I live down past Panier and drive by it almost everyday. I always thought it was a bread store - I mean, isn't pain, French for bread? Okay, so my spelling is off. But, nonetheless I thought Panier was a bread store. One day, looking for some baguettes, I stopped there and went inside. I literally stopped in my tracks and looked around in awe. Panier is NOT a bread store. It doesn't sell anything bread-like at all. It is a wonderful place with shelves of jams and jellies, shelves of tea, many different kinds of coffee bean, over 100 brands of hot sauces, gift cards, stationary items, Christmas decorations... Panier blew me away. The prices are a little higher than your local large grocery chain, but there is so much choice and so many one-of-a-kind products. They had these habenero flavoured kettle fried potato chips to die for! If you are linquistically challenged like me and haven't been to Panier yet because you don't need bread, then give your head a shake and go there today!

This store isn't up my alley, but I'm aware that it has a number of items that would interest many consumers. They have a good selection of items that would be fitting gifts for women or men with discerning tastes. They have a wide selection of fairly high quality snacks, jams, teas and coffee. They also have lots of gift baskets if you're looking for a quick gift idea. In the back, they have an annoying array of gifts that border on gag gifts. Like the rest of the items in the store, these "funny" gifts are overpriced. That's mainly my big complaint. I know a number of people who would enjoy some of the products this place has to offer, but I can't bring myself to pay the high prices. I'd prefer to go to farmer's markets or some shops in the Byward Market to buy local, high quality preservatives and snacks for much more reasonable prices.
Still, check this place out if you think you may be interested. It's quite popular, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
