I am used to the one in Anjou which is a bit bigger but has the same concept. This is a restaurant supply/grocery store that is open to the public, similarly to Costco, but no membership required. Come here to buy speciality foods in bulk packages along with numerous cooking accesories. If you've ever dreamed of having your own meat grinder, deli slicer, or the biggest mixing bowls, cutting boards and tools just like you would find in a professional kitchen, then Mayrand will deliver a fun experience. There is a much bigger selection of produce compared to Costco, however the prices tend to be on the higher side. Look out for specials and in-house products, such as meat and seafood. I highly recommend the fresh sausages for example, they come in a variety of flavors not just your plain "Italian" or "Honey Garlic". SO delicious and perfect for the BBQ. Also love the cheese selection, there are so many varieties, just like at a specialty fromagerie. The frozen food selection is probably the most disappointing part of the store- There really isn't much and all the boxes are plain, lacking signage and visuals so it's hard to sort through. I was looking for a big amount of frozen beef burger patties and didn't see any. Note this store has a small cafe/counter where you can order prepared lunches and sandwiches, which is a neat concept if you want to eat on the spot, or while you're shopping in the mall. As with all things new, everything looks nice and modern - suprisingly on opening day and with the COVID situation, the lines were short and all the staff was efficient.

As a matter of fact, some of the snacks we picked up from here cost twice as much at a shop in Little Italy... Great porchetta as well... Less than $C 20 for 1 kilo!!! Very friendly and accomodating staff... We asked for one of the salumi to be vacumn seal and she did it for us. Just great.

Of all the specialty stores around the fruit and vegetabley glory that is Jean Talon Market,…read moreCapitol is maybe the very best in terms of overall usefulness in preparing a snazzy meal. There are some incredible marinated and prepared meats which are perfect for the bbq: massive beef ribs, pre-cooked short ribs, filet mignon brochettes, souvlaki chicken, spicy California burgers. Yum, etc. Come early, the bbq stuff sells out. There is also a great cheese and deli counter where the homemade bacon is tasty and the handmade signs to let you know about cheeses that are recently award-winning are both helpful and endearing. On the weekend there are a few small tables with umbrellas where you can sit, eat and people watch, but you're next to a (great) fish shop, so it's not romantic or anything. The staff are low key, helpful, and seem to speak at least three languages at any given time (English, French, Italian.) There is a freezer section in the back full of homemade pastas stuffed with things like panchetta and portobello mushrooms and cheap yummy homemade pizza dough. Some things are eyebrow-raisingly expensive: the multi-coloured olives and the wild mushrooms are in this category, so are some of the kooky fine vinegars, oils, teas and chocolates, and the rarer cuts of meat. This is to be expected I guess but as a local I appreciate that you can also always get fresh quality basics like eggs, milk and sour cream here. I also like that they recently expanded the prepared foods section by the cash to include pulled pork sandwiches. And I'll leave you with this final thought: hooray for pulled pork sandwiches.

There is plenty of staff working so if you have a question or need recommendation for a product, it's fairly easy to get assisted. Another nice touch is they have baggers that can help you bring your bags to your vehicle once you are finished shopping. They also have a full bakery attached to them and a good enough selection of wines offered.

The meat texture and taste is amazingly good. With such a great choice of meat, it took me longer to make my selection and was served by a pleasant young lady who would not pressure nor push you to buy. With such excellent service, fresh meat well priced, Terrine et Pâtés is now on my list of favourite terrine place in Montreal.

Here's a little context: I used to go to the Maxi for my…read morenon perishables and the Farmer's Market for my produce. However, the farmer's market closed for the winter. It seemed impossible to find good produce at a decent price in CDN, but then my trusty yelp app came in handy and found this place for me. Wow wow wow! It's so cheap! The veggies are always fresh and super cheap. (Big bag of spinach for 2,99$?!) they have produce that's already sorted out for you (ex. Melons that are halved and skinned). Their bakery breads were a little hard the times I went, so I've never bought some, but maybe I'm just uptight about bread, because a lot of people were buying it. They have a small section of processed meat/cheese. Prices are acceptable. The place is rather small, but they carry a lot of products. The staff is super friendly and checkout is always quick. It's also right by a bus stop and the metro! The only thing I'd like is if there were a wider selection of veggies, but given the limited amount of space they have, I understand that they can't have everything. All the basics are there though. If you live in the area and appreciate cheap/fresh produce, go go go!

If you happen to have some free time I totally recommend going to this grocery store it's wonderful and super authentic! You can't find any other place like it ! and you'll love the food products. To my surprise its so affordable, you get value for your money and the staff here are very sweet and care Definitely recommend this shop 100%

I have been obliged to use Marcello's at Place Bonaventure for years, but NO MORE!!!…read more They are extremely over priced and you can get a better, fresher and less expensive at Presse Cafe just a few steps away. The food is calculated by the weight, so before you know it you will be paying 10$ for nearly nothing in your styrofoam container. Everyone knows that styrofoam is a NO-NO!!! To top things off on Friday, 16th of March, I got food poisoning. As I was in a hurry, I grabbed one of their pre-prepared wraps in the refrigerated area. It was supposed to be roast beef, cheese, salad, tomato and mustard in a wrap. It was not a wrap; it was a pita bread so you would feel more filled up, the date said that it had been packaged that day, but I can assure you that the roast beef or something else was not fresh. I have never been so ill in my life and I have travelled far and wide and even drink water in South America without getting ill. This place is definitely not only a rip-off, but the quality can be day or days old fare being sold off as fresh of the day food.

Location: Well hidden in Place Bonaventure. So well hidden that I can't even give you instructions…read moreon how to find the place. My friend took me and she was quite pleased with herself for introducing me to a spot I'd never been to before! The place: To me, it's part grocery store/convenience store/take-out place. You can't sit down here if you buy food - it's strictly to go. Just FYI. Great place to get your afternoon snacks, though! The goods: Besides the standard drinks and snack food, you'll find two buffet-style stations where you can pick and choose what you'd like to eat. One station is salads while the other is hot stuff. A word of caution - price is determined by weight. I'd say that much of the fare is Middle Eastern-style cuisine but this may depend on the day - I'm not sure. When I went, I was starving so I tried a little of everything, including meatballs (yeah I know - my mostly vegetarian self having so much meat lately, is getting out of hand!), chicken, roasted zucchini, pasta salad, rice - I'm sure I must be forgetting something because my container must have weighed five pounds. Besides the spinach rice leaving me underwhelmed, I loved every single thing I tried. Those meatballs were AMAZING and bursting with flavor. You have to try them. The chicken was equally delicious and tender - cooked to perfection. Honestly, I could give you an itemized breakdown but it would be redundant since everything was great. Definitely a great place to grab lunch if you were in Bonaventure or the surrounding area. Just figure out how to get there and you're set (=-D Service: The clerks at the cash were friendly. Price point: This is where it gets tricky.... While I did try a little of everything, I'm not sure it was worth $18 ($21 with a drink). It was a little steep, in my opinion - I mean, you're serving yourself after all. In any case, since it does go by weight, prices will vary. To be fair, I did get some heavy items (but those meatballs, though!). This is definitely a place worth checking out - the quality and freshness of the food alone, is worth the detour
