I'm always up for a new Tea Shop location and if you happen to be in Québec, then definitely stop…read morein at La Route des Indes. Located in the Marché du Vieux-Port, this is an excellent destination not just for tea lovers but for spice folks too. I was staring at this place up and down from the outside. And once you're inside it was hard to take it all in. Place is jam-packed with a gazillion cabinets and Tins full of Teas and Spices. Plus you can get other non-perishables. So here's the thing- La Route isn't a Café. But it is a cozy and funky shop holding a humongous selection of Teas- practically in every flavor. Heads up people, aisles are narrow. They're so narrow, two people walking opposite each other have to just keep it moving sideways. Brought back home a Chocolate Chai Tea selection as well as regular Chai in loose tea form. Plus grabbed Cayenne, Garam Masala and Coriander powder for my fave Lasooni Gobi recipe to make at home. Definitely make a stop here if this is up your alley. And have to also say, La Route is the most enticing tea and spice shop I've seen so far.

I happened upon this awesome epicerie when I was going for a walk after dinner on Maguire st. Entering the establishment they had a sign "Depuis 1947". What amazes me is that a place such as this can still function and make do in our 2015 life of 5-7 major grocery chains controlling the Canadian grocery landscape. Looking at their offering you can get your basic needs here for living. They even have some finer food items and biological and organic but they have all of what you need: produce, bread, meat, dairy, spices, and canned and packaged goods. I had purchased some Crofters organic jams for my wife who enjoys these small gifts when I travel. Also I purchased a nice Himalayan pink salt grinder $5.99 and a matching multicoloured peppercorn grinder $12.99. Great specialty items that will be nice on our dinner table. If Sillery was my neighbourhood (with by the looks of it I could live here) I'd shop here weekly as these places with the high quality food at decent prices are quite hard to come by. Really these corner small grocery stores a dying breed but a wonderful surprise to find one a nice early spring evening! Amazing it has served the neighbourhood for almost 70 years!

Yes, indeed, this store is our pride and joy, a small treasure in the heart of Sillery, a rare…read morepearl in the ocean of large chain grocery stores in town. We live in Sillery and go to Roset every Saturday to buy some good products at excellent prices: cheeses, artisanal yogurts, milk, fruits and berries/tomatoes from Demers farm. We love our Roset and have been loyal customers for over 16 years since we moved to Sillery. The personnel deserves a special warm mention: people working there seem to be content and happy with what they do for living. The cashiers are younger girls but even they work at Roset for years and years in a row. The gentlemen in the meat and charcuterie section are all sweet hearts: knowledgeable, kind and eager to assist the customers. It is nice to come to the store, where everyone recognizes you (and even knows your name). The store personnel is very friendly to everyone. French is not my native tongue, but rather my third language and, to my shame, I speak it with an accent and occasional mistakes. But the personnel is nevertheless always patient with and attentive to my questions. I do not know who the owner of the store is but he or she is a wonderful human being and employer, I am sure! Would like to meet them one day! My warm regards to everyone working at this store and best wishes for many more years of staying open to the delight of the shoppers.
