To need help with understanding Canadian stores

[shovetheholly]

Aargh, I need help.

I want to send a naice food hamper-type thing to a couple of friends in Montreal who are really struggling financially and emotionally. Their marriage and health are basically taking the toll of two difficult full-time jobs and a two year old.

Do you think I can find any info online about who sells posh treat food or does delivery? It seems like Canadian stores just don't have a web presence? I'm looking for something that would be the equivalent of John Lewis/Bettys. I want to buy locally because delivery to Canada from UK seems to be astronomical.

HALP!

Try using amazon.ca and search for groceries and gourmet foods. It's all in Canadian dollars and delivered there so you save astronomical costs of sending from here.

You can pretty much get everything.

Have you tried google.ca?
These places seem to do the kind of thing you're after...

Thank you so much! Is there a Canadian equivalent of Fortnum and Masons or Waitrose? I want to send something naice and posh to spoil them, but I have no idea where to get it!

Hello I am originally from Montreal.
Lufa Farms are based in Montreal and deliver organic and local products.

Ogilvy is the poshest store there I think. Iirc they have a bagpiper in at the end of every day. I don't know if they do food though.

What part of town is your friend in?

there used to be an m&s in Toronto which may ship throughout the country. I dont know if it is still there.
