Good, fresh food and juice everywhere! I just wish that I had extra stomachs for it all! Too bad I couldn't take any plants/flowers back to the US with me. It's very close to the river and there are plenty of places to sit and relax after you get some fresh ice cream! Lots of little stands and cafes. Definitely... More

I live few blocks from the Atwater market. It is an amazing place surrounded with flowers on the Lachine canal. I buy all my meats, veggies and fruits there..and sometimes bread, ah the smell of that bread is worth the trip. Sometimes I just walk to the market to walk around, and i always find something new. It's a beautiful... More

Whenever we are in Montreal, we always stop by the Atwater Market to bring back some yummy goodies. We bring a cooler with us and just load up. Wild boar roasts, all kinds of fabulous sausages, spices, venison, beautiful fruits and vegetables of every kind, coffee... They have a great bakery too, which opens really early, with fresh croissants, pains... More

We came here as part of a tour and thought it was beautiful. We ate lunch at one of the shops. I wish we had more time to look around at everything a little more. If you like farmers markets it is worth the trip. More

Atwater is a great market, plenty of good local produce and meats, a very tasty bakery, and an incredible cheese/craft beer store in La Fromagerie Atwater that may well be my favorite shop in existence. The market is well laid out, easy to get to, and has great variety, at decent prices. It does close a bit early, but even... More

This market has the best meat - French cut - in the city. Fresh local vegetables and fruit, but a bit pricey. If you are a gourmet cook you can find almost everything you need here. During the summer there is new stalls offering food. More

They have coffee, tea, meats, breads, veggies, fruits, and sausages that are of the highest quality for good prices. I was floored by the quality of meats I saw being sold there. The latte I started my trip off with was smooth and tasty as well. I sampled some herb sausage which was AMAZING. It is not mass produced and... More

Try the colored carrots not only beautiful but sweeter than any I have tasted. The tastes and smells were heavenly. I bought my Christmas diner there, along with dessert and the best chocolate in the world! More

We loved this authentic French Market. What choices...cheese, pate, sausage, bread. Great to pick up a picnic lunch or to take food home or to your hotel. If taking food across the border remember that it has to be sealed. More
