Review from Mister O.

Tiny meat store with a good assortment of eurostyle cured meats and sausages, along with some appropriate spices and canned and packaged foods. As others have said, they also make sandwiches to go, which one can choose to eat at their little parcel shelf next to the door. The appeal of this place for me, though, is the partially-smoked and cured pork shoulder rolls they keep in the small cold case along the back wall. They're not even labelled, so you may have to ask to be pointed at them. But do ask. One of those balls of meat, simmered in a cauldron of water for 150 minutes, yields both the most densely-flavored, tastiest cold pork you'll ever put on your sideboard, and a pot of truly magnificent stock for your next pea or white bean soup.
They also sell a couple of different varieties of bacon, in slabs if you wish. And there is no question too stupid for the bright lady in the baseball hat behind the cash. This is another of those little places that makes cooking my way through a Montreal winter into something I almost look forward to in summer. -

A great place to buy inexpensive paprika, they make it themselves and have regular and an amazing smoke one. Other than that they make a variety of very yummy sandwiches that are dirt cheap, filling and crave worthy. The location is easy to get to and the staff is not only really nice but they offer great recipes if you take the time chat

A bad day along Saint-Laurent!
I stepped into the joint only to be harassed by a man panhandling for money... INSIDE the store. What the??? Why would a business owner allow this?
After brushing him aside, I looked at the wall of dried sausages hoping to spot my prize. I wanted to bring home a nice selection on the plane home to Vancouver.
Wait!
What the??? again. Staring back at me was a nice coating of blue mold around one of the ends of the sausages.
Au Revoir! -

Top-notch Hungarian sausages, smoked or otherwise, are the specialty here. Recommended: Debreceni, Frankfurters, Hungarian bacon, and their spicy Hungarian sausage sandwich (especially if you get it with sauerkraut and spicy mustard) served hot on a Portuguese bun.
A throwback to a time when this stretch of St-Laurent was a bustling Hungarian enclave (among other things). -
