Le Panier is my favorite gift store in Montreal. It won an award as “the best gift store in Canada”  so others agree with me. It is chock full of gourmet food items,  kitchenware, jewelry, retro candy, pet stuff, kids toys, and fun gadgets. If you can’t decide what to buy, gift baskets are easily assembled from the jams, hot sauces, condiments, Rogers chocolates, scented items, and much, much more.

Look for the little tasting bowls and crackers to try out new products, oogle the candy corner or feast on their own 5 year old cheddar, sausages made by the Mennonites, and their homemade fudge.
