“Small but decent selection of hot ready made foods. Sausages are expensive though. And getting in and out of the parking lot is challenging with so many islands and one ways streets.”
“Good products. Most of the fruits are lower priced and have higher Quality. But some vegetables and some canned are little expensive compared to other store franchises. But still I’m a fan of this place.”
“Was recommended this place for great Portuguese meats when I went there it did not disappoint the owner gave me a great recommendation and tbh I think it's my new favourite chorizo I highly would tell people to come here for quality ?”
“My best place to go buy halal chicken in Ottawa it’s this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and the owner family the husband and wife and his brother are my friends very polite and respectful. This shop is clean me and my brother family we know this place since 2005. I’m Hisham ?✋?the Yemeni Canadian guy ———-”
“Excellent customer service. This owner of this Metro is committed to his community by offering a lot of financial support to organizations helping disadvantaged people. Great service and deals!”
“A myriad of delicious food choices. Their home delivery has a lot of coupons but I noticed some items were not available on the website despite being in store. The shoppers chose good vegetables for me.
You can use the free small baskets inside the store on the left when you enter. They are more maneuverable than big carts and hold a lot. But if you’re shopping alone and can’t carry more than one basket need a big cart, consider bringing a loonie.
Their hot foods are good, especially their cold dishes with chilli that are seran wrapped.
Their Vietnamese subs are good (next to the sushi near the door) sometimes they have the spicy version with a chilli pepper but they tend to put fast.
Their pho broth from Quoc Viet Foods gives you really good tasting pho, just boil the soup mix in a huge pot of water even without beef bones and add cilantro and green onions. Pair it with t and t beef tendon balls, hot pot slices, hoisin sauce, sriracha and lemon and you have homemade pho that will last you for days.”
“Small Caribbean store with very friendly chatty owner (Captain Sunshine ). I wish the selection of fresh fruits and fresher vegetables were available but I know sourcing it can be hard unless you arein Toronto. Did buy a nice Dutch pot and some Jamaican sweet treats. Will be back here again for sure”
“-cons: the parking exit could be quite tricky and unsafe during rush hours.
EDIT: The parking exit is now fixed. The exit is now very safe thanks to an added stop sign and a median.”

2515 Bank St, Ottawa“This store is NO LONGER 24 HRS. They make pizza in the deli that is 13$ for a really large two topping made to order pie. They also sell slices for $3.99. I quite enjoy it! There is also a worker named Keith that is literally the loveliest human being on the planet.”
“Great selection and fresh varieties. Nice large produce center. Fresh large ginger amongst other things. Cheapest Ayran Yogurt drink i have found. Fresh meat section.”
“In Ottawa, this spot is a culinary haven for those in search of authentic and delicious options. From fresh vegetables sourced from Bangladesh to mouthwatering fish, a diverse selection of meats, and an extensive variety of aromatic spices, it offers a delightful experience. I absolutely love it and highly recommend exploring the rich tapestry of flavors available.”

“I was browsing the internet and I usually don't write reviews, but I saw this one and I'm really sorry for some people who leave comments unfairly and maliciously, especially about a store that is incredibly popular in the Glebe area, offers fresh products with reasonable prices (are Whole Foods prices cheaper than Metro's???). The staff is also exceptionally kind and beloved, always helpful and responsible. Especially the person that someone mentioned (Armin), who always helps me with packaging. I will never forget the day I felt ill in the store and how he assisted me!”
“Just a huge shout-out to Yvonne at the hot meal bar! She is so polite and kind! Thank you for always being so nice Yvonne! ?
The food from the hot meal bar is always good, and decently priced! The price was 4.99 for 3 chicken tenders with a side of wedges!”
“PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK EXPIRATION DATE
I have been visiting this store for almost 2 years now, but only for Syriana Sweets (which is phenomenal ?)
What I haven't realized is how awesome this store is!
They have the most welcoming people working here
With a selection of great merchandise
I was absolutely stunned by the prices once I looked closely
They have many deals that you can't find anywhere else
Got 4 lemons for 1$, while I paid 1,5$ for each lemon at produce depo at the same month !!!
I got a pack of six of Barbican for 7 dollars , where I paid 12$ for the same product at Al Sultan Market in South Keys .
And I paid 24$ for the same bag of Mahmoud rice in the Turkish Store !!!
Some of their prices are too good to believe . But also alot of them are about to expire
So please watch the EXPIRATION DATE..
I found this gem hidden their also (Syrian grape molasses)
I'm trying their halal meat department next
I'm so excited to be here”

1675 10th Line Rd, Ottawa“I changed grocery store as your meat is the best . Your Valentin decorations are amazingly beautiful, and your staff very helpful and courteous. Keep the good work.?”
“Although the store is quite small for a Provigo, they have a huge selection of vegan and gluten free PC brand stuff. And let me tell you, it feels good to have good products for cheaper! They taste really good as well. I go there for specific things that no where else has, not even other Provigos! Well done”
“They carry tastee patties ?, frozen and ready to eat. Also their selection of spices, king fish, goat etccc, also actually ready to fry plantains is consistant.”
“We found this place through a random Google search when we were looking for some Filipino items. We were making Kare Kare (peanut stew) and badly needed Bagoong (shrimp paste) and these guys had it!! It's a nice little store and the workers here are super nice. If you need some Filipino items, this store can be your lifeline!”
“Sobeys is usually my go-to grocery store, driving past two grocery stores on my way, but have been disappointed the past couple of weeks, as their flyer did not accompany my Metro and Farm Boy flyers in my Ottawa Citizen.Sitting at a computer going through screens is not as comfortable as sitting on the sofa with a cup or two of morning coffee, circling all the specials.I needed to fill my freezer, as my freezer died, resulting in tossing everything.So, I went through the flyers I received, went for those specials, and then picked up a few things at Sobeys, on the way home.When I can get them, the rib end pork chops are the best at Sobeys.It is a very clean store with friendly staff and losts of choices in prepared salads, fruit and veg, a great deli, bakery, and never had a problem with any meat selection.Hope the Sobey flyers re-appear, as have only shopped at Independent Grocers a couple of times in the past few years, since they stopped their home delivery of flyers.”
“I've been a customer for 30 years. The store has never looked better and there has been a noticeable improvement on the produce aisle ! For example, there were nice baskets of yellow beans for a few weeks this summer which I appreciated ! I sense the store is trying hard and that effort is also appreciated ! Don't hesitate to send some of your business their way !”

1705 Merivale Rd, Nepean“Don't normally shop here, but Loblaws stopped carrying the Pure Life Peach Iced Tea, and I can only find it at Metro now. One of the managers Ian was extremely helpful and nice. I could shop at any Metro, but I'd rather shop here where the staff obviously values their customers.”
“The staff have always been friendly and polite. The products are usually decently stocked and relatively fresh. Overall, it has frequently been a good experience.”
“Huge selection of Middle East groceries, Fresh fish and butchery in the premises. So many olive oil choices that get you dizzy..fresh vegetables, cheeses, dairy products....just great.
Even have a counter with hot Middle East meals, salads and desserts to go or to eat in the cafeteria area.
All and all, prices are right.”
“Just like any other food store, but lately the fresh produce has been of poor quality. It goes bad within a day or two, and they still insist on spraying mist over it to make it look better than it really is.”
8AM - 10PM
3310 McCarthy Rd, Ottawa“This used to be my old neighborhood A&P back in the day, so when I stumbled upon a Metro I wasn't sure what to expect. I was not disappointed at all. This is a clean well kept, well stocked store. We were able to find all the things we were looking for. There is lots of variety and options available. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. There was plenty of parking available and easily accessible for those with mobility issues. There were plenty of carts to use in various sizes and all appealed clean and in good repair. We were especially pleased with some baked cheese bread from their bakery. No long lineups and I will happily be going back to this store!”
“Awesome place to get all your west Indian food needs met. We use this place for trini and Guyanese food items - owner is great at arranging pickup if the specific item isn't in stock.”
