    Jean-Talon market
    by vibi68
    North Americans do not shop for food as often as Europeans for the good reason that we are used to store lots through hard and cold Winter times, come Spring it is never a habit that dwellers take up, for summer being so short the custom doesn't have enough time to sink in. Nevertheless, we do appreciate fresh products and are very lucky that our markets stay open all year round. Of course, the outside part disappears when frost knocks at our doors, but in the inside part always offers all we need. Montreal counts four large public markets: Jean-Talon, Maisonneuve, Atwater and Lachine; they are open all week long, usually from 8h00 to 6h00, and later on Thursday and Friday evenings. A few other smaller markets exist such as the Mount-Royal metro station market, the Rosemont Christmas tree market in the winter. For the interested, our typical produce count blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, maple sirup, corn on the cob (See local custom), rhubarb, deer meat, ostrich meat, game and many more others.

    On the edge of Little Italy and in the centre of the city, there is a magnificent outdoor market called Jean Talon market. I's not sure exactly how big it is, but it covers at least 2 city blocks. Open all year round, the market has dozens of stands offering up gorgeous fruits and vegetables for very reasonable prices. There are also covered shops and cafes all the way around the perimeter of the market. Some of the other shops offered strictly olive oil, some strictly tea, and another dedicated to mostly olives! The cafes had sandwiches, pastas, gelato, coffee and so much more. Even if you don't have anything to buy, Jean Talon market is a wonderful place to take a stroll and observe all the bright colors and people.

    Markets: Marché Bonsecours in Old Montréal

    • Marché Bonsecours. - Montreal
    Marché Bonsecours.
    by tpal
    A visit to Old Montréal will inevitably bring you face to face with the grand Marché Bonsecours. Built in 1847, the building originally was the Parliament of Upper and Lower Canada. Later it became the City Hall of Montréal until 1878 when it became the main public market for the city. Now its use seems dramatically scaled back as the home for about fifteen upscale shops.

    The interior is sleek and contemporary in a sort of high-tech style with lots of stainless steel and exposed architectural ductwork. While interesting, it left me feeling as though the designer had ignored the heritage of the building and presented a retail space that could have been built anywhere. Carol, however, was quick to point out that the design of the toilet rooms was beautifully executed...more than compensating for any other deficiency.

    The shops themselves are worth a look if you are interested high fashion clothing and jewelry as well as some very nice ceramics and high end artwork.

    There are many boutiques and shops in this Market. In the winter it is open from 10 am to 6pm. There are many high end boutiques (Art, Jewlery, leather) as well as restaurants and tourist related stores. This market was originally opened in 1847. It was built in the classical Revival style. The building was used as City Hall until 1878.

    A wonderful market place near the Lachine Canal. A delight that I enjoyed thouroughly growing up just down the street. Fresh produce are sold within the large old building and outside when it is summer.

    Beautifull big market with fruits, veggies, meat, fishes, flowers, spices and all. Best time to go is during fall when pumkins are everywhere and colors and odors fills the air.

    Marche Jean Talon
    I think it is the biggest market in Montreal- great if you are living here or at least staying for a while and perhaps living in one of the res where you have to cook for yourself. Fresh fruits, vegetables, plants etc.
