Suggestions for picnic fare on the plateau
I'm going to be short on time tomorrow, but I've committed to putting together a nice early evening picnic for 2. I'd like to just pick up a few things around the plateau neighbourhood. Any suggestions for the best portable summer treats?
Thanks!

You could throw together a decent picnic picking up a Romados chicken and some natas, and a couple salads and a baguette or whatever from the deli at Provigo at Clark and Mont-Royal, then taking the bus up to Beaver Lake. Not sure what your actual plans are though :)

You can also find wine and beer across the street from the Provigo as a SAQ-Express outlet, open until 10pm. Not the most extensive selection, but ok for a picnic. And the whites and rosés are chilled.
Better baguettes at the bakery on the other (west) side of St-Urbain (the Provigo is between Clark and St-Urbain).

On St-Viateur, near Esplanade (in front of Bio Terre) there's a great little grocery store with everything you could possibly want for a picnic and while they have lots of fine posh foods they also have plenty of reasonable fare. Great fruit selection, great cheeses, breads, spreads... and wine also. Wish I remembered the name.

Maybe you are thinking of Latina? It's on the corner of St-Viateur and Esplanade.
For the next time, try:
DaVito on Fairmount (across from the bagelry) for Italian sandwiches and marinated vegetables.
Café Soufflé de Marie & Anne (St-Urbain corner Marie-Anne) for some pretty, tasty sweets, sandwiches, salads, and such (and it's very close to Parc Jeanne-Mance).
