Every major city usually has that one definitive farmers market that vloggers will tell you is…read moreessential to visit, for example, London has Borough Market, New York City has Union Square Greenmarket, and LA has the Original Farmers Market. This one is Montreal's and deservedly so as it covers over 30,000 square feet in the city's atmospheric Little Italy neighborhood. Quite easily, Jamie W and I took the 55 city bus to get here and were immediately taken by the abundant tables of fresh produce sourced directly from local regional farms (Photo 8). However, fruits and vegetables are far from the only goods sold here. There are also butchers, fishmongers, artisanal cheese shops, bakeries, spice merchants, and maple goods purveyors. Since we already filled up on bagels on the way over, we really didn't take advantage of the variety of dining options and open-air food stalls. Pretty much everything looked appetizing, especially the lobster toast and the Moroccan pastries (Photo 6), but we only had room to sip a couple of refreshing C$10.50 Mocktails Pina Colada (Photo 13). Expect to spend at least a couple of hours here.

This is a fantastic little store. They are basically a curator of keto products. The owner is…read morereally helpful and super friendly. She made some good recommendations. For the standard fair stuff it is cheaper to stick with your local big box grocer but there were a lot of unique and harder to find items that are worth the trip.

Peppy little health food store in Jean Talon market, ideal for when nights of deep fried pickles…read moreand hot peppers catch up with you. They have the healthy power green juice in the big bottles, the sesame seed rice cakes, a whole section devoted to gluten free pastas - in fact everything in the store that is gluten free is clearly indicated with a blue dot. You can get Santropol coffee here and homemade peanut butter and organic canned vegetables and Indian food and organic granola bars and chocolates and sesame seeds and sulfite-free apricots. The staff here is funny, cool and incredibly helpful - I once had a guy who worked there take a bottle of mineral water out of my hands to show me the through-the-roof fluoride content in it while explaining to me about how this makes holes in my brain. A horrifying fun fact, and pretty much the definition of good-to-know info. If you're a tourist checking out Jean Talon market there is no real reason to shop here, but if you're a local there's lots to love.

Merci is one of my optional stops on my visits to the JTM. It's a great place to stop in to pick…read moreup some basic food items to round out my shopping trip, like a bag of unbleached all-purpose flour, some olives, or even spices. It's pretty tiny though, and I am constantly impressed by how many different items they manage to cram into the space. Need some tempeh? They've got choice! Need some super fancy chocolate chips for your next baking adventure? They've got you covered. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and it's just overall a great place to have nearby to all the plentiful produce of the JTM.

This is what St-Hubert needs, more grocery stores instead of wedding dress stores…read more I love the funky layout for the place, it's very creative and organic. The prices are pretty good and some are downright cheap. I never do grocery lists and like to just walk around and choose what i want, and it's the perfect place for this.

They say they have "bulk delivery". You decide…read more Ali once claimed I was the St. Henri store's first customer. I have type-2 diabetes. Which I've mentioned multiple times to ALI, as I've tried for 40 years to get him to carry stevia, the only acceptable sugar substitute for diabetics (according to my doctor). So much fun realizing they just eliminated it from their shelves...altogether. But it was this bulk grain order that's turned me off this store, perhaps for good: I ordered 5 X 20KG bags of grain. Kamut, Spelt Rye, Buckwheat and Oats. The Kamut, Spelt, Rye and Oats arrived in a reasonable amount of time. And, as I am handicapped, Ali brought it right up to the third floor. Nice. I haven't seen any sign of the buckwheat, in the 5 months since. Despite Ali giving his word it was coming. But the oats were the kicker. "Not fit for human consumption" is the description I'd give them. Every mouthful a festival of oat husks, and I'm spitting that &^%%$ out for an hour after every breakfast. I told Ali about it, days after it was delivered, and again, he gave me his word it'd be replaced. 5 months later, I'm still waiting. When the weather's good enough for me to get to the store, with my two canes and without my ebike, limited to about 3 blocks range...I limp to the store and I'm told that "Ali doesn't want to deal with this." Well. I don't exactly want to deal with an enormous bag of pig-oats, which I'm now forced to eat every day. I NEED oats for my diet. And there's no way I can carry a 20KG bag downstairs to throw it out. So now I'm forced to eat BAD oats I don't like...and to wonder why I'm being treated so shoddily. So "bulk delivery"??? Meh. Use TAU

C'est très irresponsable de recevoir des clients si vs êtes malade, vous me faites rater mon Noël, je ne pourrai fêter en famille!

Wow, staff is much friendlier the last 3 times we've been in! And the stocking is even improved…read more Thanks to all who've worked to improve the experience--keep up the good work! ----------- Staff is not particularly friendly in general. And if you bring your own bag, they just shove your purchases to the end of the counter and expect you to pack your bags yourself--paying premium prices for premium product and they just shove you off on your own. Their selection is somewhat limited at least at this location, although the store itself is fairly large. They also are frequently out of products--their organic cream, for instance, is completely out two out of three visits. We've been here about 7 times since we're new to the neighborhood but have since found much better natural food stores. Would love it if this place was even passable, since it is very convenient for us, but I think it's going to be a pass for us in most cases going forward.

Then on my way out I get stopped by a scrawny disrespectful "security" guard straight away accusing me of stealing. He even told me that I have three items in my hand but two items on my receipt.( which then turned out to be the three items on the receipt he was just too ignorant) he humiliated me in front of everyone and in the end didn't even excuse himself. POOR EXPERIENCE for a nice place. Never f*n going there again.

Most of the products are organic, some vegan, and healthy foods that have minimal additives. For example, they don't carry carbonated soda. They have a Deli section, as you first walk in on the right, with some premade sandwiches, that look very good, a coffee bar, gelato. There's an indoor dining area and an outdoor dining area. They have vegetables, fruits, groceries, and some non-food items. Teas, some snacks, canned/bottled foods. The staff is bilingual; that comes in handy when you're French is on a junior high school level, and hasn't been used in decades. =)
