In a world of overhyped health trends and “greenwashed” grocery chains, it’s rare to find a place that actually walks the talk.
Aliments Merci isn’t just another natural food store. It’s the go-to destination in Quebec for anyone serious about eating clean, living consciously, and supporting a business that genuinely puts people and planet first.
With over 30 years of experience, this family-run company has become a quiet force in the province’s organic food scene. From their shelves packed with certified organic, vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO products to their bulk bins and compostable packaging, everything about Aliments Merci screams one thing: respect – for your health, your wallet, and the environment.
A Simple Mission: Good Food That’s Good for You
Let’s be honest. We’ve all walked into a so-called “natural” store only to find overpriced snacks and confusing labels.
At Aliments Merci, things are different. The mission is clear: make healthy, organic food accessible to everyone, not just to the elite few. Their team carefully curates high-quality, clean-label products that actually live up to what they claim.

This isn’t just about stocking shelves. It’s about helping people eat better – every day, without compromise.
A Market That Feels Like a Community
One of the first things you notice at Aliments Merci is the vibe. It doesn’t feel like a store trying to sell you things. It feels like walking into a local hub where the staff knows what they’re talking about and actually wants to help.
Every team member is trained as a healthy eating advisor. That means they’re not just stocking shelves. They’re answering questions, guiding first-time shoppers, and recommending the best product for your needs – whether you’re vegan, keto, or just trying to feed your family better.
It’s personal. It’s real. And it’s rare.
Real Organic, Not Fake Marketing
Here’s what sets Aliments Merci apart: they don’t just throw the word organic around.
Their operations are certified by Ecocert Canada, one of the strictest organic certification bodies in the country. That applies to everything – from warehousing and packaging to how their products are labeled and handled.
So when they say organic, they mean it.
Waste Less. Eat Better.
Aliments Merci was ahead of the curve with the zero-waste movement. Long before it was trendy, they were encouraging shoppers to bring their own containers, offering bulk discounts, and reducing plastic wherever possible.
Every store features bulk silos, in-store nut butter grinders, and ecological discounts for customers who participate. It’s not just a store feature. It’s a culture.

A Brand That Grows With Integrity
It’s easy to stay small and ethical. It’s much harder to grow and stay true to your values.
Aliments Merci has done both.
With four locations – in Montréal-Nord, Marché Jean-Talon, Promenade Ontario, and Marché Maisonneuve – they’ve expanded their footprint without selling out. Every location maintains the same uncompromising standards, the same community-first energy, and the same goal: to bring honest food to real people.
And unlike big chains, they’re not here to push trends. They’re here to support your health – whether that means offering quality pantry staples, hard-to-find superfoods, or everyday essentials you can actually trust.
Bottom Line: They Actually Care
It’s not flashy. It’s not fake. It’s not corporate.
Aliments Merci is built on values – the kind you can feel when you walk in, talk to the staff, and scan the shelves. It’s a place for people who are tired of guessing what’s in their food and ready to shop somewhere that gives a damn.
