We got big green grapes that were quite pricey, nearly $20 USD but they were just grapes, they were more juicy though. There are also a few places to eat, we ended up at a bakery cafe at the end upstairs. They had different sandwiches and focaccia similar to a pizza type. They heat these up so it was perfect to eat right away. *Warning* There was a an issue of not being labeled nut and asking the worker if there was any and they said no but after confirming with the cook there was walnut in the bread. So I would be extra careful about that. Other than that they had foie gras for sale as well as many other places that had it as well. There were a few grocery stores and butcher shops so there is a lot to choose from if you are looking for different types. There were a few dessert places but the place isn't too big with more variety for grocery food items.

It has a nice vibe, you are outdoors surrounded with plants and the old port. To be honest this is a place to go for drinks rather than a meal. It has very limited selection of meals mostly salads. Do not go there if you are looking forward to a big meal. I had the Caesar broccoli which was very good. My friends had oysters which they loved and cucumber salad and tomato salad. We were all happy with our choices but like I said we wanted a big meal which this place does not offer. More of a chill ambiance for drinks and snacks. The only I gave it 4 stars was lack of selection and our waiter was quick to remove our food even when we were nit finished. My friend had to tell him that he is still eating and waiter put back his plate. All in all a good experience.

The Slightly Longer Version: I can't believe this opened up in 2017 and only in 2025 did I discover it. It's in the lobby of the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel. It's an upscale market with artisan items. They sell oils, vinegars, sauces and spreads. It's also part restaurant with different stations reminiscent of the Mövenpick that was in downtown Toronto (but has since closed down). They have a pizza station, a crepe station, a bakery and more. Prices are what you would expect at The Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Review #155 (2025)

Lovely walking area both during the day and beautiful at night with locals and visitors strolling, hanging and enjoying the ambience...especially on a beautiful Summer evening like the day we went - it happened to be F1 race weekend so Old Montreal was abuzz. We had just finished dinner close by and as usual were looking for a place to get a sweet treat to cap off the meal. Truth be told, we were heading for Dairy Queen and then saw Ben and Jerry's across the square and right smack dab in the middle of both of them on the square was this little gem of a place. All we needed to see was the Crème Glacée sign and that's all she wrote. It was late, around 10PM, but this place was open. So cute - all 4 sides of the shop. Ice cream, sorbet - many different tempting flavors. I had a small pistachio ice cream (see my pic) - AMAZINGLY DELISH, CREAMY AND PACKED WITH FLAVOR (and bits of pistachio). HIT THE SPOT PERFECTLY. We also bought a few gift items there - some maple tea, maple syrup and jams. As we enjoyed our dessert, we were entertained by a street performer: a beautifully costumed flamenco dancer, twirling, spinning and clicking her heels on her wooden platform "stage" to her lively, upbeat music. If you're in the area, skip Ben and Jerry's and DQ and stop in here! It's a treat!

You can visit their creamery, but I had a chance to visit their Jean-Talon Market location - the cheese with the green label refers to the milk of the animals grazing in the mountain pastures during the growing season; the label that has a snow-covered landscape refers that the milk is from the animals that were fed on hay during the winter months. All the cheeses are aged for 2-4 months in the creamery's underground cave and comes with a natural rind; pressed cheeses, blue vein cheeses, fresh, cheeses, brined cheeses, soft rind cheeses, and even other dairy products (such as yogurts, sheep's milk, and cream) are offered. I thought the cheeses were rich and creamy with a subtle hint of acidity from the sheep's milk - they're pretty delicious, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a version that you'll like! If you're in the market to purchase some sheep, they also have ewes and rams for sale (Canadian Livestock Records Corporation-registered); they also have woollen knit socks, comforters, pillows, berets, and even raw fleece for customized spinning/dye-ing. +fromagerie located in the Jean-Talon market +cow & ewe's milk semi-firm cheeses :D +located across the gelato place

Since arriving in Montréal, I've been on the hunt for some milk from grass-fed animals. Cows, goats, buffalo, sheep - just give me milk from some kind of ruminant that eats grass instead of grain. Thanks to La Moutonnière, I've found it. From professed 100% Happy Sheep, La Moutonnière makes and sells milk, butter, and several types of cultured cheeses and yogurts, all from grass-and-hay fed sheep on their farm in Quebec. I tried their dairy products for the first time this week and am very impressed. Of course it's a bit more expensive than your industrial Québon/Kraft Foods versions but you know what you're getting in this case. La Moutonnière also sells wool, soap, and very reasonably priced lamb meat (I'm guessing those particular lambs aren't 100% happy sheep). The staff are wonderful too - I asked for sheep butter today and was told they were out. About five minutes later, they sought me out in a completely different section of the market to let me know they'd located some butter for me. A great first impression. Find them at the southeast corner of the Marché Jean-Talon, just across from Qui Lait Cru.
