In the spirit of visiting Montreal, we did the Montrealer experience. The market offers fresh vegetables, meats, and cafes to stop and smell the flowers. A truly authentic Montreal experiece.

Open area fresh markets. Variety of typical fruits and vegetables. There are also meats, seafood and cheese vendors. Products were fresh. Although this may be one of the biggest in North America, I've seen bigger markets in other part of the world, so i didn't find it special. But this is the cleanest among all that I've been to.

Wide variety of local fruit and vegetables, flowers and shops. Food stands.
