About Marché Jean-Talon

Marché Jean-Talon is an open-air public market in Little Italy, opened in 1933. Quebec farmers sell fruit, vegetables and flowers there, alongside shops offering cheeses, spices, baked goods and local specialties.

It suits everyone, from home cooks doing their weekly shopping to visitors who want to see how Montreal eats. Each season has its moment: strawberries in June, corn and tomatoes in August, apples and pumpkins in fall. Go on a weekday morning for a calmer visit, and bring reusable bags. Taste as you go, then explore the cafés and shops of Little Italy around the market.
