Épicerie J.A. Moisan — Attraction in Quebec

Had a very terrible experience here. We walked around and bought $60 worth of groceries, including prepared food items for our lunch. After we paid at the register, which is in the front room, we sat down at their little tables in the adjacent room to eat. Just as we were finishing, a man who works there came up and demanded to see our receipt. He said that another employee questioned whether we had paid. Since there multiple rooms in this old fashioned store, it seemed odd, but my husband searched the grocery bag (their bag, which they gave us when we paid, ahem), and couldn't find the receipt. Instead of saying "sorry to bother you, sir", he then continued to doubt us (oh, and did I say we were with our twelve year old daughter?!). So my husband walked with him to find the cashier he had paid. When the cashier acknowledged we had paid, the man from the store did not apologize. He instead said to my husband "you should keep your receipt." So, much as I would like to recommend this place, I cannot. I have never been treated as...

A Québec City must-visit, especially for the foodies and history lovers out there. Huge selection of products that reflect the local terroir. From cured meats, to cheeses, to pâtés, to fresh produce, and everything in between, J.A. Moisan is a foodie paradise. Staying in Québec City for work, I came by a few times to grab some snacks for a picnic, or mini DIY charcuterie tray for my room. Fresh crusty bread baked just across the street is on offer. There's a great selection of local Québec beers, ciders and wines to pair with your selection, or to take back home with you (along with many local spices and preserves; also great souvenirs).

The store also stocks a range of French items, like Petit Marseillaise bath products, nougat from Provence, and much more. Charming place to visit in...

When I worked there and whenever I go to Quebec City, this was my first place to go to. The ambience by itself and the selection is unparalleled anywhere else in Canada. However, on my last visit i had to stop short of buying all the items I wanted to bring back because of the very arrogant and unfriendly male behind the deli counter. Not speaking French, he treated me like some inferior being and I just stopped and paid for the few items I had at that time. The lady at the till was making up for it in friendliness, (she told me she was from France) Still, I did not get the items or experience I was looking for and will try to find a farmers market where they are hopefully...
