L'avant gout is my go-to grocery store. The owner & his staff are always incredibly friendly, welcoming, & helpful. The products are consistently great quality, & they genuinely try to accommodate whenever you need something specific. It's always a pleasant experience shopping there. Highly recommend supporting this local gem.

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!

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.
