Super friendly service & incredibly fresh oysters! I always order their Slurp Slurp Express & Tour du Monde so I can try different types - from salty & briny to creamy & buttery. Every time, it's absolutely delicious. The cashier & staff are always nice, welcoming, & make the whole experience enjoyable. A must-try for any oyster lover!

JEAN TALON MARKET - Yeah!! Third time lucky with bi-valves!!

During the past year, this lack of self-discipline Bi-Valves lover ( & family members ) had suffered the wrath of food poisoning by having devour some tainted oysters at Barcelona's Mercat de la Boqueria & London's Borough Market. At Jean Talon Market, the sight of one of the most impressive oyster stalls ever came across was too much of a temptation for this oyster addict to pass-by. Armed with travel medical coverage & the fact that we are still in Canada, I decided to take the plunge & go for it!! Man! Am I glad I did.

The'triple-checked' ( according to the vendor owner ), pristine fresh products, served super cold were so ^^$$@$% good!! In particular, the JUMBO Mamacita, which was so umami sweet, plump & chewy, not overly salty or without an excessive metallic taste. The less imposing size Sea Angle was mighty fine too. But those super-sweet & crunchy Cherry Stone clams?! Wow!!!.....IMO, the best $2 bites in the world!

Oh! BTW, this time I was protected by the Foodie God…..NO food poisoning symptoms!! Pheeeewww!!

I felt like a kid in a candy store here. This is a brilliant shop. If you're in Montreal & you love oysters then you should make it a point to come here.

Coming from New York City there were oysters of fantastic quality that I've had before. Most of the oysters were new to me. Their selection is outstanding. I can't wait to come back here again.

Minor nit: The raspberry mignonette was just ok. The cocktail sauce could use more flavor. I was keen on buying an apron that was on display. It was of great quality. Unfortunately they had none for sale. The other goods that they sell are of remarkable quality.

I wish this place was close to home! Cheers!
