About Marché Atwater

Marché Atwater is a public market by the Lachine Canal, in a striking art deco building that opened in 1933. Inside and around it, you will find butchers, cheese shops, bakeries and stands of fresh produce.

It suits home cooks, food lovers and anyone planning a special meal. In summer, pick up picnic supplies and eat by the canal, or rent a bike and ride the path toward Old Montreal. In fall, the outdoor stands fill with squash and apples, and in December the market is a classic place to buy a Christmas tree. It is a true Montreal landmark for shopping and strolling.
