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.

The products are local. The prices used to be fine, but within just three weeks the price of watermelons went up (in mid September), & unfortunately the quality was not good at all.

When I come to MTL, I'm usually here for fashion but wandering the streets of Pointe-Saint-Charles changed that. I stumbled into L'Avant Gout & left with chic olive oils, perfect produce, & a Québec citronella melon I'm still dreaming about. Beautifully curated & worth the trip for locals & visitors alike. This is not just shopping, it's a taste of what happiness looks like.
