Not your average fruit store!…read more Fresh veggies, exotic fruit and an amazing selection of ethnic products, makes me a regular at Muscat. Whether you're looking for Mexican corn tortillas, Japanese udon noodles, Italian pickled artichokes and so much more, this place will have it. The fruit and veggie prices are quite good, especially when you stick to what's in season - typically local in season produce will be cheaper here than the grocery. This place is key for anyone living on the plateau.

Unfortunately the quality of the fruits and veggies here have gone down a bit. Though the prices…read moreare still great and you get a lot for what you pay for, I find a lot of rotting fruit or over ripe fruit. I still come here regularly but am less excited about this place in general. The staff are friendly and I'm still happy to have access to reasonably priced produce. 3.5 stars

Stumbled across this busy farmers market when I was in Cote des Neiges. I was immediately drawn in…read moreand had to see what all the rush was about. There is a mix of produce, from what you can find in the supermarkets (same packaging etc) to a lot of produce from local farms which was lovely to see. Great selection of berries and tomatoes... super large tomatoes on the vine that looked divine! For me, what stood out the most was the large selection of local honey - I have found it difficult to find this in shops/supermarkets but this market has a good variety of honey from different flowers and farms. I also noticed that the market is open until late, ideal for students and locals in the area!

I think this place is so charming, the staff is nice and the selection is just great. The prices…read moreare good and everything looks good to eat. I work nearby so I like that they have hot options like samosas and Jamaican meat patties. They fill you up and are so good. Also they are a dollar which is unbeatable.

Check the prices, count your change!…read more I've been going here for years. Today, I pointed out a price discrepancy - kale was price $1.00 less per bunch than what they charged me at the cash. I requested, as per Quebec law that they reimburse me the full amount, and was basically told to get lost. The owner was very rude!

A small local grocery store that also has some amazing home made meals. From chicken schnitzel,…read moreThai chicken, pickled salmon, Shepard's pie and more. Their prices are a bit high, but the quality makes it very worthwhile. The service is top notch, and the store is extremely clean. It's limited in space, so sometimes feels crowded, but they have a large selection considering their spacial constraints. Their delivery is quick and efficient. It's a true asset to the neighbourhood.

It is a small grocery store therefore the prices tend to be higher and the selection not as extensive as a full-size, chain grocery store. Nevertheless, it has all the basics anyone could ever need. It makes the perfect last minute stop when you're not in the mood for rush-hour at IGA at Cavendish Mall. The parking is a little difficult to maneuver and very often lacking as it is shared with quite a few other places in the tiny strip mall but it's a good spot with friendly service and it's beyond easy to pop in and out quickly to get whatever you may need.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside and it's kind of in the middle of no where but…read morethey have a great meat section and you can do a full grocery here. They have a good but pricey fruit and vegetable section, a nice cheese and cold cuts section. They have specialty dairy products and several isles of non perishable food items including ethnic good products. Their butcher is great, they have nice cuts if meat. (No sausages though) and they also have a fish counter. Fish is prepared there. Great local store!

This place has been around for ever and you can see why. The staff are friendly and helpful and…read morethey seem to be happy to be there. I can often find what I am looking for but I wish the fruit / cookie sections had a bit more choice. It is a bit more expensive to shop here but you are really getting a superior product. The selection is a bit limited but I always manage to find a good substitute.

I just divorced Chez Nino. I have been shopping here for a very long time. Since the new ownership…read morewas in place the quality of the fruit has gone from amazing to ordinary. When asked why the oranges were not good at all, was informed they're Egyptian grown and sub par. When asked why not, as in the past, import Jaffa oranges (btw grown by both Arab and Jewish Israelis) was told new owners say if the product is from Israel, they won't buy it. Very disturbing to know that this place will not procure the best fruit and/or vegetables if it's produced in Israel. Next door is Chez Louis and they source the best fruits and vegetables from countries around the world, including Israel. They supply Montreal's finest restaurants.

Had a really fun time apple picking here! Was my first time going so not much to compare to…read more.. Dog friendly!! Went here for what was considered the last weekend of this years season (October 1). Was a 35 minute drive from the plateau. Each tree has a color marker on it to tell you which type you're getting. We arrived around 12 pm. It was definitely full...but not obscene...big gravel parking lot with helpful parking attendants directing traffic! When we left around 2pm things were starting to get a good amount more full... Upon arriving they give you a big plastic bag and you can fill it with 20 pound of apples (18 $). You grab a little tractor ride into the fields. When we got off the tractor, they told us a good area to focus our search in. Lots of trees and ladders made for a fun time with friends and some cute photos :) Only negative for me was that it was a bit of a free for all, kids were hanging out of trees, people swinging ladders around...I am not sure if it is like this everywhere though?

Some people may be surprised that there actually is an apple orchard in Laval. Most people make…read morethe trek to St Joseph Du Lac or the Eastern townships to go apple picking. This place is a hidden gem as it may be the closes apple orchard to Montreal. We love it because it's 15 minutes from our house! I've been coming here for 8 years and my wife has been coming here for 15 - 20 years. They had a great selection of apples and our favorite is to come in August when the apples are nice and tart! It's a family run business and their main time when they have tractors taking you deep into the orchards is in mid September. During this time it's a great family activity on a weekend and it gets pretty packed. They do have a good selection of local jellies and some apple and maple products. Also if you are lucky some fresh pressed apple juice. Price this year for a large bag of apples was $15. This is for a 10 pound U-pick. Selection of apples is cortland,lobo, macintosh. The Mcintosh are our favourite. I'm not sure the pesticide that they use but it would be a strong recommendation to wash them very well when you get home! Definitely a hidden gem. If you like the apples firm and tart in taste come in late August. If you like them more sweet and softer come later in September.

One of my favourite places to go to in the fall. Although they are open year round Quinn farm gets…read morethe most amount of people during autumn We had planned a family outing to pick apples and pumpkins. Because of covid you need to buy tickets ahead of time and you get a time slot to go enjoy the farm. The entry fee is 10$ per person. Once you arrive you get a bracelet and can pick up any prepaid bags for you apples or you can pay for them there. You can then check out some of the farm animals or let the kids use the slide and climb around the play area. Once your ready to pick the apples or pumpkins or even corn, you hop on the tractor and then pick your stop to get off at when they announce what fruits/veggies are available. You get to pick them and take them home ! They have washing stations for the veg as well. Once your done wait for the tractor to pick you up and head back home and bake your heart away !

I really enjoyed my experience at Quinn Farm. I came here with my family for pumpkin picking, but…read morethere was much more to see than just pumpkins! The entrance fee is 8$ per person. Once you're in the farm, you can go see some cute farm animals. There is also a big kiosk where they sell products made in-house, those are extremely overpriced! A truck brings you to a pumpkin patch. There are various kinds of squash and pumpkins, all priced very fairly. There was also apple picking available, but that is also overpriced. It costs $11 for a little bag, which is 3 to 4 dollars at the grocery store! Perhaps bringing the price down would entice people to buy more. In general, it's a nice farm with very friendly workers. A great place to go with your significant other, family, friends, kids, anyone! You just have to choose what you want to purchase.
