Jean Talon Market [General]
2007 Sep 23
Oh boy... where to start??
Harve aux glaces - I always go for their chocolate cherry sorbet. Yum.
Qui Lait Cru or Hamel for cheese
Grilled merguez sandwiches on a baguette (all dressed, of course) at An-Nasr
La Moutonniere - very tasty feta cheese
Fresh boiled ear of corn from any of the vendors
Fresh herbs of every kind - last time we went, we bought tons of basil and made fresh pesto when we went home... (we also bought fresh pasta at the pasta store on butcher's row to go with it!!)
Wawel bakery has some amazing rye bread - heavy and dense.
Boucherie Milan for veal paupiettes
There is literally something I love at every single store there... not to mention the vast outdoor market.
Just wander around - and you won't be disappointed!!

Hi Kristl,
I have been reading your posts with interest. When you go to Jean talon you should check out: olive et olive and les depense for their spices and fantastic vanilla beans. Right opposite olive is a small kiosk that sells the most extraordinary stuffed olives. The qui lait cru cheese shop will surely sell you the cheeses you are searching for. There is also a butcher that sells only Quebec pork it is a fantastic shop. On the complete opposite side of the market are two lovely bakers, boulangere premier moisson and pain dore you may find the bread you are searching for there. Atwater market is also wonderful and I find has better charcuterie than Jean Talon. Best of luck in your travels.
