To market to market: Delightful indoor/outdoor market located in the heart of Montreal’s Little Italy between Saint-Denis and Saint-Laurent at Jean-Talon.
Pick up some BioBon spreadable artisanal végé pâté from Compton’s own Boutique BioBon at Fromagerie Qui lait cru!?! to accompany your choice of organic Quebec farm cheese. Pick up a slice of Manchego, Spain’s most famous cheese, from Fromagerie Hamel, or a refreshing cone of ice cream or sorbet at Havre aux glaces. If you are feeling particularly carnivorous, choose a couple of cuts from eco-friendly pork butcher Porc Meilleur, or head over to Le Veau Charlevoix to sample some of the 100% Holstein grain and milk-fed veal products, such as liver, tongue, brain, heart or prepared veal such as Osso Bucco, veal sausages, or bavette. Afterwards, stop off for a plate of fried calamari or fish & chips at Poissonnerie Aqua Mare, or grab some flax-fed free range chicken eggs, Québec honey, or maple syrup at Le Capitaine.
After you have finished your grocery shopping, you can stop in for a late lunch or an espresso at one of the nearby Italian restaurants.
