The best specialty grocery stores Quebec

A historical emblem of Quebec, the general store has endured over the years, continuing its original mission but sometimes updated, as is the case here. You'll still find everything from home decor and utility items to gourmet products, but in a more trendy style. You can also take a coffee break on site (teas, coffees and pastries) or enjoy a good ice cream on the terrace in season.

This shop is a haven for lovers of microbrewery beers and gourmet products. At the helm: two long-time friends, connoisseurs and beer lovers. Their passion can be felt everywhere in the boutique, from the selection of hand-picked products to the impeccable and personalized service. The selection is rich and varied, enough to make great discoveries. The gourmet section offers a panoply of good products, mostly from Quebec's terroir. An address that focuses on quality, loyalty and attractive prices.

When two kings of smoked food come together to breathe new life into the Boucanier (a fire razed the old business to the ground in 2015), it's an event in itself. April 2016 is the beginning of a beautiful story. That of a smoked food counter (partly on the premises) and small dishes that are beautiful and good to eat. In addition to the traditional bagels, risottos and salads, you'll find smoked triple cream bries, hot smoked salmon with pepper and lemon, duck breasts marinated for three days in 14 spices or the diabolical bites of smoked salmon in maple syrup. Are you still here?
