J.A. Moisan Epicerie, Quebec City

The store has existed since 1871 and maintains an ancient and prestigious atmosphere. The supply in the store includes wines, dips, cakes, canned goods, sausages and cheeses. I tried the milfay cake and it was good but the leaves were too hard.

Ah! So very cool here! What a nice grocery/snack store this is! My friend took me here when I was visiting so he can show me. It’s apparently the oldest in the city. It’s kind of small and narrow but it has excellent products and the wine section in the very back is amazing! Just be aware that you can’t buy a beer and crack it open when if you decide to have a bite to eat there at one of their tables. They’re not licensed. I nearly did it 😂 I recommend paying a visit here. 👍😎

beware if you are not french speaking, I am but my wife is not. certain staff will not serve you even if you try to make an effort to speak French .... which she did. it was really disappointing. some of the staff were really dismissive and cold. I grew up in the neighbourhood and I use to hold JA Moisan in such high esteem , it is sad to see customer service being so deplorable....as a French sparking person it was shocking to hear the interaction. I would not recommend the store anymore... I will give it another try in a few months to see if the situation has improved...but so far it is in a sad state of affair

It is amazing the way the keep it so real to the old times. Every time you get inside it feels as if you have travel in time. All the products they sell match together to each other. Whatever they sell the packaging is amazing. Is a great place for graphic designers or illustrators who wants to make a research in situ of many different vintage typos and logos. Highly recommend.

Living in Montreal for many years, I have not found any grocery shop compared to here. You can get all of grocery needs with premium quality especially fantastic cheese options and all food spices. Definitely the prices are slightly higher but worth it if quality matters for you.
