“IGA Atwater is a large store with an impressive selection of products. Whether you're looking for fresh produce, specialty items, or everyday essentials, this IGA has it all. The variety and quality make it a great place to shop.
However, it's unfortunate that the store is located in a mall that feels a bit unsafe at times. While the IGA itself is excellent, the surrounding area could use some improvement to make customers feel more secure.

“A hidden gem in Ville Emard. The staff are amazingly kind and knowledgable about their products. The food and drinks are ever changing, and always to my delight.”
“Very good butcher shop, the meat is good quality, the staff is very knowledgeable and will always advise you and tell you where their meat is sourced from. The prices are fair and a lovely touch is that you can also buy a variety of local products including a nice variety of hot sauces!”
“What other convenience store would serve you the best breakfast sandwich you've ever had? This place is incredible, part of my daily routine and everyone that works there is welcoming!”
“Staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. The store is clean and has a great vibe. My only criticism is that I am a fan of IPA, and there were few options that were not citrus flavored.”
“Excellent. I usually have a strong dislike of any store purporting to be a “general store” or “dep” but in reality is just a super expensive, extremely selective boutique. I thought this was one of them. It is not.
Pricey, sure. But a great neighbourhood staple filled with local goods, bulk coffee and snacks and soaps, proper staples of bread, cheese, some meats, and a huge beer selection.
This place is also one of the only places to get a decent selection of Quebec ciders and wine, and they have a solid non alcoholic selection as well.
Above all else though the staff are all super cool, happy to chat and help, and they’re open almost every day of the year. A+”
“I feel lucky to have this place within walking distance of my house. It has a great selection and a very knowledgeable staff. The recommendations are always great and when you ask for advice, they'll take the time to ask your likes and dislikes. Highly recommend!”
“Went in this cute little store today with a friend that was picking up her gluten free beer and I was surprised to see all the different options of beer, alcohol free beer and hot sauces. Also a bunch of good quality, local products. The owner was very, very friendly and helpful.”
“Excellent selection of microbrew beers, a few non-alcohol seltzers, plus some local charcuterie items and frozen foods. Quality Québec wines that SAQ doesn't carry.”
“There is a strange separation between “rich” people and “poor” people by the simple fact that the pantry space is upstairs. Otherwise I love this branch!! Lots of products that you can't find elsewhere and the employees are very nice!”
“We went to SAQ Sélection-De Maisonneuve - City Councillors located at 425, Boulevard De Maisonneuve on Old Montreal. The selection was pretty good, although we were looking for a wine we were served on the VIA Rail Train (CreekSide - Sauvignon Blanc) and they did not have it. ??
We were looking for a magnum and was shocked to find out they don’t make magnums for inexpensive bottles of wine ($30 and under) they ONLY make magnums (1.5 litre) for $75 bottles and more (up to $300 for a magnum!! It had better come with a sommelier for that price, just sayin!!).
Overall, the magnum experience was a little rich for our tourism budget so we settled on a $20 bottle of Pinot Grigio (okay maybe 2 bottles … well, it might have been 4 - final count!). Cheers ??”
“Passed by on February 15 to buy a few bottles and an advisor (unfortunately I didn't know his name, but he has an armadillo sleeve on his left arm) welcomed me and took the time to advise me. I really appreciated his courtesy and kindness :) Thank you!”
“The french guy who works there really knows wine and he is passionate about it. I feel as if they keep a very nice selection of French and Italian wines since he works there”
“Love the service here. I have received so many good recommendations, on everything, wine, gin, whiskey, you name it. They're super knowledgeable, and they have a great variety of products even though the store isn't that big, not just the basic stuff. They're also open late which is a bonus.”
“Great time! I'm delighted with this branch, they have everything we need, not just beers! The employees are very nice and welcoming as well as friendly.
They have several offers on their breads, will be perfect for our French toast recipes!
PLEASE NOTE they only take cash or Interac!
They open until 11 p.m. WOW magnificent ?
I highly recommend this place, good luck!”
“I love love this SAQ! ALEX is a rock star and needs to be promoted! I visited 2 weeks ago and will be going back!The whole place is large and clean and adk for Alex he will recommend anything within your price point and tastes! Highly recommend this SAQ!”
“There is a big variety of drinks ? to choose from. I recommend this SAQ to all.
The only thing missing is me working with the respectful staff who work there. I'd would be my pleasure to work there.
Cheers ? ? to all.”

“The best selection of beers from Quebec microbreweries on the Plateau and surrounding areas! Very friendly staff who give good recommendations.
Beautiful atmosphere, with a large choice of ciders, wines and original snacks. In short, I highly recommend!”

“Excellent sandwhich à la saucisse. Choix respectable de saucisses et de garnitures. Servis dans un petit pain baguette frais. Beau, bon, pas cher et rapide. Je recommande!”
“I had a great service! I asked the worker William for a wine i didn't remember. I said it's a wine from California and there's a celebrity name on it. He instantly said: Francis Ford Coppola, i said yes! He said: Directors cut? I said: yes! Wow! We high fived and i thought amazing customer service! This guy knows his wine names. I will definitely go again. Great service!”
“A good store that you can find almost everything even if it's not really all the products that you can find in Europe, like the good DIMPLE scotch etc.....but with salespeople who know these products well”

“Really nice convenience store? It feels like a luxury 7/11 or Oxxo. Large selection of local wines and beers, cookies, chips, drinks, truly fresh foods that can be grabbed to go, coffee, candies, and so much more!”
“Don't judge the book by the cover, despite the size of the store they do have good options there, from all tastes and budgets. I followed the suggestion of the employees and found two decent wines (keep in mind I am a beer person, so skip the judgement on my taste for wine), Tru Blau, it was surprisingly good.”
“One of the better SAQ's. Just Got some Spanish Wines for the festive season! June 11 2023 got a Nice Chateau Coufran 2010 and some Really Nice Zenato Amarone's 2018. There was supposed to be a 2016 Zenato Reserva for me as well but they must have hid it when I got There! I Actually called ahead to see if they had the Reserva and they told me that they couldn't put it aside for me( which is rare when comes to SAQ) but that it was in their stocks? So off I went got there and no Reserva!??”
“First time at this SAQ, it's clean and organized but most of all the staff I met was so knowledgeable. We were looking for the barefoot Moscato but since they don't get US products he recommended something similar and honestly what a find it was so delicious. Thank you so much.”
“I visited a liquor store, and the gentleman working there patiently answered all my questions about wine. Although I eventually decided not to buy wine, he was still very helpful. The cashier lady kindly explained how I could get a rewards card. Overall, I am satisfied with my shopping experience at this store.”
“It's a small store with a small selection, but they still manage to carry an excellent variety of wines and spirits. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We were looking for a red wine to go with BBQ, for a mid range price, and we purchased the recommended wine. Bang on perfect. They know their wines.”
“The guys are very knowledgeable, something you rarely find elsewhere, especially in the wine sector.
Hats off guys!
And thank you for your help!”
“Wide selection available in almost every category conceivable. As usual for this activity sector, prices vary according to the type, age, origin and quality of the beverage. Pleasant space. Found the staff knowledgeable and helpful. Top notch.”
