We visited Marche Jean Talon on a Monday morning during our Montreal-Quebec city summer vacation…read more From the variety of shops, to the quality of produce, it absolutely blew us away! Can't believe it's open all day every day; wish we had anything close to this in our neighborhood. Street parking was easy to find on a weekday morning, and the market was pretty quiet when we arrived just before 10 AM. We split a rocket, goat cheese, walnut panini on ciabatta, which was delicious. I also tried a few cheeses at the extensive cheese shop, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I could have spent hours at the marketing roaming, admiring all the vibrant, fresh produce, and watching local artists sketch and paint the floral section -- which is stunning. It was a great place to buy souvenirs and trip gifts from local vendors. If only we had time to come back to Marche Jean Talon multiple days on our trip. Highly recommend!

Okay... The market…read moreis huge and has a great selection of fresh fruits, flowers, and local food stalls (the vibes are 10/10). However, it's super touristy, which means prices are inflated and finding parking can be a literal nightmare. It's a cute place to visit on a sunny afternoon to grab a snack, but if you're just looking for cheap, quick groceries, you might want to look elsewhere.

Sweet (figuratively AND literally lol) little shop and stand-alone shack in the middle of the Place…read moreJacques Cartier cobblestone square in Old Montreal right there among the shops, bars, restaurants, souvenir places and near the waterfront Port. Lovely walking area both during the day and beautiful at night with locals and visitors strolling, hanging and enjoying the ambience...especially on a beautiful Summer evening like the day we went - it happened to be F1 race weekend so Old Montreal was abuzz. We had just finished dinner close by and as usual were looking for a place to get a sweet treat to cap off the meal. Truth be told, we were heading for Dairy Queen and then saw Ben and Jerry's across the square and right smack dab in the middle of both of them on the square was this little gem of a place. All we needed to see was the Crème Glacée sign and that's all she wrote. It was late, around 10PM, but this place was open. So cute - all 4 sides of the shop. Ice cream, sorbet - many different tempting flavors. I had a small pistachio ice cream (see my pic) - AMAZINGLY DELISH, CREAMY AND PACKED WITH FLAVOR (and bits of pistachio). HIT THE SPOT PERFECTLY. We also bought a few gift items there - some maple tea, maple syrup and jams. As we enjoyed our dessert, we were entertained by a street performer: a beautifully costumed flamenco dancer, twirling, spinning and clicking her heels on her wooden platform "stage" to her lively, upbeat music. If you're in the area, skip Ben and Jerry's and DQ and stop in here! It's a treat!

I picked up some fresh produce and a baguette from a store which claimed to have Montreal's #1 baguette. I always love coming to the market. There's so much to see and shop for.

A great marketplace with a variety of items all around. This was just a short walk from the train…read morestation and had fruit stands right outside. We got big green grapes that were quite pricey, nearly $20 USD but they were just grapes, they were more juicy though. There are also a few places to eat, we ended up at a bakery cafe at the end upstairs. They had different sandwiches and focaccia similar to a pizza type. They heat these up so it was perfect to eat right away. *Warning* There was a an issue of not being labeled nut and asking the worker if there was any and they said no but after confirming with the cook there was walnut in the bread. So I would be extra careful about that. Other than that they had foie gras for sale as well as many other places that had it as well. There were a few grocery stores and butcher shops so there is a lot to choose from if you are looking for different types. There were a few dessert places but the place isn't too big with more variety for grocery food items.

Went there last week after a crazy jet boat ride at the old port. We were all together 4 people,…read moreand they accommodated us rather quickly. It has a nice vibe, you are outdoors surrounded with plants and the old port. To be honest this is a place to go for drinks rather than a meal. It has very limited selection of meals mostly salads. Do not go there if you are looking forward to a big meal. I had the Caesar broccoli which was very good. My friends had oysters which they loved and cucumber salad and tomato salad. We were all happy with our choices but like I said we wanted a big meal which this place does not offer. More of a chill ambiance for drinks and snacks. The only I gave it 4 stars was lack of selection and our waiter was quick to remove our food even when we were nit finished. My friend had to tell him that he is still eating and waiter put back his plate. All in all a good experience.

Unfortunately the quality of the fruits and veggies here have gone down a bit. Though the prices…read moreare still great and you get a lot for what you pay for, I find a lot of rotting fruit or over ripe fruit. I still come here regularly but am less excited about this place in general. The staff are friendly and I'm still happy to have access to reasonably priced produce. 3.5 stars

Stumbled across this busy farmers market when I was in Cote des Neiges. I was immediately drawn in…read moreand had to see what all the rush was about. There is a mix of produce, from what you can find in the supermarkets (same packaging etc) to a lot of produce from local farms which was lovely to see. Great selection of berries and tomatoes... super large tomatoes on the vine that looked divine! For me, what stood out the most was the large selection of local honey - I have found it difficult to find this in shops/supermarkets but this market has a good variety of honey from different flowers and farms. I also noticed that the market is open until late, ideal for students and locals in the area!

The Short Version: Fancy market inside the Queen Elizabeth…read moreHotel with fancy prices to match, lol. The Slightly Longer Version: I can't believe this opened up in 2017 and only in 2025 did I discover it. It's in the lobby of the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel. It's an upscale market with artisan items. They sell oils, vinegars, sauces and spreads. It's also part restaurant with different stations reminiscent of the Mövenpick that was in downtown Toronto (but has since closed down). They have a pizza station, a crepe station, a bakery and more. Prices are what you would expect at The Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Review #155 (2025)
