"When Atwater Market gears up for warmer weather, it’s cause for joy. The public market by the Lachine Canal champions local products year-round, but come spring, excitement builds with the arrival of sugar season, snow crabs, fiddleheads, outdoor stalls, and a buzzing restaurant zone. Hungry market-goers can dive into returning favorites like Satay Brothers’ flavorful laksa, steamed buns, and spicy salads, or Aylwin Barbecue’s Texas-style ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and all the fixings — arguably the best barbecue in the city, even more coveted after the long winter wait. Know before you go: Piece together a hodgepodge meal from different stalls, then grab a spot at a picnic table or take your feast to the Lachine Canal." - Valerie Silva
