The selection is not gigantic and it's not the kind of place to linger about, I like the overall effect for me since I just buy a couple of items and go, rather than lounging and buying everything left and right. The service is super friendly and always with a smile Always worth a stop when passing by.

There are a couple small fruiteries and grocery stores in this area but this is by far the best. No…read morecrazy price markups, the prices here are all fair. The veggies and fruit are always in great shape, no hidden half rotten ones in the packages. The tiny shop is stacked with all kinds of treasures, delicious pesto, oils, teas, chocolates, pastas. The best thing about this shop though is the owners and staff. They are so warm and friendly, they pop their heads around the corner to see if you need help finding things, they wave when you walk by, and they are always outside making their fruit displays shine. Super happy to have them in the neighbourhood!

La Moutonniere is a small little creamery that offers semi-firm cheese made with a blend of cow…read more(Jersey cows) and ewe's (La Moutonniere's flock) milk. You can visit their creamery, but I had a chance to visit their Jean-Talon Market location - the cheese with the green label refers to the milk of the animals grazing in the mountain pastures during the growing season; the label that has a snow-covered landscape refers that the milk is from the animals that were fed on hay during the winter months. All the cheeses are aged for 2-4 months in the creamery's underground cave and comes with a natural rind; pressed cheeses, blue vein cheeses, fresh, cheeses, brined cheeses, soft rind cheeses, and even other dairy products (such as yogurts, sheep's milk, and cream) are offered. I thought the cheeses were rich and creamy with a subtle hint of acidity from the sheep's milk - they're pretty delicious, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a version that you'll like! If you're in the market to purchase some sheep, they also have ewes and rams for sale (Canadian Livestock Records Corporation-registered); they also have woollen knit socks, comforters, pillows, berets, and even raw fleece for customized spinning/dye-ing. +fromagerie located in the Jean-Talon market +cow & ewe's milk semi-firm cheeses :D +located across the gelato place

I'll come right out and admit that I am a transplant from Brooklyn and yes, I've probably brought a…read morelittle of the stereotypical neurosis and taste for fancy things from NYC along with me. Since arriving in Montréal, I've been on the hunt for some milk from grass-fed animals. Cows, goats, buffalo, sheep - just give me milk from some kind of ruminant that eats grass instead of grain. Thanks to La Moutonnière, I've found it. From professed 100% Happy Sheep, La Moutonnière makes and sells milk, butter, and several types of cultured cheeses and yogurts, all from grass-and-hay fed sheep on their farm in Quebec. I tried their dairy products for the first time this week and am very impressed. Of course it's a bit more expensive than your industrial Québon/Kraft Foods versions but you know what you're getting in this case. La Moutonnière also sells wool, soap, and very reasonably priced lamb meat (I'm guessing those particular lambs aren't 100% happy sheep). The staff are wonderful too - I asked for sheep butter today and was told they were out. About five minutes later, they sought me out in a completely different section of the market to let me know they'd located some butter for me. A great first impression. Find them at the southeast corner of the Marché Jean-Talon, just across from Qui Lait Cru.
