I suggest going when it's nice out, but even on a cold, rainy day at the end of November, this is a great place to check out. It's just a few blocks away from the metro, and you can spend a good couple of hours there. I wish we had been there during the day because when it rains, there... more

Don't just go for the food shopping. Take the time to nibble and snack your way around the entire area. On weekends the stalls along the edges of the main building and side streets offer a variety of sandwiches, kebabs and lots and lots of samples to try. Try bison or duck sausages on a skewer, then perhaps the spicy... more

Just a 10 minute walk from the Jean Talon Metro stop is this incredibly diverse market. It has a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, bakeries and other food oriented shops you won’t be disappointed with. Depending on when you visit, the options on fresh fruit will change. We visited in September and the berries (blueberries, raspberries... more

Open just about every day of the year until 4 pm, this market has everything: poultry, pork, beef, lamb, seafood, smoked, cured, raw, sliced, marinated, cooked on a spit, steamed, braised fried and/or put in a pie. Then there's the artisenal breads, pizzas, sausages, cheeses, exotic spices, eggs, specialty shops and the veritable rainbow of beautifully fresh herbs, fruits and... more

This is a must do, if you love food. My dear husband, the foodie, was having a melt-down because there was no way to haul it all home or to cook it. That being said, we grazed all day in the market. Samosas. Beef pies. Mexican soup. Duck sausages on a stick. The most amazing cheesecake. Fish and chips. Croc... more

We took the Metro to this market on our second day in Montreal. A fruit and vegetable art gallery, everything was displayed so perfectly! The colors were so intense. Many stands had bits to taste. We took so many pictures. One truck had fresh corn which they had cooked and sold by the ear, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness! We gathered a wonderful... more

This is a little off the beaten path, but where we were told the locals shop. The colors of all the fruits and vegetables really are spectacular. It is a huge Farmer's Market where you can buy cheese, fruits, vegetables, nuts, smoked meat, hot peppers...you name it. Most stands have plates piled high with samples of what they're selling, so... more

Must-see? Cheap? Being from Toronto, we have 2 equivalents: one is St. Lawrence Market, and the other is Kensington Market plus Chinatown nearby. Both places also offer fresh produce and lunch selections at cheaper prices. For lunch at JTM, our family of 4 had to shell out $18 for 2 average size crepes (tomato/egg/chese & onion/mushroom/chese). A six-pack of Montreal-style... more

I had a little difficulty finding this place (you should always carry a map or make good use of the displays outside metro stations), but once there it is great! It's quite a large area, mostly covered, with various displays of fruit, vegetables and plants surrounded by buildings from which are sold meats and fish and all sorts. There are... more
