Concerns about food safety have prompted many to look to local sources for food. One avenue that Montrealers have to gain access to local foods and other goods is via the markets in Montreal. There are four markets in the Montreal area. They are Atwater, Jean Talon, Maisonneuve and Lachine markets. Each is unique yet all carry some of the basics that people need. The most common are fruits and vegetables, cheese and baked goods.
You can find the complete list of items sold at each market at the http://www.marchespublics-mtl.com website. Written in both French and English the site also provides hours of operation for the markets and other information that is quite useful, including what is sold season by season.
The Montreal Markets are interesting places to visit whether you live in the city or are from out of town. They in many ways are one of Montreal's best tourist sites as well as a great place for locals to get fresh from the farm goods.
