Finding keto groceries in Montreal looks different than it did a few years ago. Several specialty stores and products from the original version of this guide are no longer available, so I have rebuilt this resource around places that are easier to verify and shopping habits that remain useful even when brands change.
You do not need to buy everything from a store labelled “keto.” Most of a practical low-carb grocery basket can come from an ordinary supermarket: eggs, meat or fish, lower-carbohydrate vegetables, unsweetened dairy if it works for you, olives, nuts, seeds, oils and simple pantry ingredients.
This guide was last fact-checked on September 8, 2026. Inventory, prices and opening hours change, so check a store’s website or call before making a special trip.
Montreal-area places worth checking
These are not endorsements of every item they sell. A store can carry natural, organic or “keto” products that do not match your preferences, budget or dietary needs.
Keto Épicerie Montréal
Keto Épicerie Montréal is still operating at 7586 rue St-Hubert, based on the information I confirmed and the store’s current website. It is the one dedicated keto grocery I have retained from the original guide.
I am not recommending specific products, prices or delivery terms because those details change. Check the official website or contact the store before making a special trip.

Avril Supermarché Santé
Avril is a Quebec health-food supermarket with Montreal-area stores and online ordering. Its website includes a ketogenic shopping filter and offers store pickup. This can make it a useful place to compare specialty baking ingredients, refrigerated products and packaged low-carbohydrate options.
Before visiting, choose your preferred store online and confirm that the item is actually available there.
Before visiting: select a current location and confirm pickup or inventory through the official site. I have not included specific product recommendations because selection changes by location and over time.

Rachelle Béry
Rachelle Béry currently lists several grocery and health-space locations across Montreal, including addresses on Beaubien, Saint-Laurent, Saint-Denis, Sainte-Catherine and elsewhere. Selection varies, so use the official locator and select a store before relying on online inventory or pricing.
It may be useful for specialty pantry items, natural-food alternatives and ingredients that are harder to find in a small neighbourhood supermarket.

Bulk Barn and independent bulk-food stores
Bulk shopping can be practical for buying a small amount of an unfamiliar ingredient before committing to a full package. Depending on the location, useful categories may include nuts, seeds, unsweetened coconut, spices, cocoa, nut flours and sweeteners.
Read the bin label carefully. If you have an allergy or need strict ingredient controls, ask about cross-contact and packaged alternatives rather than assuming that a bulk bin is appropriate.

Your regular supermarket
Metro, IGA, Provigo/Maxi, Walmart and Costco can cover much of a straightforward grocery list. A marketing label should be treated as a starting point—not the final decision.
Look first for versatile foods you will actually use:
- eggs, poultry, meat, fish and tofu;
- leafy greens, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms and other vegetables you enjoy;
- plain yogurt, cheese or unsweetened dairy alternatives when appropriate for you;
- olives, avocado, nuts and seeds;
- olive oil, avocado oil, herbs, spices and simple sauces;
- frozen vegetables and minimally sweetened pantry staples.
Buying familiar ingredients is often less expensive and more flexible than building a cart around specialty snacks.

Jean-Talon Market and neighbourhood food shops
Montreal’s public markets and independent shops can be useful for vegetables, cheese, meat, fish, spices and bulk ingredients. Aliments Merci is currently listed by the official Montreal public-markets site at Jean-Talon Market, but it should be presented as a natural-food ingredient stop—not as a dedicated keto store.

How to check a packaged product
“Keto,” “natural” and “sugar-free” on the front of a package do not tell the whole story. Turn the package around and check:
- Serving size. Nutrition numbers apply to the stated amount, which may be smaller than the portion you would normally eat.
- Carbohydrate and fibre. Compare products using the same serving size. Do not rely only on a front-of-package net-carbohydrate claim.
- Ingredient list. Ingredients are listed by weight. Check for sweeteners, starches or fillers you were not expecting.
- Protein, fat and sodium. A low-carbohydrate number does not automatically make a packaged food nutritious or suitable for you.
- Your own needs. Allergies, medications, digestive tolerance, pregnancy, diabetes and other health considerations may change what is appropriate. Ask an appropriate healthcare professional when needed.

A simple Montreal keto-shopping plan
Before shopping, plan two or three meals and make a short list under four headings:
- Protein: what will anchor each meal?
- Vegetables: which fresh or frozen vegetables will you realistically prepare?
- Fats and flavour: which oils, herbs, spices, olives, cheese or sauces will make the meals satisfying?
- Convenience: which one or two prepared items will genuinely save time?
Start at your usual grocery store. Visit a health-food or bulk store only for ingredients you could not find. This reduces special trips and makes the routine easier to maintain.

Why this guide keeps the store list short
The former version listed Ketotteria, but I have confirmed that it is closed. I have removed it rather than keeping it for keyword coverage or nostalgia. I also avoid calling another business a dedicated keto store unless that status can be verified.
