Embark on an exclusive, authentic insiders’ exploration of Montreal’s vibrant markets with the only true expert market guide. This bespoke tour is designed for those who seek an unparalleled connection to Montreal’s culinary heart and soul.
Having grown up and still living in my childhood home adjacent to the market, it is an integral part of my daily life. My garden’s plants and my groceries all come from these markets. No other guide in Montreal shares the deep, personal relationships I have cultivated with the farmers, vendors, and the market itself. Guests will have the opportunity to engage with the local farmers.
Established in 1933, Montreal’s four city-run markets each boast unique specialities, nestled within living neighbourhoods we’ll uncover together. Open year-round, seven days a week, these markets are the lifeline for local residents, chefs, and restaurateurs. With most products travelling within an hour’s drive, the markets are a true haven for fresh, local, and seasonal delights. Guest will see first hand exactly where each item is produced.
From May to October, the markets comes alive, transforming into bustling open-air hubs of activity. From November to January the local holiday season favourites appear. Whether you prefer to sample on your own as we explore or have tastings thoughtfully arranged in advance, this tour promises an unforgettable experience.
My guests often return year after year to rediscover the magic of Montreal’s markets.
Those within an eight-hour drive make the journey to stock up on the market’s extraordinary produce, monthly. Yes, it truly is that exceptional!
Join me for a culinary adventure that showcases the very best of Montreal’s markets—a feast for the senses and the soul.
