It's time to update the review since this store has undergone some major changes recently. This is…read morea small grocery store located just a mile or so north of the US border. It has a bakery in the store and you can get some nice pies, breads and cakes. Since the store changed names, the selection of beer has increased dramatically. They now have beer from many of the microbreweries in Montreal. I even found (and bought) a bottle of Kissmeyer beer from Odense, Denmark but brewed in Ontario. We visited the Kissmeyer brewery last month when we were in Denmark. Other parts of the store include the dairy section where you can buy Quebec butter, milk and other products. Quebec milk is better than US milk for cappuccino frothing. They have a small meat department and produce area. If you are American, stop by US Customs on your way to Canada and become familiar with the produce you can and can't bring back to the US. There are lots of rules with produce.

A beautiful working monastery in the heart of the rural Eastern Townships, the Abbaye de…read moreSaint-Benoit-du-Lac was well worth the visit. It is a relatively modern monastery, built over the course of the early to mid 1900s. We went on a Sunday morning for mass and found the sanctuary full of parishioners and tourists. The Gregorian chant was beautiful to hear, although we weren't able to stay for the whole liturgy due to a very impatient infant. We weren't there for a tour, but did stop to read some of the displays describing the history of the monastery and the rhythms of monastic life. The colored brickwork and overall architecture is beautiful. There aren't a lot of spaces open to the public, but we still enjoyed walking around and seeing some of the snow-covered grounds. The monastery is known for its cheeses and jams, so a visit to the store was on our agenda. The store, however, was located in the basement, and the only access we could find was a flight of stairs. We had a stroller, though, and couldn't find an elevator. We ended up taking turns walking the baby outside while the other person explored the store. The grounds at this time (April) were mostly not open to the public, but I've read that they have some walking trails. When it was my turn, I didn't have much time to look. But it looked like they had a large selection of abbey-made items as well as a bookstore with a good sized children's section. I bought some postcards and a French-language children's missel for a friend, but would have looked longer if I could. The Tall Man picked up a four pack of cheeses for a Swiss friend, who loved it, plus some other goodies, but we wished we had some jam! They didn't have larger bags at the register, but they did have some empty boxes. There are a couple parking lots that quickly filled up for mass. I would love to know if they have an accessible entrance to the store. By the time I found some of the store staff, though, I didn't ask since I needed to go. We noticed others who either left strollers outside or turned back from the abbey entrance.

The man helped with the creation of the Owl's Head ski resort many decades ago. And the lady prepares their own smoked meat, and uses it to serve one of the most simple and delicious smoked meat sandwiches anywhere - as good or better than any I've had in Montreal. I wish I knew their names. It's a perfect spot to stop after skiing at Owl's Head or Jay Peak. They also have hot soups and other foods. Usually open until 6-7pm. If you get there before 5pm, be sure to grab some desert down the street at Owl's Bread - which is a supremely delicious bakery/restaurant - but with very limited hours. The deli has classic fresh donuts too.

We visited one for breakfast in Baie-Saint-Paul a few weeks ago for breakfast and I gave it five stars. Since it is a chain, this one also gets five stars. We toured this location, but chose not to eat there for lunch. However, we will be back to try it another day. The inside is small with some seating. The pastries, sandwiches and bakery items were similar to those in the Baie-Saint-Paul location. There were quite a few people in the store who had discovered this place and were ordering lunch. It was actually quite crowded. We will return to eat here.

We enjoy going to this store because you can find a nice selection of European foods that are difficult if not impossible to find in the US. Prices are good, especially with the US$/CAD$ exchange rate. They also have a very large selection of Quebec beers and European beers that are difficult and expensive if you can find them in the US. There is a huge parking lot that will accommodate even the largest trucks and campers. There are always people around who speak English and French if you need help.
