Jean-Talon Market is by far my favourite shopping excursion in Montreal. By shopping, I mean food, not clothes or shoes! I love wandering through the many cheese shops with loads of specialty items from Quebec. Fresh produce is abundant and there's even a little both where you can buy fresh seafood and they'll cook it for you right there. Great... More

We thought it would be more than just a farmer's market. Pretty much just produce & meat with a couple eateries and other unique shops. More

Easy parking - $1.50 for first 90 minutes, $1.75 for each additional 30 min. Lots of free samples for fruits - great prices on things (best price on fiddleheads). First time I ever saw horse meat for sale. Musicians playing while little kids dancing. Quite fun! Convenient bathrooms. Baked goods at one of the stores on the side street were... More

I did some travel planning before we went to Montreal and one of things I like to try to do is go to a local open air market. We decided to go see the Jean talon market. The market is a few blocks from the Metro and the best Metro stop is the Jean-Talon Stop on the orange line. It... More

Best place to go for fresh produce in Montreal. Don't miss the speciality shops for items such as olive oil and vinegar. There are many great places to eat in the area. Doug Hawes More

I love farmers markets and visit every one I can find. This one is fabulous. Real farmers with a wonderful variety of produce. Fabulous displays. An endless parade of samples generously given with no stinginess. Literally a free meal. All the produce stands are in the center and on the outside are quaint stores and restaurants. I will return every... More
