Stopped here on my way home from a trip Montreal and was beyond impressed. This is a MUST stop while in Montreal!\n\nWent here to pick up some real cheese (ie Unpasteurized) as well as some of the more interesting varieties that are not typically available in the US.\n\nSo I went in a little bit concerned that my crappy french skills were going to be an issue in getting exactly what I wanted, but boy was I wrong. A guy approached me and asked me if I needed in French first, but he very quickly switched to English. I think at first he was like oh crap some stupid American is in my store. Then I started explaining what I wanted and he became beyond friendly.\n\nHe escorted me around the entire store (cheese and beer sections) explaining every last little thing. He gave me all kinds of amazing recommendations. I'm almost ready to move to Montreal just so I can go to this place on a regular basis. That is how good it is! \n\nThe funniest part was how he kept saying remember when you get to the border to say you have nothing to declare and if they stop you make sure you don't mention anything about how the cheese is unpasteurized or I would get busted. He then said and if you get busted forget where you bought the cheese. It was classic.\n\nThe beer selection was also great as it had a lot of Quebecois microbrews that are either impossible or very hard to get in the US. I bought a bunch of Dieu Du Ciel which I had never been able to find anywhere and then strangely saw it at Julios liquors like 2 weeks after I got back. The selection was seemingly every brew they make which was awesome as they are pretty out there when it comes to beer.
