| - The Marche Jean-Talon is an AWESOME market with a wide variety of not only fruits and vegetables, but also all types of cooked food, wine, pastries and desserts. It's quite a large market located a short Metro trip northwest of downtown Montreal. Once inside, you're met with a beautiful array of colors from the plethora of fruit sellers and independent stands selling pastries, desserts, wine, etc.
One important word of advice I have is to definitely head to the fruit section of the market as they give out samples of freshly cut fruit there! I've never seen a market that lets patrons sample fruits such as strawberries, oranges, kiwis, pears, apples, etc in such large quantities. It's absolutely a fantastic marketing idea because once you sample it and taste how fresh the fruit is you realize you MUST BUY something! I had a great time just walking around the market and seeing what they had to offer. Plus it's a great opportunity to venture out to the outskirts of Montreal. It's a must for tourists!
