Amazing food, people were kind! I love going there and I tell everyone about my genuine love for avril, only bad experience was once dropping 50$ in the store and someone took it but that was my fault for dropping it 😭, 100 pourcent recommend

Avril has a great selection of healthier grocery items. Items can be a bit pricer for the better quality, however, some items are on special as well. I may try one of their mushroom kits. I need to make certain that I have the appropriate growing conditions for success.

Don't like the food at their cafeteria, very disappointing. Pizza is bland, without the spicy sauce its barely digestible, pasta are hard and the sauce is literally just tomato sauce straight out of a can, but I like ricotta so whatver thats fine.

It is impressive how clean and well organized this place is! You can find a wide selection of healthy and organic food. Nice staff! There is a modern and positive vibe in this place. Even the music is so calming. Great location in Promenades Saint Bruno. You can enter from the new indoor market or from an outdoor entrance. I highly recommend it 👍🏻

One of the most beautiful retail store in North America. Wide aisle, great selection of organic products, farm growing fresh produce in store, food concept with freshly made pasta, pizza and gelato. Highly recommended!

First time going to this location with my wife and I can say it's beautiful. Me and the wife were very impressed. It's basically a fancy grocery store with better quality options with good pricing. They have a few things on sale right now because of the new opening maybe? We will be going back for sure, we have to try out a few new items we came across.

A big WOW!! Cleanliness +++ Grocery store with a zen atmosphere. Very good choice of meats from Quebec. Decent prices for organic fruits and vegetables and huge choice too. At the restaurant: PERFECT creme brulee!!! nice choice for sandwiches Hot brocco-kale soup, it s great! She is good but a little too salty (its easy for one customer to add salt but it is impossible to to remove...). Department clerks want to help customers and have a positive attitude. At the checkout, there are some cashiers who could be more cheerful. I really like shopping there! This seems like a very nice place to work!

Beautiful a must visit with a hydroponic veggie farm on the top floor. Love organic food. Edit/dropping rating from 5 stars to 1 on October 12th 2024 10:30am I asked if I could get a pizza with half cheese half pepperoni, the rudest cashier in the world rolled her eyes asked the cook, which lead to a 5 minutes discussion about how they dont so half topping pizzas. Suffice to say I walked away annoyed and feeling disrespected. My kid has a food allergy and this couldve been acknowledged. Asking for 1 less ingredient is not a big deal, I am guessing the cook preferred to go back to cutting his peppers than helping customers.

Bistro excellent

April 23, 2024

My experiences with Avril St. Bruno have been disgusting. On February 23rd around 2PM, I was dining in at the Avril bistro. A female server (in her late 30 s) with her glasses on, suddenly came over to the table attached right next to my table and started spraying the cleaning products into the direction of my salads and sandwich . The chemical drops were sprayed onto my hands. I felt extremely unpleasant and insulted because she never asked my permission nor gave me a sign that she would start spraying the chemicals into my foods and hands. Everything happened so quickly, so my instant reaction was to lift off my food plate (to the opposite direction of the spray). Her next action was even more ridiculous. She sprayed again saying it won t be long , on my table this time, therefore approaching even closer to my foods again. I was wondering Does Avril educate their servers to spray the cleaning products into the customer s foods and hands? She acted like she was doing a fair and justified action as if she was just doing her work of removing the stain on the table. So I observed if she would spray on other customer s plates and tables, but I was the only one being sprayed by her. I sat right below the security camera, so the manager should be able to check this situation if he/she wants to. Today around 1PM, I experienced a malicious behaviour of a short, young female server during my order for take-out. After my Bolognese lasagne was heated and salads were packed ready-to-go, I completed my payment. Instead of grabbing and passing the foods to me, this server made me wait for extra 10 more minutes just to receive my foods that are already heated and paid. She even told me to move to the very end of the counter (towards the washroom) so that I don t get in the way of other customers paying and leaving. Moreover, I realized when I went home that the content of my salads got reversed. The proportion of foods totally changed. I clearly saw a male server originally put 80% of couscous and 20% haricots, but when I opened it, it was filled with 70% haricots and 30% couscous on the bottom. How strange ! In addition, this short female server initially entered $8.99 for bolognese lasagne, even though the price tag indicated $5.99 (both my family member and I saw this tag on display). She said it should be $8.99 because that s what they have in their system, but since they haven t updated the price tag yet, she will let me have it for $5.99 (as if she is doing me a favor). I could go on and on with more of these unpleasant experiences at Avril St. Bruno, but I will cut down here. Note that I have been regularly eating and shopping at different Avril stores in Montreal, Longueuil and Quebec City for the last couple of years. But your succursale at St. Bruno is the worst in terms of some servers manner, behaviour and mindset. They act like their role is to offend the customers in every way they could. Avril St. Bruno is absolutely not worth re-visiting.

Truly the worst April I have visited. Super messy, flies both in the dining room and the bathroom. The bins full of trash piled up all around me during my dinner. I took a bowl in which the salad had hardly been cut at all. I wont come back. Very very disappointing.

Went for a sandwich a 1:30pm. About 5 costumer in front of me. Two left because it took too long but decide to wait. Tool around 24 minutes to serve 4 sandwiches including mine. Food is good but you need an hour in front of you to eat a Panini. Can t imagine during rush hour. Painfully slow costumer service.

March 23, 2024

I had my salad 4 choices on Sunday. The salads was incredibly not fresh, don t even deserve one star. The red beets were soon to be perished, very mushy. Each of the 4 choices were at least a day old, too sour, too hard, too awful tasting and served damn cold. I left while eating because they were almost uneatable.

I found it difficult to find a place to sit to be quiet while eating!, not that there werent any places but we had to change twice, nothing to do! the children were crying and the problem was like a big alley out everyone passes to go in the stroll of the children who pass and who play balloons in front of us the little one who cries and I told the 3 children this is not a place to play they continued in front of us the mother heard me and didnt react then she came back and sat not far from us near the toilet and her son kept screaming for everything and it was her daughter who took care of it because it irritated her, the mother always on her cell did nothing! Its still expensive to be attacked all the time you eat, but the all-dressed pizza is worth it as long as you can find a place elsewhere to eat it, the only positive point in my opinion! Its a shame that there is no more respect anywhere even less tranquility because of parents who do not educate their children so sad it has become a luxury eating in peace that was what it was before restaurants! Too bad!! but the pizza is really good!!

Customer service leaves something to be desired, and order management for ready-to-eat meals needs an overhaul. On our first visit to Avril, we waited 10 minutes in front of the first counter before an employee directed us to the second counter to place the order. After paying at the second counter, we were handed a notification device without informing us that we had to present the bill at the first counter for preparation to begin. We waited 20 minutes without our pizzas being ready. When they finally did, we received a pizza crust with no toppings, even though we had ordered a prosciutto pizza.
