They carry the St-Albert's line of cheeses, including fresh curds, bars of their mild to extra old cheddars and smoked gouda. I'm glad to find St-Albert's here without having to go to Ontario anymore, but was hoping to find a better selection of Quebec curd cheese as well. Fromagerie Mirabel has less selection compared to other specialty cheese stores I've found in the Montreal area, such as "Fromagerie des nations". To be honest, even some of the nicer IGA or Provigo supermarkets carry a wider selection of cheeses. Go if you want fresh St-Albert's cheese, otherwise this shop might be disappointing, especially if you drove out of the way to visit.

I absolutely love cheese and fresh curds are my favorite. I'm so happy I discovered this chain as…read morethey are slowly expanding across Quebec. The concept is a mix of a Quebec casse-croute (fast food joint), cheese market and dairy bar in one. This St-Jerome location is relatively new, it's beautiful and spacious with a lot of seating options both inside and out. The restaurant features large garage style doors that open up fully to let in a lot of air, making it feel like you're sitting on a terrace. The menu has all kinds of poutines, paninis, burgers, spaghetti and pizza. They also sell fried curds, hot dogs, pogos and salads. They even serve breakfast and have an express, discounted lunch menu. Of course you'll find their classic cheese curds, and other types of cheeses. Although they are not made on site, they are delivered fresh everyday from Victoriaville. Food is ordered at a counter, cantine style, and depending on how busy it is, they can make you wait at your table and call your name once it's ready. I opted for a baby sized classic poutine and the "Inter Victoria" burger which has onion rings, bacon and cheese curds as special toppings. I love that they display all their containers so you can get an idea of the different sizes (baby to family sized formats!) and there is a filtered water fountain to refill your cups. The ice cream bar has your classic cones, sundaes, banana splits, milkshakes, frosties (mix of ice cream and slush) as well as dips you can add on your cone. I opted for their "Vic mixte" which is their equivalent of a Dairy Queen Blizzard or the Mcdonald's Mcflurry. I got the strawberry cheesecake filling and it was truly delicious. The only complaint was how small the cups were compared to an actual Blizzard. All in all, the food was delicious, the cheese is delicious and the ice cream is made of real, fresh cream- not your DQ or ice milk type so it's truly decadent. Plus they even have a drive thru so you can easily order to go!! Must visit, especially as a family, everything is simple and fresh, a real crowd pleaser.

Oh I loved Le Vieille Europe when I was living in Montreal. Unfortunately, I was a poor and…read morestarving student at the time and so I wasn't able to shop there as much as I wanted to, lol. I would occasionally go there for their imported cookies (oh how I adored Anna's Almond Swedish Thins, lol) and exotic teas. And also for their cheeses and deli meats. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I love the smell of coffee and they have a good selection of coffee beans and a huge coffee grinder. The store has a very European feel to it, and very high prices. However, they carry products that are difficult to find elsewhere. Every time I go back to Montreal I like to pop in and poke around ;) My last visit was shortly before the Pandemic started. Looking forward to going back once this Pandemic is over.

Okay. When it comes to cities with great culinary traditions, somewhere in the back there…read morenaturally lies a bunch of places to promote, vend and educate on cuisine. Take New York for instance - if you want to know what we eat and how we came to eat them, you hit our bunch of ethnic markets and grab some finger foods. Wanna know how the Greek do their stuff? Hit Titan or Parrot Foods. Syrian? Sahadi or Souk el Shater. Chinese? Flushing. Korean? Same. Jewish style? Barney Greengrass and Avenue J in Brooklyn. In short, if you want something and is willing to travel the 5 boroughs and beyond, you'll be able to find it. When it comes to Montreal? You hit the Main. The Main is basically Boulevard St. Laurent between Sherbrooke and Jean-Talon, and the diversity of places informs you of its richeness of flavors. Want Hungarian and Askenazi jewish? Start at the Sherbrooke end. Portuguese? That's around Rue Rachel. Something more hipster friendly? That's St. Viateurs. How about Italian? That's closer to Marche Jean Talon. Interspersed between that range is a series of small shops that can cater to your specific needs. Marguez? There's a joint near that. Spanish cooking with a specific need for a paella (the pan for cooking a paella is itself called a paella), there's a place that sells it. A bit of a melange? That's what La Vielle Europe is for. So what makes La Vielle Europe such a good place to visit? Well, it might have to do with its blend of European charm and core Frenchness. When cultural anthropologists talk about food traditions they use the term foodways, which is the socioeconomic and cultural practices when it comes to food. When Quebec was a New French Signoralty hundreds of years ago, its culinary roots were preindustrial French. Then the Brits came in and injected its traditions, and throughout Montreal's history of expansion through immigration, new palates inform and expand upon these foodways, and there are still cultural and economic links back to France and other parts of Europe, and you see it in vivid display here. First, the cheese. The glorious cheese. One thing every visitor to Quebec learn quickly is the richness of the soil at "nos pays". They have great pasture, great dairy, and unlike the morons south of the border, they don't require their cheesemakers to pasteurize all their milk. As any American can attest, Quebec cheese is just better, creamier and more complex, and there is no better place to buy cheese than here. Have something in mind? Point and ask! They are not stingy with samples and will toss a few clues your way. The price is fairly decent as well, check out their discount section for some good stuff. Next, the baked goods. Yeah, they have bread, but they also have galettes, pasteis and will do you a sandwich. What kind of sandwich? They can do something classical like a jambon sandwich, or they can make you one of those gorgeous Portuguese sandwiches with their large eggy rolls. What about syrups and the beans? Yeah, for the coffee geeks out there, they have a massive selection of roasts and varietals, and the same goes for the au chocolat. Sure, they got coffee syrups to add that extra bit of salted caramel to your brew, but the payoff comes to your sodastream machine - The real charm comes from the availability of drinks syrups from France, the Teisseires and the Piquitos. Trust me, it's much better than the crap on offer in the US, and they last a long time. Honestly, with their large selection of sauces, candies, charcuterie and cooking oils, you cannot help but be impressed by both the breadth and depth of their selections. Want good eating? Visit old Europe. No availability on Air Transat? Bixi out to La Vielle Europe.

At the hotel, they sampled Manchebello, their Manchego-style sheep's cheese, and their 3 signature cow's cheeses, i.e., their blue-veined Rebellion 1837, semi-soft Tête à Papineau, and Adoray. Adoray, a soft, relatively young cheese, was especially interesting given the special spruce wood wrap which helps flavor it. Each of them was delicious! At the Fromagerie's cheese shop, although their little restaurant was closed, they sold sandwiches and coffee in addition to a number of gourmet local products, which included (of course) their cheese curd for making that Québécois specialty poutine. If you do order something to eat or drink, there's both indoor and outdoor seating with a view of the Ottawa River. Decided to try out take to go their Adoray cranberry mini baguette sandwich with an onion confit. Glad I did! Even though I didn't get to enjoy it heated, the flavors worked well together. Definitely recommend stopping by Fromagerie Montebello!
