| - My fave farmer's market in Central Canada. I have been to St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, Byward Market in Ottawa and this one has left deep impression in my entire Market experience in the country. I don't know but the marche is so amazing, not only that it wowed me with aplenty of fresh produces, all colorful & bright. But the people here are most chirpy and helpful.
I love getting groceries when I am abroad when my room comes with kitchen facilities. During my stay in Montreal, I have been paying visit to Metro stores, provision shops at Chinatown, Pharmaprix and my nearest IGA. I could get almost anything bits and pieces from theses outlets but I enjoyed a greater range of very fresh produces from the harvester today at Jean Talon!
Very brightly colored, plump looking, juicy and very sweet fruits are widely seen in every lanes in the market. Compare prices as u stroll along unless u have a regular stall that u couldn't leave without. I gotten a bunch of fresh colored carrots for only $2.50 when some sells them for $3.00. Apples - offspring of Cortland (USA), $3.50 for a basket of 8s. Fresh button mushrooms for $3 a small crate, a bunch of zucchini for $2. The harvester is friendly and a few playful one who threw me one baby radish to bite on when I asked for a purple carrot but not in season yet. It's so fun at Jean Talon Market, unquestioned experience.
I gotten a cantaloupe for $2 which tasted extremely good. They are identical to those premium Hokkaido rock melon I ate a few times in the Northern part of Japan. Deep orangey in color, robust taste, nectarous in its soft but not overly ripened flesh. $5/3s, so irresistible, yet I couldn't stomach it unless I have a few people to share. They are too sweet to passé.
Remember to try out the deep fried calamari at Aqua Marie and some fresh plummy oysters just right opposite, the elderly looking "chef" is a joyous man in the store, a playful & entertaining one surely at the entire market! We had so much fun sitting there as we chow down the oysters. There's a gluten free specialist shop at the far end of the market, a stand-alone along the stretch of eateries opposite the market, which stored really astonishing range that I have never seen in my life. I managed to grab a few pack of power food; chia seeds, chocolate nibs and gluten free cereals, they are not exceedingly expensive when I compare with some similar ones back home in Asian.
Have fun!! I had mine!!!
