I visited this giant Algerian grocery store on the recommendation of an Uber driver. It's a…read moreseveral-mile walk/bus from the final blue Metro stop at Saint-Michel (my favorite neighborhood in Montreal), and worth checking out. They've got a large eat-in area with tagines (I tried chicken with mushrooms in a cream sauce), rice, pizzas, and various kinds of fried seafood. On another side is a giant bakery line with breads, then specialty square pizza slices, then probably 75 kinds of pastries in unreal shapes and configurations. The pizza I tried was unbelievable, and it wasn't even heated. Easily in the top 5 places I've ever tried. So was the (I think) white-chocolate horn filled with pistachios. Then, I remembered the next day reading a long time ago that most bakeries in France actually are run by Algerians. The Algerians must be the best bakers on the planet, and this place is a must-visit - also for groceries, they had a lot of things you can't find anywhere in the U.S.

Mauvaise expérience dans ce magasin. Moi et mon amie…read morevoulions simplement acheter des fraises, mais certaines boîtes contenaient des fraises abîmées. Quand j'ai voulu changer la boîte, un employé nous a parlé d'une manière très agressive et a commencé à crier sur nous devant les clients. Il nous a même dit : " Vous devriez avoir honte, c'est le Ramadan ", simplement parce que nous ne voulions pas acheter des fraises abîmées. À un moment, il est venu brusquement et a pris la boîte de fraises directement du chariot de mon amie avec force et est parti avec en criant. C'était très humiliant. C'est la dernière fois que moi et mon amie venons dans ce magasin, alors que j'étais une cliente régulière.

Most of the customers followed Covid-19 regulations, however, our young cashier girl was not wearing a mask, it was under her chin - not impressed.

I found this specific Maxi to stand out compared to the others I've been to, namely the one on papineau. They had clear distancing measures in place. For example there was tape 1 meter apart outside for people to line up while distancing. Once inside we were promptly given purel and upon check out the staff worked in teams to get people out as quickly as possible. All tills were open and they created a system to ensure people werent standing too close to each other. The staff was very cautious while still being helpful.

There was also a hardware section of household goods, frozen and a big bonus. An open concept restaurant located in the grocery store. It looked as though locals were enjoying a Saturday lunch when I arrived. The smells of wonderful pork bone soup filled the air! Back to the grocery store two blocks away is Kim Phat. So one would think how the hell can they possibly compete with such a Vietnamese powerhouse as KP. It's like the David and Goliath tale. Obviously there's an allure to shopping here as people were coming and going. Parking is to a minimum and there was a guy attending and trying to control parking as I was coming in. Selection was more than adequate for my Asian food needs. Some interesting discoveries: 1) dried mud fish. Not sure how one would cook a dish using. Never tried this before but googled it and it looks like a devilish creature living in a muddy landscape far far away. 2) vegetarian shark fin. As many shark lovers have cried afoul of Chinese and their celebration of shark fin soup. Don't judge me I grew up with real SFS. With the veggie version I'm glad Kei Phat supports this socially conscious move. Pamela Anderson or the PETA individuals would be proud as well. I would definitely return as its a good experience to come and shop then eat lunch or vice versa in the restaurant.

Friendly neighbourhood grocery store, with emphasis on Italian and Asian ingredients. Today I found…read moregai lan (Chinese broccoli) and in the summer there's usually rapini (Italian broccoli). They have 99c baguette (fresh daily) and nice white corn tortillas, too. Pistilli always has the basics (for us, that includes soy milk), good prices on produce, and good-quality meat and fish. If you don't see what you're looking for at the butcher's counter, just ask. As with most of the smaller (and some of the larger) grocery stores in Montreal, much of the produce is shrink-wrapped and/or on styrofoam trays. I understand that helps keep food fresh longer, reducing wasted food, but I would prefer less plastic. My personal Montreal pet peeve, and Pistilli is not the worst offender in this area. All in all, I'm glad that this store is close to home. One or both of us is there every week.

This in an old Super C…read more Pros: prices are low (sometimes lower than Maxi). Rarely run out of specials (but it happens). Cons: Carriages are old and very dirty. Parking lot is crazy and dangerous! Fruits and veggies are 50/50 fresh. Usually long lines at the cash registers (especially on "good" special weeks). Employees talking to each other at cash registers about things we, the clients, shouldn't know about (complaining about work/schedule). Exit door doesn't work and is broken (only one door is always open). The exit is full of empty carriages (extremely annoying). I usually avoid going to this Super C because of the cons mentioned above, unless it is good special weeks. Parents, watch your kids as the parking lot is very dangerous! Go to Maxi in front of the street instead.
