    A few mangoes a day keeps the proctologist away…read more This is the story of Rocky Montana, this whole town's a mango just waiting to get licked. Rocky Montana is the fresh produce empire in NDG. You won't find better quality or more reasonable prices anywhere else. This shop caters to the sophisticated and cosmopolitan tastes of the citizens of this borough, bringing popular staples from all over the world to the folks of the good hood. Yes, you'll find fresh mangoes from Mexico, mangoes from Haiti, and mangoes from elsewhere. This is where I come to satisfy my need for mangoes. The mangoes roll in with the season; when mango season ends in one country, it begins in another county, so you'll have a never ending supply of beautiful mangoes to eat almost year round. I eat mangoes for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, and midnight snack. I'll prepare a nice mango salad the night before to eat for breakfast; cubes of mangoes, bananas, perhaps even some halved grapes or apples, tossed in their own juices along with some freshly juiced lemon or lime (don't forget to include some pulp) then add some freshly ground black pepper and pink Himalayan salt and some chilli powder to taste. I also put fresh mango in my homemade Guyanese scotch bonnet pepper sauce which adds a pleasant sweetness to that absolute fire sauce. You can also make a nice mango lassi with some cardamom and vegan yoghourt. For whatever the occasion, Rocky Montana, has a mango for you. Come say hello to my little friend ... the mango. By the way, pro-tip here, did you know that if you eat mango before you consume cannabis that the effects will be stronger?!? Indeed, the delicious myrcene molecules found in mango can increase, strengthen and even lengthen the euphoric feeling from cannabis which already contains hundreds of different terpene molecules that are responsible for affecting THC in the brain. Cannabis contains the myrcene terpene more than any other kind. Therefore, when one consumes a myrcene-rich mango, you can get extra high as fuck. Myrcene is responsible for the scent of apricots, walnuts and Valencia oranges and is widely used in the perfume industry. It gets its name from the plant mercia and is also found in lemon grass, verbena, hops and the West Indian bay tree used to make bay rum. Its aroma is much like cannabis as it can be woodsy, citrusy and fruity. One of its lesser-known qualities is that the myrcene allows THC to pass through the blood-brain-barrier much faster. On average, it takes THC seven seconds to reach the brain after inhaling. But if you eat a mango, or drink a mango lassi 30 to 90 minutes before, you could potentially halve that time. Before you pop a giant mango in your mouth, you'll still want to adjust the timing because a slower metabolism can take longer to digest the mango, affecting how long it'll take to feel any additional effects to your high. Eating the mango will naturally boost the levels of terpenes and boost the high, but there's another benefit to mangoes. Not only are they high in myrcene terpene, they also are high in vitamin C and vitamin A and high in dietary fiber which is a great way to counter the junk food munchies. Rocky Montana also has amazing avocados. These avocados come in fresh every week and are ready and willing to satiate. I love having two avocados on toast for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This place keeps me filled to the brim with avo-toast. I take a perfectly ripe avocado, scoop all that goodness out with a spoon onto a piece of rye toast. Add some salt and pepper and granulated garlic, then mix well. Now you can top one avo toast with nutritional yeast and alfalfa sprouts and top the other one with some dukkah. Or you can top one with fermented carrots and radish and the other with kimchi. You can top one with pepper sauce and eat the other plain. Do whatever you want. It's an avocado, so there's not even a chance that you won't love it. Rocky Montana has lots of other produce used in Caribbean, West African, Indian, and South and Central American cuisine. They've got beautiful cassavas and eddoes, scrumptious plantains, and delectable calabash pumpkin and other squash. They've got okra, cabbage, collard greens, bora, bitter melon, and much much more.

    **Update August 2026** It's been a few years since I've…read morereviewed this bougie food store, and my mother and I have now been here at least 15 times, usually to get a quiche. I must say, their selection of quiches is wonderful, and they are all amazingly good. We usually also find niche foods, and I always get a gourmet fine chocolate bar for my neighbors back home in Vancouver, too (my neighbors are chocolate connoisseurs of sorts, so it's not as if I can get them an Oh Henry bar lol). In the past, I've also gotten many a bottle of Gibby's salad dressing here. (I love how this store sells condiments from local well-known restaurants, like Gibby's, Joe Beef, Mandy's, etc. It's a great place to get food gifts from Montreal). Yesterday I was in the area and popped in to get a few bottles of said salad dressing but I couldn't find it anywhere. I asked a lady who was working there, in the aisles, where this item was located, and she looked at me as if I was from Mars, asking me in French if I spoke French. She clearly did not speak or understand English and my French is sorely lacking. I was able to convey "salad" and "Gibby's",but I don't know how to say "salad dressing". She totally shrugged me off and went back to her work, as if I was a bothersome but ignorable annoyance. I have to admit, this rubbed me the wrong way. I've lived in the USA and in Vancouver now for so many years, I'm sorry if my French isn't great, but I'm trying. If I'm a paying customer at a store and I'm trying, but you don't understand me, it'd be common courtesy - not to mention good business sense - for you to get a fellow employee who DOES understand English. This interaction reminded me of past experiences here when the cashier was aloof (at best). Maybe the employees are like this with ALL English-speaking customers? I don't know. For me, though, I see a pattern. If you are visiting from out of town, and/or if you don't speak French well, I think I'd advise you to skip this store, despite the wonderful gourmet foods they have here. You sure won't get a feel for warm "Montreal hospitality" here, that's for sure. Oh, and they no longer carry Gibby's salad dressings, too - at least, I don't think they do.

    High quality everything! You must respect their choices of produce, meat, prepared dishes,…read morecheeses, accompaniments and good advice! Try it for yourself! Kathryn
