| - I just visited Adonis recently now that Provigo at Ste. Catherine O / Fort has closed. I am still a regular PA shopper, but Adonis does have certain benefits.
Adonis sells ST. VIATEUR BAGELS. This is the only place to get real bagels in this section of downtown, believe it or not. The next closest bagel source I have found is Fou d'Ici near Place-des-Arts which sells Fairmount bagels. Second, Adonis has a great little bakery with fresh butter croissants, chocolatines, and other little baked goods. They also have plenty of prepared food (salads, etc), as well as very cheap sushi.
They have nice fresh produce (more expensive than PA), basics like milk and eggs (again, more expensive than PA), and extensive meat, fish, and cheese counters. Much more selection than PA and lots of helpful staff.
Overall, a more satisfying and complete shopping experience but without the questionably cheap prices of PA.
