| - Marche Jean-Talon is a large farmers market further out from Montreal's city center. It's interesting to see some new produce that I have never seen in the US, such as "cerise terre," which I looked up later to discover it's a smaller, whiter version of the cherry.
Some tips:
- All cash market. Although, I did see a few people pay in USD, so that should be widely accepted, especially with the higher exchange value of the USD.
- Street parking on the weekends in the neighborhoods surrounding the market. I'm not sure where you would park on the weekdays. It would probably be better to take the metro.
Food stalls to try:
- Mexican taco stall in the center (with the big Marche Jean Talon sign)- serves 3 tacos for $5 of cochinita pibil, black beans, and marinated red onions
- Oyster and seafood stall at the end of the market, "Explorer" set of a dozen oysters for $30- 4 each from Vancouver (West Coast), _can't remember_ (East Coast, Ireland coast (European), and Rhode Island (American)
- Fried seafood platter of tender calamari and shrimp ($9), or fish and chips
