Avril Supermarché Santé comes through in reviews as a small but fairly complete health-focused market with a strong emphasis on fresh, organic, and hard-to-find items, plus a cafe and a popular ice cream that many praise. Parking is underground and convenient for EV charging but pricey, while shipping and downtown pricing are noted as expensive by some despite fast service and quality. The store is often described as clean, well organized, and welcoming, with friendly staff, helpful guidance on products, a robust lunch counter and a diverse range of health products that includes vegan options and beauty items. Fresh produce is frequently highlighted, though a few visits report faded vegetables at some locations and questions about consistency; still, the inventory is described as varied and sometimes surprising. Readers appreciate the convenience for quick meals, pastries like scones, soups, sandwiches, and bowls, as well as good coffee and even specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere; many consider Avril one of their favorite groceries in downtown Montreal, with comparisons to Erewhon and other health-focused chains, and praise the atmosphere, seating, and the value of the overall healthy shopping experience despite higher prices.
I always buy vanilla icecream here & just got refrozen one.. if icecream is melting, you guys must not sell it to customers, do not refreeze them please! It can be dangerous also taste is horrible, waste of my money
Les pâtisseries vendues ne sont pas fraîches du jour, attention. Aussi, seulement des réductions de 30% & des produits parfois passés date. Peut-être l'Avril de Griffintown est à privilégier.
Definitely needs more selection. Go to the Avril on rue peel it is bigger. Tough Avril in general I find it hard to find a simple bagel with no soy in it along with other things. The employees won't help you. I showed a man a picture of the product on my phone & he still couldn't help me. They don't have tallow or plentiful meat supply either.

J'adore ce Avril. Les aliments sont toujours frais. Les employés sont charmants & attentifs à mes demandes. Le prête-à-manger me dépanne très souvent pour le lunch. Il y a toujours de la variété. Ce que j'aime aussi est le coin bistro, les 5 à 7 sont formidables. Je recommande sans hésitation.

I could survive living next to this place. Has all the simple ingredients for a healthy meal. I bought coconut milk & chia seeds to make chia pudding for my three-day AirBnB stay.
Avril Supermarche Sante in Montreal is an amazing place for a snack or a beer. Kady the man at the bar is both friendly & helpful will certainly visit again. Good luck guys
Twee Whole Foods It you're looking for a small, cute Whole Foods, this is the place for you. If not, there's a comfortably plebeian Couche-Tard just a couple of blocks SE. They tout nothing as organic & choose to peddle proper energy drinks not made with flippin coconut water or kombucha.
It is a nice groceries store in downtown center. Vegetables & fruits are fresh. There, you can find prep foods, coffee bar, bakery, gelato & quite variety of non dairy or gluten free. They also do catering with good offer. In summer, they open a nice terrace. I personally like the store but I gave 4 stars for the customer service. One time, I saw a price promotion paper on top of one ice cream box. The date was small & was hidden behind the freezer's angle. I picked up the item to cashier to pay, it showed regular price at check-out. Another staff came & pulled up the paper with small letters saying that the promotion ended yesterday. The cashier shrugged her shoulders & asked if I still wanted it or not, it is no longer on promotion. I told her that in Quebec, isn't it supposed to follow the price displayed in the promotion. The cashier just said: "I don't know about the law", & she just looked at the computer screen. I did not like that attitude. It was busy noon time & I did not want to block the line to continue the talk. (ah, I ended up taking a different ice cream box at regular price🙂.)
