Mark Carney just declared this Montreal Italian grocery store the best in Canada

First it was a visit to this beloved Italian restaurant in Montreal’s Griffintown.

Now, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has named Montreal’s favourite authentic market the best in the country.

Providing Montrealers with authentic, homemade and superior quality products  for over 70 years, this Italian specialty supermarket is known for sharing Italy’s culinary excellence with Montreal.

Founded in 1954, over 25,000 products can be found on the shelves of Milano Fruiterie.

Browse the specialized fresh produce departments: cheese and charcuterie, bakery, butcher, fruits and vegetables, as well as the on-site prepared meal counter (pasta fresca and much more).

Or discover imported products such as the various oils and vinegars and coffees.

A message on Fruiterie Milano’s Instagram reads:
