This IGA - aside from being amazing in all the ways I described in my original review - seems to be setting the standard for how to properly operate under the current conditions so I wanted to share in the hopes of other grocery stores following their lead. When you arrive here, all the doors are closed except for one and when you enter that one there's a portable handwashing station like you'd see outside portopotties at a festival. So everyone is washing their hands as they enter. Then they are given a cart which has just been wiped down by the staff. Staff are also circulating wiping down the handles of fridge doors etc. Cashiers are using sanitizer between every customer and as you leave your cart is immediately wiped down again. This loving attention will save lives in our community and I really really appreciate it.

This it THE best and most beautiful supermarket I've ever been to. Emphasis on "super"…read more This used to be a Loblaw's, but the Provigo chain has undergone a multi million dollar project to expand, rebrand and renovate some of their existing stores. The Saint Sauveur location is a star child of this facelift. You're entering a 64,600 sq. ft. showpiece that is bright, well lit and spacious. Upon entering you'll first notice a massive patisserie counter with cupcakes, macarons and other gourmandises. Fresh produce will be a few steps behind. The new concept has a selection of "boutiques" along the perimeter, like a deli counter, charcuterie, oyster/shrimp bar and cheese counter with the prettiest 2 feet tall glass fridge containing an impressive array of local and imported cheeses. There is also a Joe Fresh collection of apparel for adults and children. The Loblaws/Provigo brand excels in going above and beyond to turn grocery shopping into an experience. The food is premium and gourmet, sampling stations are delish. Everything was taken into consideration, there's nothing boring or traditional about this store, even the floor is a popping orange. To make your shopping trip more enjoyable, the couple times I went over the holidays, they had a live jazz band playing! If you were dragged along and didn't feel like shopping, take a seat at the cantine and make use of their free wifi! Yes the prices are higher than what you would find at other grocery chains, this location caters to tourists and skiers - however if you're purchasing specialty goods, it is worth it, you'll find things that are uncommon elsewhere.

For veggies, I find it more difficult to buy stuff since they sell in big quantities, but if you have a big family or you wanna throw a party, then this is the spot. I like their selection of Asian products, so when I am in the mood to cook some Asian food I know I will find here what I need. This place is a great gem in the area!

The last time we were there we couldn't even enter the store, you were asked to prepare your list and to give it to a staff member who would prepare it all for you. The staff are quick, friendly and are clearly taking this situation seriously and I can't tell you how much that means to us. The peace of mind of knowing that your groceries hadn't been sneezed on by a million panic shoppers was 100% worth the wait. Bonus: we were able to buy an enormous, restaurant sized bag of flour. Which is important, because all I crave is carbs now! Stay safe folks. oxo

My sis-in-law saw this spot on the way up so on our way back from dog sledding we decided to pick…read moreup some pies. It's located on the side of the highway so it's not hard to see. There's parking right out in the front and when we went there were plenty of spaces. Inside they have fruits and veggies as well as other frozen and fridged food. They do have fresh maple donut holes which we did end up buying alongside an apple pie, cranberry apple pie and maple sugar pie. They do have one restroom in the back if you do need to take a little pit stop. The woman there was quite friendly and the place definitely felt like you're going to a neighborhood small grocery store. The maple sugar pie was ultra sweet and the cranberry apple was sweet but at least it was tart to balance. The maple donut holes and apple pie were the winners for me. I believe the donut holes were made from potato flour so it was savory and sweet. Overall, it's a nice spot to take a quick pit stop and grab some snacks and desserts before heading back to Montreal.

#1 part of my Covid19 writing collection…read more I found this little country store on the way back down from the Rawdon area just located in St Esprit. They specialize in loads of different dessert pies a huge selection of apple, blueberry, tarte au sucre, fresh doughnuts and many many other offerings. These delectable delights are in the room on the right side when you enter. If you walk to the back area in the main building they have freezer section of prepared foods in various sizes and a huge selection. My fave are the chicken pot pies. They are not chalky and lacking filling as I've had with grocery store varieties. Their chicken pies are creamy and packed full of veg and generous chicken serving. I've also had their tourtiere du Lac St Jean and it was loaded with meat and a few different kinds of potatoes! They also have various tourtiere, frozen pasta meals, cabbage rolls and loads of stuff your grandma may have specialized in. It's Sunday night comfort food! All delicious. There is a fresh fruit and vegetable produce area and also lots of jams and jellies that are great to discover. They make a great small gift. These types of country stores are a real gem. Plus you are supporting a small business! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Location: Near the outlets, and by highway 15S. They have a good-sized parking lot. They opened up…read moreover the summer so everything is still bright and shiny. The place: While it's pretty darn big, the layout sucks. I felt like I was going through a damn labyrinth the entire time I was navigating the fruits/veggies/fish/baked goods areas. Honestly, there's a lot to be said for straight aisles that run from front to back. They should hand out maps at the front of the store to help you navigate the sections that had the misfortune of being positioned within the labyrinth. Food: Despite my annoyance with the layout, they do have a very large selection of produce, dairy, baked goods etc. I don't think you can walk in here and not find what you're looking for. It definitely gives Metro a run for its money. Price: Personally, I find that IGA is up there in terms of cost, but, I have also noticed that the prices are higher up north vs. in town. If you can do your shopping at home before coming up north, that's probably your best bet.

The Metro feels way more like a family grocery store than the ginormous Super C on the highway and if I need to pick up a few quick things after working in the Couleur cafe I'll pop over here. The produce and meats and fish seem fresh, though I'd love to see more of an emphasis on local sustainable providers. Fish in particular should always be clearly marked with its origin since this industry is so dirty and problematic these days. The staff are super friendly and bilingual for the most part, and again this grocery has a surprisingly good selection of local microbrews and then the usual SAQ wines. All in all a great option in the area!

This location in Ste Agathe is cute and packed with goodness. The parking here is not ideal, it's mostly across the street with a very small zone for cars to swing in and pick up their groceries when they leave. During covid times they've encouraged folks to call ahead with their orders, they aren't touching cards or reusable bags, limiting their hours and the number of people in stores and providing washing stations and sterilizing cash and counters. Do not sleep on the refrigerated cheese room. Glorious!

I did want to update to add that they have an amazing big smoker that sits in the parking lot smelling crazy delicious. There is a small area in the butcher section of house smoked goods - we tried the trout last week and it was just so flavourful. We chatted with the gent in charge of the smoker and he said if you call a couple days in advance you can get a whole fish smoked for you, or a cut of local meat. Later that day we were at a tiny community festival in the park, and a few people from the Marché were there giving out free bites of waffles, and they recognized us right away from earlier in the day and said hi and made sure we'd remember their names for next time. All this to say, long live small town grocers!
