Imagine the best outdoor farmer market, add a shaded food court with cuisine from all over the world, then a band playing live Spanish guitar, and every fresh vegetable and fruit available to buy, all on a perfect sunny day. Situated right off the street, in one the best and busiest parts of old Montreal, right next to Little Italy.... More

Fresh, colourful & plenty of variety. Not only a market but surrounded by small shops, vendors of all ethnicities. Parking is not free but your best bet is to gonby foot, bike or park around the neighbourhood if you annot avoid the car.

This was the first time my husband and I had been to the Jean-Talon Market. We spent an afternoon wandering around through the main building and also in the stores surrounding it. There's a nice little chocolate store at the main (south) entrance with very tempting goodies - my husband picked up a little box of chocolate-dipped cookies there. I... More

Large market with produce, meats, cheese baked goods, maple and apple products etc. Very nice vendors and high quality goods all around. Doesn't feel touristy. Came in March and there was still plenty of action. You must stop by Fromagerie Hamel before leaving. We sampled several Quebecois cheeses and they were all terrific!

some times when we go to Montreal and we know we are going to go to that market we bring a cooler and buy stuff frozen and fresh and fill up our cooler. Local farmers that showcase their product, espacially this cheese vendor that sells non-pasturrise cheese, IT'S awesome!!!!!!

This market was one of the highlights of our short trip to Montreal. The fruits and vegetables were outstanding and the prices were great. We stocked up on cans of pure maple syrup and brought some bottles of maple home for gifts. I had a fresh fruit smoothie and my husband had some pork tacos that were incredible. The market... More
