Local Secrets, Big Finds 2007 Pick

  • March 18, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Local Secrets from New York, New York
The largest outdoor market in North America, Jean-Talon Market leaves no tastebud unturned among its "sprawling maze of vendors," who span an entire city block. Sample fresh produce, local organic meats and game, handmade cheeses, and "the best artisanal ice cream" in Montreal while meandering through "impressive alleys and fascinating crowds." Open 7 days a week, year-round (though the winter weather calls for enclosure), this "off-the-beaten-path" market is a favorite of Montreal residents and offers a "rich, authentic market experience" for food-obsessed (or just hungry) tourists.

Jean Talon Marche

The Jean Talon Market is part of Montreal's Little Italy. It is a wonderful street market (of which Montreal has many) that is open throughout the year. It is easily accesible by the metro system.

You can buy fresh produce in the summer and fall season directly from local farmers in the outdoor market, and in the winter the indoor market also has produce available. Also available are a variety of freshly baked goods and specialty items.

Cafes and good restaurants are also in the vicinity of this market.

Jean Talon Marche

Being a complete foodie, I decided to take a look at one of the local markets on one of the busiest days Saturday. Once you leave Jean Talon Metro Stop, turn right and you will see signs for the market. It took me a while to find it but I got there in the end. You will have to cross the busy road to get to the market. Inside there was a lot of hustle and bustle and you could catch the smell of Maple syrup and the fresh produce mixed together. The market sells a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruit, maple syrup and beautiful flowers. If you fancy experiencing some time out from the tourist traps, visit it. Set in Little Italy, it is a world away from downtown. The market is surrounded by small epiceries selling all sorts of produce from all over the world especially Thai, Tonkinese and Chinese.

Inspired by the surroundings I ended up buying some nice veggies to make a curry.
