Jean-Talon Market

One of North America’s largest open-air public markets, the Jean-Talon Market has been attracting crowds to Little Italy since 1933. Its lively atmosphere, authentic character and wide selection of fresh, local produce and specialties from here and abroad always make for a pleasant – and appetizing – outing. True to its culture and spirit, the Jean-Talon Market showcases local and ethnic eats and a diverse array of merchants. Fruit, vegetable and flower stalls line the walkways alongside a tasty array of specialty shops that feature spices, oils, cheeses, meats, pastries and other exquisite Québec products. Butchers and fishmongers enthusiastically hawk their wares, always ready to share a recipe or recommend something new.
