Can anyone reccomend restaurants or markets worth visiting that aren't too far from the area? If there is anything similar to Whole Foods for grocery shopping? That would be great to know, I've never identified any organic or upscale groceries around Montreal and that would be a nice surprise. Thanks in advance Mon Nov 02 11:20:05 -0800 2009 323966 Erica2125 1 5150396 The Marché Gourmand is not too far. It's located in the Centropolis area (centropolis.ca). There's a Premiere Moisson there, a big Poissonnerie, "épicerie fine" stuff, veggies/fruits place. Not too far from there is Sami Fruits, located at the corner of Boul.St-Martin Est and Daniel Johnson. As far as restaurants, Laval isn't really A-List compared to Montreal, unfortunately. - Khyber Pass on St-Martin Est is often mentioned on these boards (after Boul. Corbusier). - Déjeuner Cosmopolitain for breakfast, also on St-Martin (near Sami Fruits). - I also like Arouch on St-Martin as well, near the corner of Boul. Chomedey.

Greek- Many people will say marathon's but my favorite is Village grec on samson. If you feel like something different try Omda, basically an Egyptian place. http://www.omda.ca/ If you feel like Lebanese there is a place on cure labelle called Karoun. 411 Boulevard Curé-Labelle Laval, QC H7V 2S8 (450) 682-6820 There is also a much talked about Portuguese place that has been open for a few years and I will personally vouch for it. http://restomontreal.ca/portal/beira-mar/ I tried Mozza pizza yesterday and it was really great.. I had to do take out so I can't say how great it is in the dining room but its probably much better. Nice well done thin crust. www.restaurantmozza.com What else do you like? There is so much here once you know where to go. Mon Nov 02 17:11:28 -0800 2009 5150396 281065 humbert 3 5151608 I'm open to anything - italian, thai, mexican, french, you name it. I'd even love any suggestions for easy eat-in stuff like pizza or take-out chinese if there's something worth trying. I've never had the chance to explore the area so all these suggestions are much appreciated. It's nice to know I don't have to treck downtown all the time to find a good meal. Tue Nov 03 06:49:16 -0800 2009 5150642 323966 Erica2125 1 5151693 There's a Marché Adonis on Curé-Labelle. It's great for groceries, the meat and produce are very good quality and the take-away food counter is very decent. Falafel Freiha on Perron is unique in the Montreal area. It's a one chef, one dish place. The man makes fresh falafel all day and they're amazing. http://www.adonisproducts.com/ http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&source=hp&q=falafel+freiha&ie=UTF8&hq=falafel+freiha&hnear=&ll=45.539902,-73.744934&spn=0.007815,0.013776&z=16&iwloc=A Tue Nov 03 07:23:26 -0800 2009 5149485 18488 SnackHappy
