Review Summary

L'Avant Goût is a charming neighborhood épicerie fine with a carefully curated mix of local Quebec products and well chosen imports, including artisanal cheeses, small batch preserves, locally roasted coffee and a thoughtful line of beers, ciders and wines. The staff are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and the owner seems genuinely invested in customers, often sharing recommendations and helping discover new finds. The selection highlights regional producers and seasonal ingredients, making each visit feel more like a culinary adventure than routine shopping, with weekend tastings and in store explanations adding social meaning. Prices are not the lowest, but the quality and sense of community keep regulars coming back, describing L'Avant Goût as a hidden gem worth a trip for locals and visitors alike.

Une épicerie dans Pointe Saint-Charles qui vaut le détour par c est produits exceptionnels très bien sélectionnés, un environnement chaleureux, toujours un petit plus soit par une dégustation, une explication d un nouveau produit, la musique etc mais surtout un dévouement hors pairs de l équipe ainsi que le propriétaire lui même. Merci 💛

Great selection of local & imported products. I love choosing a new pasta sauce for our weekly dinners! Keep an eye out for PSC events, the owner will surely be cooking up something tasty!

L'Avant Goût Épicerie is a hidden gem, it's exactly what a neighbourhood grocery shop should be. The selection of local Québec products is thoughtfully selected - from artisanal cheeses & small-batch preserves to locally roasted coffee & unique pantry staples you won't find in big chains.

You can tell the owners cares about the quality & community. Everything feels intentionally chosen, highlighting regional producers & seasonal ingredients. It's the kind of place where you pop in for one item & leave inspired to cook a three course meal!

The staff are warm, knowledgeable, & happy to share recommendations, which makes the experience feel personal rather than transactional.

If you're in Montréal & want to support local while shopping for truly great products, this spot is absolutely worth the visit!

Great little grocery store where you can find most products. They have fresh veggies & fruits but usually a little ugly since it is mostly rejects.
Sometimes their selection of products is a little expensive but it is a good corner store.
