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.

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)

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.

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.

From fruits and vegetables to Wagyu beef and foie gras, they have it all for the at-home chef. The Long Version: My husband and I love Farmers' Markets, so while planning our trip to Laval, I marked Marché Public 440 as one of the places for us to check out. We went in May so the outdoors section was open. I doubt it's open year-round, like the indoors section. The outdoors section had lots of affordably priced fruits and vegetables. We ended up getting 5 containers of blackberries for $1 each. We also got 2 packs of baby cucumbers. Each pack had 6 cucumbers and they were $2 each or 2 packs for $3. The indoors section is significantly pricier, but they have gourmet items. They had expensive cuts of meats, gourmet cheeses and artisan chocolates. They had a few eateries too, which ranged in prices. It's a fun place to walk around. Lots of free parking in their private parking lot. Review #97 (2025)

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

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.
