| - Fromageries are about the only place you can get good cheese in Montreal. All the grocery stores have really shitty selections. For all the fromageries I've been to, La Fromagerie Hamel is absolutely my favorite in Montreal. They have a grand selection and good prices. There are a couple other fromageries around this one in particular, but they are not as large or well staffed as Fromagerie Hamel, so don't waste your time.
I struggled on the rating between 4 and 5 stars because there is a cheese from France I really like, which oddly they have no idea what I'm talking about (brebirousse d'argental). However, I can go to Ottawa, an English speaking area I might add, and get exactly this cheese. On the other hand, they had variations of soft ripened sheep's cheese similar, so I can at least get that. At the end of the day there is no better option in Montreal, so I'm sticking with a 5 star rating.
Nevertheless, this is the best fromagerie I've been to and by far my favorite fromagerie in Montreal.
