The Jean-Talon Market is a must visit when in Montreal. Popular with locals and visitors, there's…read moresomething fresh and delicious for all taste buds. Variety: 10/10 Meat, cheeses, coffee, treats and a plethora of amazingly fresh produce. Everything we ate was amazingly delicious ... The plump, juicy strawberries, the ooey-gooey paninis, the sausage sandwiches ... I could go on. Selection: 10/10 Not only do you get variety but you get the best of the best. Service: 10/10 Everyone was super friendly. There's a ton of folks but the crowd and vendors were cordial and it felt like a community supporting each other.

we showed up around 4:30 pm, fairly close to closing time, so the market had a noticeably more…read morerelaxed feel than it probably does earlier in the day. there were still plenty of people wandering through the covered aisles, browsing the colourful displays and making their final purchases. the covered section has long rows of produce stalls tucked beneath the concrete arches, with vendors on both sides displaying piles of fruits and vegetables. crates overflow with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, onions, potatoes and other seasonal produce, while huge bunches of braided garlic hang overhead, adding even more character to the space. even late in the afternoon, the colours and abundance were impressive. vendors were still proudly displaying their produce, although you could definitely sense the market winding down for the day. we picked up strawberries, blueberries and some adorable little physalis, still tucked inside their papery, lantern like husks. everything looked fresh, colourful and reasonably priced. and after all that browsing, we found a little table to sit and enjoy our berries right there at the market. honestly, not a bad way to end a market visit. tip: if you want the full jean talon experience and the widest selection, i'd go earlier in the day. arriving around 4:30 pm worked well for us because it was less hectic, but some vendors were already getting ready to wrap up.

Visiting from Scotland and I had never been apple picking before so this was such a fun and cool…read moreexperience, we got driven to the Apple trees and orchards in a wagon and then free to roam and pick from a variety of different apples including gala apples, Mackintosh and Lobo amongst many more.

It's our annual tradition to go apple picking and while you could probably get great apples at…read moreother orchards with less crowds, you'll miss out on the restauraunt, boutique, bistro, live band, park, petting farm, and picnic grounds that makes Verger LaFrance so popular. If you go during peak apple picking season in September, expect to find large crowds everywhere! If you go in the beginning of October, it is much less crowded and you may even be able to find an available ladder in the orchard. I personally prefer visiting in the first two weeks of October since you can pick Cortland apples as they're the last type of apple to ripen and they keep really well. In September, it's too early for them and they're usually very small and unripe. What to know about visiting during covid is that you're not allowed to eat the apples in the orchard but then again, there's no enforcement of it so people do so anyway. There are lines to go into the boutique and bistro but you have the music of the live band to keep you entertained while you wait. They make some sought after apple donuts and the best place to pick up the donuts are at the Bistro. You can get them fresh out of the fryer and it's 6 for $13.75. They're not as appley as I had hoped, rather they're very doughy and cinnamony. They're best eaten fresh. We warmed them up in the oven the next day but not as good. So my advice is to get what you can eat immediately. If you want honeycrisp apples, those are available outside the boutique already picked, available in 3 sizes: 3lb, 5lb and 10lb. You can also buy other pre-picked apples and mini sour apples. There's a very tall sour mini apple tree located at one of the intersections in the orchard and the kiddies love eating them. If you're going during peak season, go early because the crowds swell as the day progresses. There's tons of parking around so that part isn't a problem. Since they're open year round, you could save the visits to the boutique for another time and avoid the crowds.

There is a mix of produce, from what you can find in the supermarkets (same packaging etc) to a lot of produce from local farms which was lovely to see. Great selection of berries and tomatoes... super large tomatoes on the vine that looked divine! For me, what stood out the most was the large selection of local honey - I have found it difficult to find this in shops/supermarkets but this market has a good variety of honey from different flowers and farms. I also noticed that the market is open until late, ideal for students and locals in the area!

One of my favourite places to go to in the fall. Although they are open year round Quinn farm gets…read morethe most amount of people during autumn We had planned a family outing to pick apples and pumpkins. Because of covid you need to buy tickets ahead of time and you get a time slot to go enjoy the farm. The entry fee is 10$ per person. Once you arrive you get a bracelet and can pick up any prepaid bags for you apples or you can pay for them there. You can then check out some of the farm animals or let the kids use the slide and climb around the play area. Once your ready to pick the apples or pumpkins or even corn, you hop on the tractor and then pick your stop to get off at when they announce what fruits/veggies are available. You get to pick them and take them home ! They have washing stations for the veg as well. Once your done wait for the tractor to pick you up and head back home and bake your heart away !

Once you're in the farm, you can go see some cute farm animals. There is also a big kiosk where they sell products made in-house, those are extremely overpriced! A truck brings you to a pumpkin patch. There are various kinds of squash and pumpkins, all priced very fairly. There was also apple picking available, but that is also overpriced. It costs $11 for a little bag, which is 3 to 4 dollars at the grocery store! Perhaps bringing the price down would entice people to buy more. In general, it's a nice farm with very friendly workers. A great place to go with your significant other, family, friends, kids, anyone! You just have to choose what you want to purchase.

From fruits and vegetables to Wagyu beef and foie gras, they have it all for the at-home chef. The Long Version: My husband and I love Farmers' Markets, so while planning our trip to Laval, I marked Marché Public 440 as one of the places for us to check out. We went in May so the outdoors section was open. I doubt it's open year-round, like the indoors section. The outdoors section had lots of affordably priced fruits and vegetables. We ended up getting 5 containers of blackberries for $1 each. We also got 2 packs of baby cucumbers. Each pack had 6 cucumbers and they were $2 each or 2 packs for $3. The indoors section is significantly pricier, but they have gourmet items. They had expensive cuts of meats, gourmet cheeses and artisan chocolates. They had a few eateries too, which ranged in prices. It's a fun place to walk around. Lots of free parking in their private parking lot. Review #97 (2025)

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.
