To market to market

Rated this place:

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.

Market

Rated this place:

This market offers a ton of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, breads, and other foods. It's a great place to go on a nice day and in my opinion is rivaled only by Granville Island in Vancouver.

Markets to buy fruit

Rated this place:

A great outdoor market. Free samples of cucumbers, tomatoes, peaches, plums etc. Also a wonderful cheese store called lait cru where you can get some killer 8-year-old Quebec cheddar which can only be described as knee-buckling.. Go during the summer if you can.
