"Jean-Talon Market comes across as a creative engine for Montréal's food scene — a crossroads of immigrant cultures and Québécois staples where, if you're lucky enough to shop every few days, you get to work with produce before anyone else, which chefs say fuels their ability to build bold, immediate flavours and experiment constantly." - Ty Gaskins
"A true cornucopia of the freshest produce Quebec has to offer. Regional favourites include strawberries from Iles-des-Orleans and Quebec's finest blueberries in the summer. Jean Talon has vendors galore: from carnitas tacos, a shop dedicated to raw milk cheese, fresh oysters on the half-shell, to polish sausage sandwiches - take in an essential Montreal experience." - Dynamo
"A bustling Montréal market where morning perusals reveal stalls of artisanal cheeses, farm-fresh produce, and local ciders—an ideal place to stock up for a picnic, scenic outing, or regional tasting tour. The market showcases the region’s agricultural bounty and artisan food producers." - AFAR
"One of the largest outdoor markets north of the Rio Grande, this market is a historic hub for local producers; by the end of autumn its stall keepers are forced to move indoors, a seasonal shift that once left chefs relying on parsnips and turnips but historically led them to source greenhouse-grown produce from market gardeners." - Taras Grescoe
"Montreal is renowned for its rich culinary traditions, including famous dishes like poutine and smoked meat, and a vibrant mix of French and international cuisines." - Brittany Britto Garley
