Marche Jean-Talon is a farmer’s market in Little Italy district of Montreal. This market is great for people-watching, mingling with the locals, and trying local farm-fresh foods. Of course, it’s also great for shopping.
Besides the market itself, there are also restaurants nearby that serves different types of cuisines.
I think I spent nearly two hours at this market and tried deer sausage (spicy and kind of gamey) and boar sausage (pretty good…) Some almond pastries, a hot chocolate and some great tasting apples. Great place to come buy organic produce, hand-made soaps, teas, and maple syrup. Good thing my luggage was too small, or else…
FT – I am sooo impressed with your travelogue – the food looks so great (some exceptions i.e. bad crepe place with bad service) love the farmer’s market – you’ve done an outstanding job of capturing so much!
merci beaucoup. you are so kind. the food was pretty good there, but the weather’s turned cold.
