The Best Markets In Montreal Canada

The market is the place to buy produce from nearby farms or artisans, and where visitors get to see the culture of the city firsthand. Montreal’s markets have been standing for generations and the merchants have passed down their expertise. With four markets open year round and others opening seasonally, there is always a place to go and something new to see.

Atwater

Atwater features Art Deco style architecture. Indoors is a wide range of produce, but what makes this particular market stand out above the rest is its specialized butchers and delicatessens, who have passed their expertise down from generation to generation.
