store has been on a mission to make eyeglasses affordable for everyone. What that means is: our prices are very affordable and we welcome EVERYONE who wears glasses, without exception. The only thing you need is your prescription (and certain documents if you plan to use a government program). In addition to low prices (like our frames at $79 for example), we also aim to provide a local service, which is why we have more than 25 service points, including one that's (probably) near you.
Les Portes Orange in the Mile End
This is our main office, open Monday through Friday, with extended hours on Wednesday and Thursday evenings to offer even more appointment options. For those who want the widest possible selection of frames. We’re located at 160 Saint-Viateur Est, halfway between the Rosemont and Laurier stations. We operate by appointment only, so don’t forget to call us at 514-303-4315 before stopping by.
In the East of Montreal
From Pointe-aux-Trembles to the Plateau Mont-Royal, residents of the Eastern part of Montréal can count on numerous service locations. There’s Anjou, Montréal-Nord, and of course Saint-Léonard (twice). Further south, there’s Rosemont, Saint-Michel, and Villeray. Residents of Hochelaga have two service locations, including one 100 meters from the Frontenac metro station (Jean-Claude Malépart) and the other one is open all day on Tuesday (Chic Resto Pop).
Downtown Montreal and The Surrounding Area
In addition to our main location in Mile-End, there are also several options along the central corridor. In Centre-Sud, for example, you can come meet us at Centre communautaire de loisirs Sainte-Catherine d’Alexandrie just a stone's throw from the Beaudry metro station. As soon as you step out of the Mont-Royal station, you can also shop for glasses while enjoying a delicious, affordable meal thanks to Resto Plateau.
On the Western part of Montréal
There are no fewer than 10 points de service which are available to eyeglass wearers living West of Saint-Laurent. Côte-des-Neiges, NDG, Ville Émard, and Verdun are among our network of service locations, as are LaSalle and Lachine. We also stop at the Cloverdale multiressources in Pierrefonds and at Friperie Cartie-Émilie for a glasses and thrifting combo
We’re even going to “cheat” a little by adding our service location in Vaudreuil-Dorion. Technically, it’s not on the island, but for people in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and Île Perot who want to save money, the trip is definitely worth it.
More than 80 Service Locations For Affordable Eyeglasses
We also have a presence on both shores, including the South Shore and Laval as well as through the Laurentians. Metro and REM users of Zone B can also buy affordable eyewear just outside Montreal. In all, there are more than 80 service locations scattered throughout southern Quebec, from Gatineau to Trois-Rivières.
In addition to saving money on an essential purchase, you’re helping to support community organizations in Montreal and the surrounding area. Nearly two million dollars have been donated to our partners since our founding in 2007. It is also important to note that, despite inflation, our prices have remained virtually unchanged over the past 20 years.
No matter where you are on the Island of Montreal, there’s a simple and convenient way to save money on your next pair of glasses. Because seeing clearly isn’t a luxury!
