Super convenient supermarket! They have everything you will need such as food, drinks, snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and souvenirs. Thank you for having such a wide selection of treats including plant based options and those with dietary restrictions! read more

IGA Louise Ménard - Grocery Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

TL;DR/The Short Version: Grocery store in Complexe Desjardins. Has a small Asian food section from Kim Phat Grocery. The Long Version: So I had heard that in 2018 Sobeys became a majority shareholder of the Asian grocery chain Kim Phat. Sobeys is the parent company of IGA. So I wasn't really surprised when I saw signage outside of this IGA that they have a small Kim Phat section in their store. I was curious to see what it looked like, so I had to go in to take a look. The section is small, but clearly labelled. Just look for the red lanterns hanging from the ceiling. They had a good selection of Asian snacks, but nothing too unique that I can't find back home in Ottawa, so I didn't buy anything. The rest of the grocery store is like other IGAs. This location is connected to the mall (Complexe Desjardins) but there's an entrance from the street as well. If you're looking for Asian items, you can find some here, but to be honest, this IGA is not far from Chinatown, so I would just go to Chinatown where there's more selection, but if for whatever reason you don't want to head down to Chinatown, this IGA will have some items.

A pain to get to the validated parking garage for this grocery store. This town clearly dislikes vehicles. Garage parking is off of Saint Urbain street. IGA is on the 2nd floor. I am beyond annoyed. They will not validate your parking for the garage unless you spend C$50. We only spent $22 and as such, they would absolutely not validate our parking at all. How ridiculous is that! Had we known that, we would've walked here instead of having a park and pay five or six C$. The validated parking is only if you spend C$50 at the store. Unreal, pathetic rule! It costs C$9 to park here for less than a half hour. Absolutely disgusted. read more

Physically assaulted after taking a photo with an apple i phone after being told i had no f**** receipt by the who manager refused to give me his name . Reported the incident to the owners son who said they had video to the effect that I was rude. They have no camera at the service counter and the slap to my face to hit the phone shows the assault .Did not contact the police as it is a waste of time for more important matters .If you like profanity and being assaulted this is the place to go to ! read more

They have Le Viateur bagels and souvenirs (maple based edible treats) way cheaper than tourist shops

Bought chicken breast four pack that said it was packaged the same day. Brought it home and opened it to be met with a strong smell of sulphur, was clearly spoiled. The romaine hearts I bought were also not fit to eat. Neither had an expiry date listed on the packaging. Will not be buying meat or produce here again. read more

I've never been a frequent IGA-goer since it was never the closest grocery to me but since I moved it's the closest grocery so I've been going and it has good deals from time to time and it has everything I need so no complaints. It does get quite crowded and I find they don't have enough cashiers for the rush hour periods but other than that, it's good! read more

We landed in Montreal at 9pm, our rented car service was closed, we took a taxi into town. You know who was there for us when we needed them the most? IGA was. They were open, and we were able to grab some food, snacks, beverages, for our walk to our Airbnb at 10pm. Every where else was closed, but IGA opened their doors for us. With that said, this grocery store is solid, has tons of selections, sells beer, very spacious and tons of ready to make food. I would've loved to take my time but I wanted to sit myself down on a couch and we rushed out of there. Nice place, great selection, stocked very well and decent selection for vegans if you're in a pinch read more

The best grocery store I've been to on all the years of coming to Montréal. It's got everything and located inside of a mall so you have access to SAQ (liquor store), cafes, and stores. There is a public parking garage as well so it's convenient. read more

Large grocery store with a variety of options ranging from foods to drinks. Prices are fair as well. Went in to just grab drinks and some snacks during my Montreal trip but ended up roaming the aisles just to see what baked goods and other items they carried. It was late on a Saturday evening, but increasing the number of cashiers would've been nice as the checkout line was a little insane. read more

Very helpful staff for finding their vegan section. They have an assortment of vegan options and organic goods too. It's a huge size and easy to get lost in be sure to ask for help if you do ! They have a great selection of produce and snacks also. I would highly recommend this shop as they have a variety of all different areas of food that you maybe looking for ! read more

When I want to get something from IGA, I generally go to the IGA located in Place Alexis Nihon even though this IGA is closer to where I work. My only "reason" for this is that I prefer the shops in Place Alexis Nihon than the shops in Complexe Desjardins. When I go to a supermarket during my lunch, I will generally get some fruit, some cut fruit, some cold pizza, or something else for my lunch as opposed to grabbing a bite to eat at one of the restaurants in the food court or at a sit down restaurant. I was in Complexe Desjardins to run an errand and I didn't feel like having anything in the mall's food court. I felt like having some cut fruit so stopped by this IGA store. It is a bit hard to find in the mall but with the exception of the Caisse Desjardins and the Revenue Quebec office, I can say the same thing about almost everything in this mall. This is one of the reasons why I prefer going to Place Alexis Nihon as opposed to Complexe Desjardins. When I entered this IGA, I noticed that the cut fruit was on the side so I grabbed a container of cut cantaloupe and saw that this IGA (unlike the one in Place Alexis Nihon) has self check-out machines so decided to pay at one of these machines. I will generally opt to use a self check-out machine since generally the line to use a self check-out machine is shorter than a line where there is a cashier and I generally pay by debit/credit card. I scanned my item and my AirMiles card and paid with my credit card. It was all pretty straight forward and fast. Grabbed a plastic fork on my way out (which was readily available in a container) near the self-check-out machines and then made my way to the food court to have my cut cantaloupe pieces. Can't comment about the staff working here or how well stocked or not well stocked this IGA is since my visit was very short (in, get cut fruit, use self check-out, and out). Entire event inside this IGA for this trip during my lunch person took under 5 minutes. read more

This LGA marché (supermarket) is one of many locations in the Montreal metro area. They carry all kinds of goods from milk, juices, fruits, meats, vegetables, and prepared food. It is located on one of the main streets on Boulevard René-Lévesque O inside the Complexe Desjardins mall. The marché is also very close to Chinatown. If you are planning to be in the area, go to Chinatown first and have a meal. Then come to LGA and purchase SNACK food! This location is convenient especially for the tourists that may stay across the street at the Marriott or other hotels in the area. read more

Lots of choices and they had a hard-to-find item that I was looking for. The store is huge so you do have to wander around a little to see/find things. read more

I was in thisthis store again because I had to get cold cuts. No place else to get them around there. But I won't be returning. I wanted to get a take out meal and asked the clerk at the counter. She started trudging to the scale then asked me something in French. She refused to speak En. So I asked the other clerk and she refused to speak English too. I got a package of cold cuts paid and left. I saw the twerp manager running around. Horrible store. Sick mean staff. They're hopeless. Typo She refused to speak English. Big chips on their shoulders. If you react and get upset they love it. read more

Pretty cool to have a supermarket inside the mall. I came here specifically for IOGO's kefir, It's like drinking greek yogurt but without the sourness. This market is well stocked with a bakery. Credit card accepted. read more

Nice, big grocery store near Rene Levesque and the Complex Desjardin. It's great for people who live or are staying near Chinatown, Old Montreal, Quartier des Spectacles, St Catherine or Rene Levesque areas. The store has a great selection of prepared foods as well as basic grocery departments. Prices are average, not a discount store, but very well stocked. read more

Connects to a beautiful mall right in the center of the Montreal Jazz Festival and the lower level of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. I was impressed with this supermarket for two reasons. First, I finally found a cheese brand sold here that my family asked me to bring back to the U.S. and second, their bakery section looked so delectable! Clean, spacious, friendly staff and so French. It was opened late, as was the main mall (not stores though). Many choices of wines, cheeses and anything French Canadian. Also sells the usually grocery staples found in the U.S. Funny how it had a NYC subway style gate at the outside entrance into the store and a turnstyle when leaving the store. Kinda fun shopping here; feel like such a tourist! The Canadians are so welcoming and don't frown upon outsiders! A good location for those that want to shop period. read more

Unpleasant shopping experience that we had today. After doing our grocery shopping, we went up to their service desk and asked if we could staple the baguette bag to prevent the baguette from falling out. The assistant supervisor at the store just refused without providing any reason. As a customer, we believe we shouldn't deserve this type of service. We hope that his attitude does not reflect the values of IGA. read more

IGA Louise Ménard - Grocery Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Overall this place is awesome. Was close to my hotel so came here for much needed stuff. Staff very friendly and helpful and will go out of their way to check and provide exceptional service. Lots of food choices and variety....wide selection for take out lunch..even had smoked schwartz meat. Only negative thing is...being an IGA prices were higher than a regular marche... But.its location is superb..as it is right dt montrel and inside a mall too close to a metro. read more

This location of IGA is conveniently located within the Complexe Desjardins, unfortunately on the weekend the only open entrance is inconveniently located within the mall. This wouldn't be so bad if they would label the doors better. Nice thing is they're open later than the rest of the mall. SAQ included. So unfortunately if you're looking at stocking up on alcohol in the evening on a weekend, you're stuck shopping here. Surprisingly not bad for their mini SAQ in store carries a decent amount of beer and wine. Any other liquor and you're out of luck though. Staff was friendly with trying to assist however. The produce here is relatively fresh, which was surprising and this location is a pretty large store with aisles and aisles of everything else you need. read more

This grocery store was conveniently located close to our hotel in Montreal. They are also connected to the Underground City. The store was neat and tidy. Product prices were reasonable. Wide selection of products. Was bothered that the security guard kept following me. I must have looked suspicious. Anyways he stopped following me after I went up to him and said hello. I would shop here again if we were staying in the area. Otherwise, I would not be a regular here. read more

Grocery store located in the basement of Complexe Desjardins right beside Laura Secord and across from The Source. There's quite a selection and variety of fresh fruits and vegetables - organic and non-organic. The bakery here is much larger than most others I've seen with a wide selection of fresh bread and cakes. They carry a good selection of meats (far more than the Provigo down the street), a small to-go counter, and a good stock of dry and canned goods. There's also a very small section near the back of the store for alcoholic beverages. Generally a very clean and well-kept store with excellent employees that are mostly very polite and helpful. On the weekend, they usually give out samples - tartar, cheese, etc. Prices are average, maybe slightly on the higher end, but the quality of their produce is also top notch. read more

IGA Louise Ménard - inside, back entrance - Grocery Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I visited this store several times during my visit to Montreal because it was located in the same building as our hotel, Gouveneur Dupuis. This grocery store really impressed me with its selection and cleanliness. Last time I was in Montreal I frequented the Provigo near the intersection of Ave du Parc and Sherbrooke, and this IGA store is so, so much better. The store is very clean and new and the selection is far better. The cheese selection in particular is very worthy of five stars. They also had an extensive selection of baked goods and a small selection of wine and beer, including my personal favorite, wine in little juice box like containers. I was also really impressed by their selection of soaps, which included soaps from Provence we spotted in the Jean Talon Farmer's market for 3-4 times the price they were selling for at this IGA. I picked up a bunch of those. I look forward to returning here on my next trip to Montreal. However, my only complaint is that this place closes a bit early, around 8 or 9 I think. It would be nice if it was open later. read more

This IGA is conveniently attached to Complex Desjardins, and is just across the street from Chinatown. The layout of the aisles is not very intuitive. Things are not where I would expect them to be, and the layout of the store is kind of frustrating in my opinion. They have a decent natural products section, and some nice seasonal treats. Good to get things you need in a pinch, but they have a pretty limited selection. If you're looking for a particular variety/size/brand/flavor of something you'll probably have to look elsewhere. read more

Large, full-service grocery store in Complexe Desjardins. Cheese counter, deli, seafood, bakery and even a relatively large health food section with gluten-free options. Expensive, but this is to be expected considering the location. Lines can be long at peak times. read more

Parking is a bit difficult , but it's a lovely store, with a great selection and terrific specials and prices. It has been our primary grocery store for years. However, it's come to my attention from current and former employees (and Mme Menard herself) that Mme. Menard does not tolerate any language aside from French to be spoken within her stores, *even in the employee break rooms*. This childish and xenophobic behaviour is not of our time. We will simply take our ~$10,000 / year in grocery purchases elsewhere. Love it when you can protest this type of ignorance so effortlessly and effectively. read more

So, this is your standard grocery store, with a phenomenal bakery, decent prices, and a particularly convenient location in the Complexe Desjardins, just down from the Hyatt Regency. My problem with this location is its incredibly limited hours of operation. It seems to close obscenely early (8:00 p.m. on weekdays), even on weekends (9:00 p.m.), which is incredibly frustrating, particularly when one is in town on business and just needs to pick up a few things. I couldn't find the hours posted on the store door like they are in the US, and there were no hours posted on Yelp (I've just confirmed the hours on IGA.net and posted them here). If this place had longer hours, I would easily rate it four stars. At the aforementioned bakery, the crêpes are pretty fantastic. You can order them fresh or in a to-go cup, with custard and cream, and they are still fresh and delicious. I also tried some caramel-chocolate pastry confection that was pretty extraordinary. They have a decent produce selection, although I did see several overripe avocados and bananas (completely with fruit flies). A minor complaint, since this seems to happen everywhere. I was not impressed with their microbrew beer selection, particularly since on my last visit to Montréal, I distinctly recall waltzing into gas stations and delis and coming out with Unibroue bombers but, alas, there were no Unibroue beers here! There was plenty of Le Cheval Blanc beers, of which I sampled Loch Ness, Coup de Grisou, Rousse, among a few others, and did not particularly care for any of them. (What's a girl gotta do to get an IPA up in here??) All told, yes, super convenient location, and a very clean store with lots of selections and reasonable prices, but incredibly inconvenient hours, and sub-par beer choices. read more

Groceries in the downtown core When I am in Complexe Desjardins, I always stick my head in here. It offers Air Miles and a lot of the usual things the rest of the chain does. For an IGA, it's a little on the small side. But there is one feature here I haven't seen anywhere else. The cheese counter is HUGE. Two full refrigerated shelves of the fancy stuff, in addition to the mass-market cheeses elsewhere. But if you're all by yourself, take a look for the remnant basket. There are bits and pieces of wedges left over from making trays. You can get two or three small chunks and make a fancy cheese tray for one, for about $5. Your inner mouse will thank you. read more

As a US person, I tend to associate IGA with food stamps and grime (I know, not fair, but I do) and this IGA dispelled my preconceptions. It's clean and well stocked and has a great selection of convenience foods. I'd rented a small apartment with a kitchen and relied on this IGA for all my food needs. The staff were very helpful and patient with my limited French. read more

Avoid this store at all cost. They employ security guards who will automatically presume you are thieves if they do not like your looks or your behaviour. I had one who stalked me, then the following week I returned to buy from this store again, I was confronted by a very nasty guard who started to yell at me "I know you are stealing from the store, I have my eyes on you" and proceeded to openly stalk and harass me, without any proof I have stolen anything. I have raised this issue to the store manager at front counter, and he asked me to leave the store instead, instead of firing the nasty guard. I will never ever come back again, there are much better stores out there who treat their customers right. read more

Prices are a bit steep, but if you look hard enough,some deals can be had. There aren't too many grocery stores right in the heart of downtown and the fact this place is always busy is a testament to the need for more markets here. The selection is pretty good and the various counters caters to single people and tourists, as well as workers on their breaks. It does it's job pretty well. 2 hour of free parking with $35 purchase and they are right in the mall, so a good option to eat here than at the food court. read more

Conveniently located in a touristic area this store offers a large variety of food and drinks (alcohol including). I shop here every time I stay in Montreal to get some sparkling water, snacks and food (when I don't feel like eating out). read more

Great grocery store - well-stocked and easy to find things. Visited several times while staying in a local apartment and was able to find everything I needed for cooking - whether from scratch or a quick microwave meal. Nice stock of toiletries and kitchen cleaning stuff too. read more

This is a very nice grocery with good selections of most staples and fresh foods. Its location is incredibly convenient, in Complexe Desjardins mall across from Chinatown. It was a lifeline for my wife and I while vacationing in Montreal. She loved Chinatown, and it was within walking distance of our hotel, so we came there every day of the stay. For late night snacks and drinks we stopped in here, and found everything we wanted. Like most businesses in Montreal we were able to transact our purchases despite our minimal French. Thanks loads IGA! read more

This is my second day working here at IGA Place Dupuis and I gotta admit that this is an excellent workplace. I Would give it 5 stars without hesitation as I'm very satisfied on how things are going, but I think it is too soon to make any conclusions. Great staff, great customers and a great job, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality part-time job. read more

I'm a fatty obsessed with food. And as a fattie who is obsessed with food I like to waddle around in grocery stores looking at various foods and fantasizing about eating them. As a fattie tourist I find it especially fascinating to peruse through the grocery aisle of another culture's market. Call me a foodie anthropologist. This supermarket is located in the basement level of the Complexe Desjardin mall. It is very clean and the workers were friendly. It is a great place to pick up souvenirs for your trip. They have maple syrup in decorative bottles and cans, and various maple syrup themed treats, cookies, etc. at a more reasonable price compared to the inflated prices you would have to pay at souvenir shops. You would be please to find Dieu du Ciel!, Cheval Blanc as well as other beers unique to Quebec. It's a convenient location to pick up basic items you may need. It's open til 9pm every night. Bring reusable bags in case you want to stock up on souvenirs/beeers/basic groceries to make it easier to carry around. read more

Eek! Methinks not! I bought suppose to be fresh tortelleni and after arriving home realize after opening the package that some were covered with green mold. I check the date, everything was fine so I don't understand why it's rotten... So we go back to the store to get fresh one but also it's our duty to tell the store to check the other tortelleni as well. I was so shock that the three people who help us at front really didn't care about the situation. It's rotten food! Somebody could get really sick I mean come on! No apologizing, they make us pay for our tortelleni? And the worst was they never go check if the other product was ok? Seriously? I'm never going back again. They prove me that not only the food is not fresh but also that they don't correct the situation and really don't give a shit if you are sick or if they sell you rotten food. Gross. read more
