    Nice selection of bourbon and whiskey for such a tiny point of sales.

    "So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society…read morehowl" (Elton John) The SAQ stands for the Société des Alcools du Québec. It's the network of government-run liquor stores in Quebec. It manages the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages across the province and operates its own retail stores. We were fortunate enough to win a gift card to SAQ at a charity event last week, so one of our final visits in Montreal was to walk over to this small store at the Place D'Armes and pick up whatever we could for our C$50 prize. Although the store wasn't very large it was very neat and fully stocked, with prices clearly marked for every bottle and can in the store. One of their sales associates was very friendly and helped us find what we were looking for. I'm a big Bloody Mary fan, and from previous trips to Canada knew that "Bloody Caesars" are favored up here. The differ from a Bloody Mary by using Clamato juice instead of a tomato juice base. So, when I saw a shelf with plenty of Clamato choices, I knew one would be coming home with me. I selected a 16 ounce can of Clamato Caesar "With the Works" (Le Tour Garni) with extra spices, seasonings, hot sauce and horseradish (C$3.80). We rounded out our purchase with a bottle of Cliff 79 Shiraz (C$11.75), a bottle of Folonari Pinot Grigio (C$14.95), a bottle of Casa Santos Sangria (C$12.45), and a nifty little branded tote bag for (C$2.95). The only down note of our visit concerned a bottle of SIVO blueberry liqueur I had hoped to buy. I had some at a social function on Thursday night and liked it so much I took a photo of the bottle. When I showed the photo to the sales associate, he not only told me they didn't carry it, but he also told me it was just syrup, and not alcoholic. He said any grocery store would have it. I learned that he was wrong, it is an alcoholic product made in a Canadian distillery.

    Excellent selection and what seems like decent prices. I found what I went for: maple whiskey and…read moremaple cream liqueur.

    You don't really come here for the atmosphere, the inside of the store is just like any other…read moreDepaneur in Quebec but is has a fantastic selection of Quebec micro brews. However, there is a shelf that covers one wall filled with a great variety of Quebec Micro brews. La Trou, Charlevoix, Dieu De Ciel, La Brasserie, and many others are represented. When you first walk in though, you'll see a small cooler with limited selection and a few bottles on top, and a few near the cash register. The long wall of beers though is around the corner and easy to miss thinking there isn't much here, so look around and you'll quickly see it. The proprietor speaks English fine if you need help, and he does know the product. I did ask for a few things and he knew what I was talking about but they didn't have them. Also if you come as a vistor not from Canada you can not use credit cards here, it's Cash and Canadian debit only. This is a great store if you want to take a peak and grab some Quebec beers. However I dropped by on a quiet Sunday, and the proprietor told me that they usually get the bulk of items on Fridays and Saturdays and it becomes quite busy then, and Sundays are a little picked clean and dead customer visiting wise. Everything I've also read calls this place a little expensive, but personally it's inline for what I would pay if I was in DC, and I didn't find it that much more expensive than other places I saw beers at, so I find it reasonable, but there might be a better deal if you went somewhere else, but I wouldn't call this place a rip off joint. Still if you want Quebec beers, this is worth stopping in for, I could have easily bought many things. But if you want more international variety or something else then you're not going to get much out of it. Dieu de Ciel is also just up the the street a few blocks, so it's a perfect one two punch for visiting.

    Le Paradis de la Bière is way overhyped given their name. We found another place with a beer…read moreselection that was easily twice as large. I also found the guy who runs this shop to be very difficult to deal with; in fact, he was the rudest person I met during my time in Montreal. As previous international reviewers have said, he only accepts Canadian debit and cash, and brusquely refused to take my international debit card. I have had zero issues using this card at shops of all sizes in Montreal, Vancouver, Reykjavik, Osaka, and everywhere else I've been except this place, but he refused to run it because "it would cost him $2.00." Even if that's true--and again, I've never heard it anywhere else--it seems like pretty shoddy business sense, as I was planning to spent well over $100 here. I pointed this out to him and he said I didn't understand how card processing worked, muttered something about small profit margins, then told me I could pay him $2 if I wanted to use it. No thanks. I went to a competitor, used the same card (with no complaint), and was much happier with both their selection and service. Stay away from this supposed "Paradis."

This IGA is packed no matter what time of day it is. Although there's always many people, the store itself is always clean and stocked. The lady before me complained she did not have enough fries in her box. Despite that, the young woman was smiling when t was my turn. I went right after the lunch rush. Upon waiting the line up was not long and there was a lot to choose from. My regular is the chicken thigh with fries, salad and gravy. I have no clue how these stores make rotisserie chicken but it is always so moist. The gravy was hot, and the macaroni salad was not drenched in mayonnaise. I am taking away one star because the wedges were a bit dry. There is a sitting area for people who have bought food which is awesome. Remember to keep your receipt since security will ask. There is a sink and a microwave.

    Please note: This is a review for the recycling department specifically, and mainly to give a few…read moreshoutouts to the hardworking staff that manage this portion of the operations (which is located to the left of the main store front). It's quite an amazing setup and larger than most with a long L-shaped counter area for bottles, plus two aluminum and plastic recycling machines to one side. They also sell lottery products. It tends to be quite a busy and hectic area, and I can imagine is not the easiest section to manage and especially to keep clean. So now for those shoutouts. Firstly, Karele who stood out with a nice smile, was quite friendly and welcoming, also Enkera who even though on break, helped out and Maryemma (spelling?) who was not there at the time, but I have seen working quite hard on several occasions. Job well done, keep it up!
