Loving this concept: it's a grocery, natural products store & a bistro that serves alcoholic beverages. Healthy , hearty lunch options (like a salmon filet with quinoa, salad , veggies & nuts) that cost the same price as a big mac trio at Mc D's. Those comparing prices to other supermarkets have lost their marbles, you can't compare ORGANIC prices to grade B , pesticide infested items. & prices are very competitive: this week I purchased organic strawberries for 3.99$! As with any store you should always shop front page'sale' items . Truly a welcomed addition in the neighborhood!
Thankfully Avril exists, but don't get your hopes too high because this isn't a Whole Foods. Produce is generally decent, & even if it isn't amazing it's still all organic & you pay as much (but often less) than what non-organic produce costs at other stores. But selection varies weekly & they're not always fully stocked.
Again, very difficult not to compare this to better health food stores in Canada & the US, but it is what it is & it's definitely a great option over IGA/Metro/Provigo & the likes of Adonis. (barf!)
There's room for improvement for sure, but I think ultimately what might stifle the selection is the need for French packaging. There's loads of much higher quality aisle goods that you'll never get to see in QC because...le Francais. It's a shame, but it isn't the fault of Avril.
Brand new Avril supermarket (organic store) in Griffintown with a nice terrace that you can get your breakfast/lunch/coffee & seat down to ear interior or in the terrace. I like smoked salmon bagel breakfast sanwitch & egg salad sandwitches for breakfast, & I really enjoy the chicken pesto sandwich here which is very fresh, tasty, & nice! Also Danoise, croissants, & Tartelette au citrouille are nice. Highly recommended!:)
Good fresh bread & pastries, nice terrace for gelato & food, great hours, organic produce, clean & welcoming, good customer service. Great addition to the neighborhood.
Vegan ice cream options were amazing!! Never seen a grocery store with such a wide variety of plant-based ice creams so I was so happy to see this. They also have a gelato bar inside. Looks a bit pricey but lots of natural/organic/plant-based stuff.
