Jean-Talon Market is Montreal's largest public market, a Little Italy sprawl of Quebec produce, cheese counters, fishmongers and prepared-food stalls.
Tip: Come hungry and graze; late afternoon brings the best deals as vendors clear the day's produce.
Atwater Market sits beside the Lachine Canal in Montreal, its art-deco hall lined with butchers, cheesemongers and bakers under a landmark clock tower.
Tip: Assemble a picnic from the butchers and Premiere Moisson, then eat it on the canal bank outside.
Maisonneuve Market anchors Hochelaga in Montreal, a Beaux-Arts hall and open stalls where east-end locals shop Quebec produce, cheese and flowers.
Tip: It is quieter than Jean-Talon and Atwater; a calmer place to actually talk to the farmers.
Marche des Ecluses sits on the Lachine Canal locks in Old Montreal, part waterfront market and part terrasse bar, with a summer market and canal views.
Tip: Come for sunset drinks on the water; the summer farmers market runs weekends by the locks.
Marche de Lachine is Montreal's oldest public market, a canal-side pair of halls in the west-end borough with year-round gourmet shops and seasonal produce.
Tip: It is a quiet, local market well off the tourist trail; combine it with a Lachine Canal bike ride.
Marche Solidaire Frontenac is a community-run market in Centre-Sud, Montreal, selling affordable Quebec produce from local farms through the warm months.
