Jean Talon Market: Fresh Produce in Montreal, QC

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Jean-Talon Market is located in Villeray near Jean-Talon Station. It is a market full of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and plants. The local farmers come here to sell their goods. They open daily at 7am! CanuckGirl and I headed over here one day as we heard this place is pretty cool to walk around and try some produce.

On one end of the market, it’s a bunch of shops selling food and there are a few tables to sit down.

A majority of the market is outdoors under a roof and many tents. It’s a great stroll in rain or shine.

There are rows after rows of amazing smelling produce. I honestly think this place is so much better than a grocery store. $1 for a box of strawberries!!

What I love most about the market is how you are able to sample the produce before purchasing. Even if you don’t intent to buy that product…you may be tempted to after tasting how sweet and fresh the items are.

Overall, it’s a great place for locals and tourist to shop. There is a ton of produce and makes for a good stroll.

  1. Hello Diana,

    I came across your site several years after this post. There has been considerable renovation in and around JTM and a new public square, Place Shamrock. The surrounding neighbourhood is also worthwhile in terms of food, from the Vietnamese Marché oriental to several North African shops as well as long-established Italian shops (Milano is a foodie destination for Italian and other European products) and several shops from all corners of Latin America. And then there is Parc-Extension just through a railway viaduct, once Greek, now pan-south-Asian with an increasing African presence. So you might want to return on your next trip east. Better in warmer weather, though!
