Marché Adonis

Le marché Adonis est mon épicerie de choix. Il y a une grande variété de légumes et fruits à bas prix. J’adore les comptoirs services pour la viande, les noix et olives, le poisson, les pâtisseries et repas pour emporter. Cela permet de choisir la quantité qu’on veut et de goûter à de nouveaux produits. La viande marinée telles que des poitrines de poulet à la sauce mexicaine ou au pesto me facile tellement la vie. Les crêpes sont à essayer: vous aurez droit à une immense crêpe savoureuse! Le coin pâtisserie est hallucinant: vous pouvez commander un petit mille feuilles, un gâteau entier sans gluten ou encore des baklavas. Les gens au comptoir sont toujours très efficaces, cependant le soir et la fin de semaine, c’est extrêmement achalandé.
Ce que j’aime à Adonis le plus c’est la diversité de produits qu’on né retrouve pas ailleurs. On retrouve plus grandes marques mais il y a une grande place pour des produits importés de la Pologne par exemple. Leur seul faiblesse: on né retrouve pas des produits surgelés pas chers, comme de la bonne pizza. :) Il y a en fait très peu de spéciaux comparément à leurs plus grands compétiteurs au niveau des grandes marques. C’est une épicerie pour acheter frais.

Marche Adonis is a place I discovered roughly five years ago and I’m so glad I did. How I describe it is it’s a major Supermarket however with fantastic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influence. The store is divided up into seven main sections:
Fruit and Vegetable produce: excellent prices usually cheaper than other grocery stores and freshness is decent. They also have items such as artichokes, fresh dates, okra and other specialty produce not typically found in other main produce.
Deli Counter and fresh cheeses– cheapest place for cold cuts of any grocery chain. Lots of fresh cheeses and nut selection.
Dairy section– all your typical and different packaged cheeses, milk, yoghurt, eggs etc. a bit larger selection than most places.
Meat and Seafood– fantastic selection of fresh Halal meats and marinated meats for grilling. This is what they excel in. Everything from lamb, kefta, souvlaki and shwarma chicken their selection is out of this world. On the Seafood side the choices of fresh fish is amazing. red snapper, squid, lobster plus so many more I can’t name all of them it’s really large.
Frozen section– More frozen seafood. Items such as spanakopita and tirropita plus all your typical ice creams and frozen desserts and veg.
Prepared meals– I love this section for their rice dishes (paella, chicken and rice) plus their rotisserie plus flat grilled chicken, salads and items such as baba ghanoush, hummus and everything you could think of prepared yummy food!
Main grocery– lots of hard to find Arabic or Mediterranean spices, sauces, plus all your dry boxed, jarred or packaged items.
Bakery– decadent pastries, cookies, cakes and sweet tooth items.
The only downside to Adonis is they don’t accept credit cards. Although a very smart move on their behalf it sucks for the consumer. Albeit a minor inconvenience. Overall this place is pretty amazing. I go early in the morning as it is a gong show with people everywhere later on. Most of the days here are very busy with lots of store traffic so beware!

Probably the best Adonis in the Montréal area. Biggest with the grandest of selections.
You go to Adonis to have high quality fruits and veggies, meat cuts as well as selection of good that you will NEVER find at Maxi at the prices that nearly match it that makes a complete mockery of IGA.
This is not your mom and pop store, it’s HUGE with several butchers working behind the counter, a pastry place as well as a fast food place where you can pick up some solidly good hot grub.
Word of caution, if you dislike huge crowds avoid this place on weekends. You’ve been warned!!! It’s pretty insane and people are generally purposely being inconvenient to others (leaving the carts in the middle or lanes, being there in groups).
The service is a hit or miss variety, you better hope the butchers or the meat cutters on duty are fresh and willing to work or expect to wait 5 – 15 minutes to get your cut.
But all in all a great place to shop at.
