We shopped there a couple times while visiting Montreal…read more It's a high-end supermarket chain similar to Whole Foods in the U.S. It's not inexpensive. Most of the products are organic, some vegan, and healthy foods that have minimal additives. For example, they don't carry carbonated soda. They have a Deli section, as you first walk in on the right, with some premade sandwiches, that look very good, a coffee bar, gelato. There's an indoor dining area and an outdoor dining area. They have vegetables, fruits, groceries, and some non-food items. Teas, some snacks, canned/bottled foods. The staff is bilingual; that comes in handy when you're French is on a junior high school level, and hasn't been used in decades. =)

This organic store reminds me of a smaller version of Whole Foods…read more Their Asian food aisle looks like an after thought. A couple of their gelato molds look nice to start. Didn't find any snacks or cold coffees that we were looking for

The ambience is non existent - no one will ever ask you if you need help (not in French, definitely not in English). Go to a different store, there are many more in the city and even on Wellington that have the same stock.

Wonderful ethnic food shop which specializes in Middle Eastern and Asian (Indian) foodstuffs…read more While it's not that Persian supermarket of greatness, Marche Akhavan, Branche d'Olivier nonetheless has an excellent selection and seems to touch on a little bit of everything from around the world. I've seen Indian curry pastes, chutneys and basmati rice, Mexican mole sauces, Trinidadian scotch bonnet pepper sauces, various Asian cooking oils for stir fries, British brand teas, Turkish bulgar and lavas bread, you'd be very surprised what a slow stroll through the aisles here will get you.

With 10 grocery stores and over 80 Espace santé sections in IGA supermarkets throughout Quebec, the…read moreorganic store chain called Rachelle Béry is well known for its quality goods at competitive prices. They were known as the first natural products grocery store in Quebec over 35 years ago at the corner of Rachel and Berri Streets. Customers here love the organic, natural or local products free from chemical preservatives, additives, artificial flavors and colorings. I stopped in here to check out their produce and prepared foods...everything looked very fresh and very appealing. The prices area competitive in terms of organic stores is concerned, but definitely higher priced that a Provigo or IGA.

So I have to follow the keto diet now under doctor's orders,…read morewhich isn't a biggie since it's high on meat, lots of veggies, especially leafy green vegetables, full fat dairy (yay!) and some fruits. Meaning no more carbs, potatoes (and especially French fries which I love) bread, rice and sugar. I'm a big curry and stir-fry cooker at home so letting go of rice and noodles is hard for me. After doing a ton of research online, there are now keto-friendly breads sugar substitutes like munkfruit sugar and erythritol and rice and noodle substitutes like Shirataki Konjac rice or Konjac noodles, made from a Japanese tuber named Konjac which is very low in carbs. OK now I know what to get but where to get it without breaking the bank at specialty health food stores? I found a lot of keto dry ingredients at other places but keto bread and rice was still hard to find at an affordable rate. Well, I found the best prices for Konjac products here at Rachelle Bery. I also found frozen keto-friendly bread here which I haven't found anywhere else. I saw a lot of other specials here to like Veggie Stix snacks. Going keto doesn't have to mean going bankrupt but at least now, I know where I can find some options.

Marché Branche d'Olivier needs no introduction; with its multiple locatIons around the city, they…read morehave been supplying Montrealers with exotic spices and organic food for years now. This location is a bit more bare bones than the one in Saint-Henri (there's no cheese for example) but is still a good place to stop by if you're missing an ingredient for a particular dish. They don't sell fresh produce but carry frozen products such as tempeh, fruits, etc. You can fill your own containers with grains, beans and even dish soap. Unfortunately they package their spices in tiny plastic bags; I hope they will eventually transition into a full-on bulk store.
