Montreal, I need your help! The best place to develop our photos

We are going to be in Montreal for two weeks in April and would like to find the best possible place where I can develope my films. We will be taking many pictures and would like to see them sooner than after getting home. Is there a place like that in Montreal that you wouldn't hesitate to recommend? Thank you for your help

Look for a sign in the window that advertises one-hour photo development.

I hoped that someone who uses these services in Montreal would give recommendations. Not every one-hour photo operations are the same. Some of them do a great job and some of them less than acceptable. I am looking for the best available service.
Anyone?

I used to live in Montreal, and never found a place I thought was always excellent.

We usually ended up at Costco, where the price was low and the prints were 5x7 and the quality was always at least OK.

Or I gave my film to the art director / graphic designer at a big company, and she sent it to a profssional lab, the name of which I never knew, although I believe it had high prices.

Working from vague memory, and assuming you are walking around a bit,though ...

There's a professional camera store on the south east corner of, I believe, St. Jacques, on the way from downtown (The Queen Elizabeth,the Bonaventure, etc.) toward Old Montreal, and I believe it has one hour processing.

Or, there's a tiny camera store with lots of different pro-level films for sale, on the west side of some north-south street running south from St. Catherine and, I believe, on the west side of Domminion Square, with a one hour lab I used on several occasions, with no problems.

I'll see if the people on the Compuserve pro photographers forum have any idea, and I'll report back.
