Even in the dead of winter, Marche Jean-Talon was full of great produce and other items. I imagine it's positively overflowing with fresh goodness during the spring and summer.
My bf and I had heard that Marche Jean-Talon was a great place to go for some Canadian cheese and charcuterie -- yep, we're foodie nerds -- so we trudged in the snow to this market.
The local bounty was overflowing!
We perused many of the stands and ended up buying cheese from Fromagerie Qui Lait Cru and meat from Les Cochons Tout Ronds that we then enjoyed at a small table at the front of the market. We had our own winter picnic!
And along with food, we perused and bought some kitchen goods from Cuizin and a cookbook from Librairie Gourmande.
Marche Jean-Talon also sells fresh-cut flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruit and other souvenirs. And we loved how it was chock full of Québécois goodies, in particular.
This is a must-visit for locals and tourists.
