Highlights
Marché Atwater is a vibrant gourmet market in Saint Henri, brimming with fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, and delightful eateries along the canal.
"This public market by the Lachine Canal champions local products year-round, but come harvest time, it overflows with outdoor stalls and a restaurant zone full of action. This year, hungry market-goers can relish in returning favorites like Léché Desserts’ fluffy doughnuts, Satay Brothers’ flavorful laksa, steamed buns, and spicy salads, or Falafel Yoni’s top-notch sabiche and falafel sandwiches. But don’t overlook Aylwin Barbecue; unlike other popular options, this seasonal stall doesn’t have another outpost, and it’s responsible for dishing what is very likely the best this city has in Texan-style barbecue: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and tasty sides. Take your pick, claim your spot at a picnic table or by the canal, and rejoice that this hub for local merchants, started in 1933, is still going strong." - Valerie Silva

A fantastic farmers market that made me happy just being there. Lots of amazing produce that I couldn't but because I wouldn't be able to get it through customs back to the US.
Had a ton of little specialty good stores where I did end up getting some non perishable items. Had a great time going through this

Atwater is great for fresh meats seafoods and cheeses all year. The fruit and veggies are less during the winter.
Atwater is smaller than Jean Talon market. Easy to get to by bus or metro.
Atwater is right next to the canal and one can walk and enjoy the sights.

Love Atwater Farmer's Market, always bussling, high spirits, especially on weekends. Really good fresh produce (better than Jean Talon). Love having a good brunch, doing grocery shopping, you can get your smoked meat, coffee, cheese, pasta, anything. There is a famous pizza shop here, there is free parking too. You can sit and enjoy your coffee next to the canal, there are benches, and you can set a family picnic. There are good restaurants and cafes around that area, Rue Notre-Dame Street also caters to a lot of amazing food places. Overall, it is an amazing experience to hang around in that area.

Hello Foodies, can you afford to miss this one stop shop food market in Montreal ? This is a long standing outdoor market with good quality fresh produce. Established meats, poultry stores, desserts, coffee, cheeses, spices ….you name it in the building. On diet?!?

What a gem of a market! Located in the charming section of Saint Henri, this farmer’s market is a must visit. Next to the canal, it is easily accessible by bike or on foot. There are a variety of restaurants, local farmer’s stalls, fromageries, a brûlerie, boulangeries, boucheries, and all kinds of interesting shops to explore. We come here often for fresh produce and gourmet meats and fancy viennoiseries.

I always heard about Atwater Market here in Montreal. I would always get it confused with the forum. 😂 Well I finally visited the actual market and it was very busy. Lots of choices of ventures to but your produce from. And of course there are food vendors as well. Very lively. 😎👍

What a wonderful place . Takes you back into the days where fresh farm fruits 🍈 🍉 🍇 were easy to get. No preservatives no artificial shine
Loved the little hustle bustle around with aroma of cheese, fresh baked pizza, chocolate & coffee….💕felt like in a movie.
The walk on the canal bridge with children and bikes. There were rentals available too.

All year around, you have some great butchers and fromageries, and during the summer the flower market is stunning and a great date idea, during the winter you'll have outside one of the best and nicest selections of Christmas trees around.

For the past few years, I have enjoyed Marche Atwater more and more...there's a well defined food court outside the main building with lots of choices of ethnic cuisines.
There's a really large flower and plant shop also on the outside with beautiful choices for those who love colorful greenery and flowers. Still there are dozens of vegetable and fruit stands at the market as well as many prepared and gourmet food stores.
Easy to get to using the metro at Lionel Grioulx.

Yelp
Beautiful market with lots of options!!! You can score quite a few deals!! Lots of fresh, local produce that looks beautiful. I picked up some fresh produce and a baguette from a store which claimed to have Montreal's #1 baguette.
I always love coming to the market. There's so much to see and shop for. I'd recommend coming hungry because there are some stalls in the centre serving full meals.
Next time I'll have to go to the flower shop!

Such a cool indoor/outdoor market for everything you could need want or dream of!! We were able to find some of our favorite French grocery brands and treats inside too which was an unexpected treat. We loved wandering throguh and then enjoying a little lunch in the outdoor food stall area. The food stalls are radically over priced (noteably the Thai food stall charge $25 for a small noodle dish) but was tasty. The vegetable displays are so intentional and all the mums in season right now are beautiful!

The whole place is a delight. Sat yourself a spending limit, and make sure you reserve some for the bakery/patisserie. I was happy to wait in line on a busy Saturday to grab a second "Royal". It's well and surely the best confectionery I've ever seen. All of the vendors were enthusiastic. The meats, cheeses and produce beautiful. Truly large enough to have anything you want and small enough to walk everything-and be known if you go regularly.
Troy P.
Yelp
Great market, if I lived in the area I would be a regular. Some good hot food choices and plenty of butchers, deli, bakery, fruits, vegetables and plants. Premiere Moisson anchors the indoor space and has a ton of options, it was quite busy.
Walking the interior you get a sense of Deja vu, I'm sure there's differences in the meat counters but felt like a lot of repeat options.
Tip for visitors...it's an easy walk from the 747 bus stop that goes to and from airport at Lionel Groulx Metro. We stopped by with luggage when we arrived and on our return to airport!

Yelp
I love markets especially ones where they're multiple stalls with different items and folks that specialize in areas like meats, fishes, produce, nuts, etc.
Although in the US we have farmers markets where it's kind of similar, I like that this is an actual location that is permanent and most of the stalls are indoors so you're safe from the elements.
You can find a variety of goods here and can get lost in a good way. We only had to pick up a few items for New Years Eve so we picked up cake, veggies, a sparkling cider, cheese as well as lobsters.
It was a bit crowded initially but there were areas that were a little less which was nice. Either way it's a lovely spot for those who like to peruse goods/food and also great if you're looking for local items for gifts!

Lovely breakfast here at the market. We ordered some pastries and a latte and cappuccino and were seated to enjoy. Everything was truly so tasty. Afterwards we walked around to check out the other businesses here in the market. Many great options for fresh meat, cheese, pasta, and more. We went on Monday morning and it was busy!

Love this place! It's like an eternal farmers market or just a great local place for a lot of locally made products or hard to find products.
It has different things for everyone and it's interesting that right next door is a huge supermarket.
It's definitely a place you have to visit if it's your first time visiting Montreal. Or even if it's not, it's a great place to find gifts for someone.
Sarah A.
Yelp
Definitely worth a visit to enjoy some delicious breads, cheeses, jams and jellies as well as all the spices you could imagine and chocolates galore. It's markedly smaller than Jean Talon but you can find all your essentials here. It's mostly covered or indoors which was convenient on the rainy day we visited. There is also free 90 minute lot parking which was much appreciated. I did find some of the prices a bit higher for some items but the selection is amazing. Excellent COVID protocols.

This is a beautiful market filled with fresh flowers, plants, cheese, meat, wine-you name it! Part indoor and part outdoor. We went through the cafe line today for lunch. Delicious.

I visited this place when I was in Montreal last year. I heard great things about this place and......THEY WERE RIGHT! The people I encountered at this market were pleasant and quite helpful. I don't know how to speak french (yet), however, most where more than happy to converse with me in English. The icecream/gelatto bar was one of my favorite, probably because the guy provided lots of samples to taste. It was hard to choose so I pretty much got like 4 flavors (mango, lemon, strawberry, and chocolate) -it may be a weird combination to some, but it was delicious and refreshing on that hot summer day.
I can't wait to visit this place by next year. I had such a great time even though I got lost on my way there. Lol.

I was expecting to be done with this area in a short time but we had a great time walking around and looking at all the different shops to get a feel for being in Europe without having to fly so far!
We got some snacks, bought a couple of souvenirs, and had some gelato. It's summer so we lucked out having mango and guava flavored gelato!
Just couldn't leave the place so we ended up renting a swan paddle boat to see the canal which was just a fun way to spend an hour on the water.
Pro tip: Park in the lot and you get 90 minutes free parking. We didn't know until we were leaving, so we ended up parking on the street and paying. Oh well.
I'm on vacation...

Wonderful place to browse beautiful array of artisanal products from local vendors, but be ready to pay for that level of quality. A nice foodie site-seeing destination. Good people watching along nearby Lachine Canal.

I can't compare Atwater to Montreal's other markets since this is the only one I have visited. It's pretty terrific. More established businesses -- butchers, a bakery, sweet shops, coffee shops, restaurants-- are inside. Produce vendors outside.
We bought wild blueberries, apples and 'ground cherries' (they look a bit like a smaller version of the tomatillo, but taste a bit like a kiwi.
We were there in October and there was an enormous number of pumpkins of every sort.

Yelp
Atwater Market is a large indoor and outdoor market in the Saint-Henri neighborhood dating back to 1933. If you see a large tower with a clock on it, run to it to enjoy great food and fresh produce.
The outdoor market serves all sorts of fresh produce from fruit and vegetables as well as eggs, meats, etc. There are also food stalls that brew coffee, make food from around the world, etc. There are also long tables under tarps for people to enjoy their food.
The inside is smaller, but still majestic. If you like pastries, go to Première Moisson. There will be a line, but it moves fast.
Mel T.
Yelp
Well this was pretty underwhelming and disappointing...
I thought it would be more than just produce but that's mostly what it is. Pricey produce, that is. You can find similar quality for cheaper at the local supermarkets.
None of the food stands by the food truck area were open, which is what we were looking forward to. Maybe it's because we came on a Monday, but I'm not sure I'd want to give it a second chance if I ever come back to Montreal.
At least there was free parking! And plenty of it (though I can't say the same would happen on weekends).
Ernest F.
Yelp
OMG!!!!!! Atwater is so awesome!!!
Open space. Great fruit. Amazing vegetables. Even plants, from basil to succulents.
There's a specialty cheese shop, and bakery.
If you're hungry, there's a bunch of picnic tables so you can order anything from sushi to laksa.
I love this place and cannot wait to come back!
PS. There's a liquor store across the street so you can buy everything you need for dinner within two blocks.
Allan R.
Yelp
Let this be a cautionary lesson for anyone reading this review!
I was at Marche Atwater and excited to buy local fruits and veggies. What I wasn't ready for was being scammed by the vendors.
They display fruits IE: blueberries, in a container which is then placed in a secondary larger container to create the illusion that it looks fuller. I admit, I allowed myself to get conned by this slight of hand trick.
Be careful and let my experience influence your choices and decisions.
Personally, I will never return.

Yelp
Atwater Market was the 2nd farmers market that we visited during our Montreal trip. This farmers market is both outdoor and indoors. For the outdoor market, you'll see vendors selling FRESH fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc. For the indoor market (i.e. inside the building), you see vendors selling fresh meat and cheeses. There were some specialty stores selling unique products too. We also had lunch at "Satay Brothers" while at Atwater Market.
To get to Atwater Market, take the metro to "Lionel-Groulx" (GREEN line) station and it's about 5-10 minutes walk from the metro station.
James R.
Yelp
I love me an open market. I've been to open markets around the world and this is a solid one. While this isn't a huge open market, it has every staple you need and they are quality. From the boulangerie to the various butchers, fishmonger, cheesemonger, and green grocers, this place has everything you need to make a great meal at home. Great market and there is a reason it is famous.
Ann S.
Yelp
A great stop in Montreal, with many restaurants and specialty food shops. This is a large outdoor farmer's market and more. I bought a little cactus plant as a gift at the nursery across the street and had some slices of gourmet cheese as a snack. Take a stroll over the canal while there.

We hit up Marché Atwater the last time we were here in the Fall- but even then, it was more like an in and out thing- and didn't get a chance to sample all the vendors. However, this time around, I didn't want to go home without first going through all the nooks and crannies of what makes Marché Atwater pop.
The Market is located just about 15 or so minutes away from Old Montréal with plenty of parking. About 50 or so vendors here, are all skillful in their own right. We stopped by again at Paradis du Fromage to pick up Bourgogne and a Cambozola (a nice mix of the mildest Bleu and Brie- into one).
Tea shops, Chocolates and so may other vendors-just give you the very best in quality. Even the Oranges come from Spain! What the hell? Even one of the Boulangeries here- had a killer Baguette (that we even couldn't get at a legendary Bakery in Québec!!!)- made with a crusty exterior and weightless inside. Perfect Baguette! And if you so come in hungry, this Boulangerie (which I forgot its name) has a nice assortment of light sandwiches for grabbing a quick bite.
I'm not up for cooking while on vacation, but I wouldn't be opposed to buying local Cheeses, Baguette, Fruits and Chocolates- to bring to our hotel the next time we're in Montréal to nosh on. I'm so into Marché Atwater- not just because they're popular (ok......maybe). But also because they're freaking totally epic.

This large outdoor/indoor year-round farmers market in Atwater was packed on the Saturday we visited. A main attraction for us was the Singaporean street food lunch at the Satay Brothers stall in the open air food court area. The delicious satay skewers, gado gado and laksa were all good; the standouts were the savory steamed pork bun and sweet Kueh Bengka. After lunch we made our way to the interior hall, strolling past butcher stores, local grown fresh produce vendors, nurseries, groceries and souvenir specialty shops. We ended this fascinating sightseeing excursion with a pleasant walk along the nearby Lachine Canal, and admired the photogenic Art Deco tower from afar. It was a great experience soaking in the local flavor.

I love farmers markets, there I unequivocally said it. Fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh cheeses and breads ...at reasonably priced points ...with easy parking nearby. Lots of eye candy with everything in season available: blackberries, corn, cantaloupes. Plus meat stores, fresh flowers, food courts with sandwiches, oysters and vegetarian options. Stop in to grab a few things and taste samples (blueberry ice cream and salami samples). I'm just mad NY doesn't have anything similar by a country mile. This took me back to markets in Europe where the real stars were the offerings and not the surrounding or the chefs. Nibble away and let your eyes carry you while your stomach will be rewarded.

What I noticed most about this place was that there was a lot of butcher shops and cheese shops. Yum! I purchased some cheese and charcuterie for late night snacking. Parking was easy as there is a dedicated lot.

Super tasty pork bao (5/5) and chicken satay (5/5) at Satay Brothers. Decent jerk chicken (4.5/5), ribs (3.5/5), sausage (4/5), coleslaw (3.5/5) and brisket sandwich (3.5/5) at the BBQ place. Really good taro + passionfruit soft serve (4.5/5) and matcha creme brulee (4/5) and vietnamese coffee (5/5) ice cream at the ice cream place.

I love exploring farmers markets whenever I travel somewhere! Atwater Market (Marche Atwater) is a great place to explore, buy some local produce or grab lunch at one of the many food stalls. You can grab some patisseries and sit along the canal and finish you meal with some gelato, who doesn't want that!
This market has everything fresh bread, cheese, meats, charcuterie and some great food stalls in the outdoor sections. Shop the market and then grab something to eat!

We bought ingredients for sandwiches here. They have cheese shop, meat shop, pasta shop, bakery, fresh produce, regular market to get drinks, etc. we had some prosciutto from Italy freshly sliced. That reminded me of the best prosciutto in Italy. I wished we came here at the beginning of the trip and we could try more things.

After going to Marché Jean Telon for so many years when visiting Montreal, it's really hard to find one that lives up to the same standards. I decided to check this market out to see what is different. I didn't feel like I missed much. The pros: fresh produce from the farms, many vendors selling food for a quick bite, easy parking across the market by the grocery market and pretty plants to purchase. The cons: weird layout to the market. There is some vendors outside and some inside. The bakery inside is very congested because a lot of people use the entrance to get to the inside vendors and there isn't a lot of space to move, wait for your ticket to be called or dine at the small tables inside.
The strawberries we bought from one of the vendors was delicious. Prices are pretty reasonable comparable to the regular grocery market but better quality.
If you decide to grab a bite there are some tables by the food vendors but not a lot. They do have the space to add more, so more people can dine comfortably.
As for markets I would just say it's okay. If you only have time to visit one, go to the Marche Jean Telon.

Nice indoor / outdoor market in an old neighborhood. Was pretty crowded on a recent October Saturday -- LOTS of vendors selling meat, cheeses, pastries, fruits and veggies, etc. Not too many place to eat there which is my only complaint. Did find an excellent pizza joint that was mobbed but you take a number and the line moves pretty fast. Probably a good idea if you were going to buy local food and cook it yourself that night but we were tourists. Oh, right next to the market near the river there were a few vendors selling beer outside with a DJ playing tunes. Wish I would have known this before filling up on food! Next time!

I absolutely love fresh markets and this one did not disappoint! Outside it has fresh flowers, plants, food court area with ice cream, sweets, food, drinks, and juices. It also has a huge indoor section where the restrooms are located, fresh fish and seafood, meats, fresh bread, fresh fruits and veggies (also might be outdoor depending on the season), honey/jam, and yummy desserts. There is definitely a fishy smell inside because of the fresh seafood which is normal for markets. It's a pretty cute market to just walk through if you're in the neighborhood.

Came from Nh to ride bikes and this was on the bike path. We had such a great experience. This place is similar to Quincy market minus stores. At the end of the market you step outside and they have several food stands all home made. We tried the Creole food and one dish was enough for two. The samosa at this stand were amazing. Next to this stand was a another establishment with a a Tiki bar and fun music playing. They sold some Asian soup that looked amazing BUT they did not accept credit card and we had no cash. They have ATM but it did not accept our card. If you are from another country please make sure you have Canadian money so you do not miss out on trying all the great food. They sell fresh meat here, lobster, flowers, vegetables, pastries, and much more. We cannot wait to go back!

The Atwater Market is another indoor public market that offers a variety of vendors, from butchers offering fresh meat, delis, local produce, and specialty products. It's housed in an art deco building, designed by Ludger Lemieux, situated near the Lachine Canal and a few blocks of a walk from the Lionel-Groulx metro. Open year-round, I was slightly disappointed with this market as it seemed a bit too cramped, and there really weren't any signs that directed you to certain vendors. It was a little overwhelming, and I found that I found more variety over at the Jean-Talon. On a side note, there is a lot that encircles the building, so watch out for the cars trying to park/leave the lot.

Came here during "off season" where I wasn't able to get the full potential of the market, but what I did see has me wishing for a market like this in Ottawa.
Plenty of vendors open indoors to give you that market fix. They have everything from fresh produce (although I can only imagine the variety of the produce in the Summer), spice shops, florist, chocolate shops, butchers and a coffee shop where you can get fresh roasted coffee to bring home.
It wasn't too busy when we went mid afternoon during the weekday, except for the bakery, where they had a large lunch crowd.
Love how this market is open all year round, as well as the free parking that they offer. I am sure visiting this market during the Summer would be fantastic as you can grab some treats and sit outside and enjoy the water views.

It's about 20 to 25 minutes walk from my place. I grew up near this market. It's not as humongous as Jean Talon Market but it's cleaner though. In the spring and summer, the variety of plants, flowers and herbs make this market beautiful. In the fall, all the pumpkins around gives a pumpkin spice latte feel and during winter, all the Christmas trees lifts your spirit up in the cold. I love walking inside that market; I enjoy buying fruits, and I nibble them on the spot. Inside the market, I enjoy the fromagerie, poissonerie stores. There are few meat counters too. You can get baked goods, especially fresh bread from Premier Moisson. There are also a great pizza store. Outside, at the corner of the market, you can enjoy delicious food from Le Petit Sao, Satay Brothers and Green (delicious varieties of nuts). I enjoy this market during every season because of its freshness and beauty, and not to forget about most of the friendly staff.
Jessica G.
Yelp
Really cute market with tons of options from fruits to meats and cheeses. This reminded me of the old time French markets where you get your fresh breads meats and cheese and go eat on the lawn someplace. Only downfall is that it's smaller then I thought it would be and didn't have a ton of resturants either way I enjoyed my time there
Fatema Z.
Yelp
Cute little market with a nice selection of local products as well as some famous hidden eateries (Satay Brothers). Can find good quality cheeses and stuffed olives, berries and of course, pretty succulents for under 5$. Prices are fairly high and the majority of goods can be found elsewhere.
We like to come here each season to check out the changing colours through the goods - warm hues in Autumn from all the pumpkins and berries to deeper rustic tones during the Winter holidays. Take in the lovely atmosphere by walking in and around the market as it is close to the canal. Also makes an ideal spot for those Insta pics!

We stopped at this market while on a scooter tour around Montreal. It's located to the southwest, near the Lachine Canal. Tons of flowers and buds all around the outside of the covered market. It's open year-round, so you will never have to worry about going hungry. Just perusing the aisles required my tastebuds to exert restraint and control ;)

Haven't been since I was a kid. Brought a friend to enjoy all the meats and cheeses, etc and found a Vegan GOLDMINE at Le Kitchen on S'Bour

How have I not reviewed the Atwater market yet? It's a wonderful market right on the canal just southwest of downtown, a short walk from the Lionel Groulx metro.
In the summer it is filled with outdoor stalls filled with beautiful produce and plants for the garden. Year round, there are amazing butchers and cheese shops inside. There are also several places to grab a casual lunch. In the summer at the north end of the market there are great food stalls with a variety of choices, including some vegetarian and vegan options. There's a bakery, artisanal chocolates, ice cream and a nearby SAQ as well.
It can be a bit pricy to shop here but it's great for an occasional treat or special picnic supplies. It's also very crowded on weekends in the summer, especially if you're looking for a parking spot.

My favorite place to get some fresh vegetables & fruits! It feels good to support locals and it feels even better to eat the local grown produce!

This place is amazing! It is part of the Atwater Market.
The Back Story:
"Serge Bourcier began at Atwater Market, 50 years ago, with his father, who was a farmer. Then, he started to cook the products of the farm (marinades, jams, pies, pâtés, etc.). Since 1990, Serge has become an artisan of delicious treats. Come to discover his gourmandises, at Coin Gourmand, open all the year long." Source:

I love that they offer:
*Various types of French Fruit Pies and Quiches
*Unique Honey Mustard
*Different Grades of Maple Syrup
*All kinds of house-made gourmet pickles including the famous French Cornichons
The prices seemed really reasonable as well.

We were on our way to a food festival on foot and got caught in a torrential downpour. We decided to stop at the Marché and check out the shops while staying dry.
The array of beautiful displays of produce, seafood, flowers and plants plus food booths was enticing. We ended up in the coffee bar area and I ordered an iced café moka (I asked for her to ice it) and it was delicious.
Lots of reasonably priced specialty prepared foods, foie gras, terrines, jams, etc.
If we'd had a car, I'd have stocked up.
It's a definite worthy venue to visit if in Montreal.

This is one of the best places to go if you're trying to find quality groceries.
They are locally grown and support local merchants, which is great for the community.
You can find meat, fish, flowers, succulents, alcohol, and almost anything you can think of that you may need in your pantry here!
There are also some restaurants both inside and outside to enjoy when it's nice outside.

If Marché Jean-Talon is my Springfield then the Atwater Market is my Shelbyville.
I always feel kind of weirded out going there as it feels so foreign to me. The layout, inside and out are all nice but it's always a bit odd.
Don't let that derail you in your plans though since it is still an amazing (but pricey) market.
I would love to one day splurge and grab massive amounts of meats but it's a bit out of my budget for now.
There is a mini food truck at the entrance as well as a parking lot across.
The flower selection is gigantic and there's much more shopping across the street ( Super C, pharmaprix, saq).
