Montréal's Jean Talon Market

Written by on September 16, 2009 – 10:47 am19 Comments | 17 Read this

Lit­tle Italy was our last stop in Mon­tréal. I wanted to go back to the famous marché Jean Talon, a farmer’s mar­ket located in this area.

The open air mar­ket is occu­pied by about 300 ven­dors, sell­ing fruits, veg­eta­bles, cheese, meat etc. There are many other food busi­nesses in the area, includ­ing bak­eries, fish and meat stores and restaurants.

On a sunny Sun­day morn­ing, the place was packed with local fam­i­lies shop­ping. I couldn’t help notic­ing how tidy and almost ster­ile was the mar­ket. Com­pared to most food mar­kets we’ve been to in Latin Amer­ica or China, this one was extremely clean… almost too clean!

Yet, the col­or­ful stalls and fresh prod­ucts were worth a visit.
