Chez Latina

Delicious little neighborhood grocery store and butcher shop with a different name. I’d like to hear the story of why this place is called Chez Latina. I came here by chance as I like to explore and peruse the Mille end neighbourhood.
Definitely a high end place with many prepared meals, cheese and a great looking small time butcher shop. Not a place I’d shop at every week (unless I was to win a lottery or get a big raise at work) as the pricing here definitely is a premium. It sure is a great place to zip up the fridge condiment selection or treat yourself to some specialty items. I have to take it easy as the fridge door in my place is full and I have a rule to make room before I buy more. They do have some high quality jarred items plus canned, spices, jams and jellies plus sauces.
These neighbourhood grocery stores are a dying breed but a good local following can keep this place going (which looks like the case) for many years. I look forward to checking it out again!

My partner and I stopped off at Latina because we needed some cheese, and overall, this is a great little place neighborhood market.
This certainly is a local place, not really a tourist destination, though we were tourists. Latina is kind of small inside, but packed with delicious foods. They offer mostly French wines and French cheeses, and of a very high quality.
It’s basically like a cheese shop and a butchery put together. There wasn’t a parking lot, just street parking. At the end of the day, I was a big tourist and bought one of the reusable bags to bring home as a souvenir. :)

Latina has many specialty items that I appreciate very much when I visit Montréal and am staying nearby. They have an extensive selection of olive oils and vinegars, many frozen meals that I assume they prepare in-​house as well as an extensive array of cheeses and meats that again are butchered on site. It’s definitely a bit expensive and I was disappointed in the cheese that I selected from the case that had some extra mold (not the good kind) growing on it and which I had to trim myself — that’s something that a good cheese department should keep tabs on, in my opinion.
I like the fresh pasta and the Latina sauces — they’re both very tasty and make for a good, quick and easy meal. Limited organic selection but that seems pretty common in Montréal.

J, aime cette petite épicerie malgré ses caisses mal organisées. Cher mais toutest de qualité supérieure. La viande est exceptionnelle tout comme les soupes, poissons et charcuterie

Various interesting stuff including chips fruits special beer … Bought vanilla flavor beer and maple bacon chips

Cette épicerie propose les produits classiques que l’on retrouvera dans bons nombres d’épiceries fines: fruits et légumes, cafés vrac, huiles d’olives, de truffes, de noisettes, vinaigres de tout poil, etc. Là où elle se démarque c’est sur sa sélection de champignons frais (chanterelles, trompettes de la mort, etc.), de pates fraiches italiennes, de biscuits européens, de saucissons (et même du chorizo!) et enfin de plats cuisinés sur place. Les prix sont dans la moyenne et l’endroit est plutôt sympa. A visiter si vous êtes dans le coin.

I wouldn’t say there was anything that was super memorable here, but it was good. We had been wandering in Mile End for a while and decided to stop and get some lunch at somewhere where we might be able to get a salad. I had a prosciutto sandwich and a potato salad with a soda. It was a bit expensive for what it was, but it was worth it.
The staff were friendly and they have a nice little patio so we sat out side and enjoyed the warm fall.
