Why Guests Love This
Adonis is a destination grocery experience rather than a routine errand. The prepared food counter alone is worth the drive to Gatineau — fresh-baked baklava, warm manakish, rotisserie chicken with garlic sauce, and a mezze selection that rivals dedicated restaurants. Guests with extended stays stock their rooms with olives, cheeses, fresh bread, and dips at prices well below what downtown shops charge. Families appreciate the bakery and pastry section, and anyone curious about Middle Eastern cuisine finds an accessible introduction across every aisle.
