Avril Supermarché Santé

5.0

This store has so many vegan grocery options: cheeses, meats, yogurt, frozen. Really good selection.

At the bistro they have so many vegan options: croissants, spiced cake, wraps, sandwiches etc.

There's a seating area & the music inside the store is pleasant.

The staff are friendly.

Really nice store, will definitely come again!

I am so psyched that this finally opened up in Griffintown. 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!

I love this place! Not only the food & gelato is great, but the staff is always nice, especially Lilly, at the cake & gelato counter! She always goes the extra mille for small things, explains you everything & gives you the best options, on top of that she is also super generous with making you try the gelato flavours! Thank you Lilly, you are the best!

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.

Beautifully laid out store with great selection & lots of healthy options to choose from. Thumbs up to François & Haylee for great customer service & being friendly & helpful! (One star missing because the prices are on the higher end. I understand though that the rent is surely on the high end too)

Belle épicerie, avec des options pour les intolérances dans la partie bistro. Mon rdv santé pour les suppléments & les produits bio :)

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.
