One of my favourite parts about living in Ville Marie is how accessible Marche Atwater is. Great selection of smaller vendors, featuring the farm fresh produce of course. Personally I shop more at the stores in the interior arcade. There are two grocery stores in this market that have amazing selections of products you don't find in larger grocery stores. The butchers & cheese shops are awesome here too. Of course this is an expensive place to do daily shopping but for a few specialty items to treat yourself it's a great destination.
Marché Atwater offers an impressive variety of high-quality products all in one place.
The market is known for its fresh fruits & vegetables, artisanal breads, pastries, cheeses, meats, spices, & specialty items from different cultures. Everything is well-organized, clean, & clearly presented, making it easy to explore & enjoy.
You'll find local producers alongside specialty vendors offering olive oils, balsamic vinegars, dried fruits, & gourmet ingredients. The bakery section is especially strong, with fresh bread & pastries baked daily.
It's a reliable place to shop for fresh, seasonal products, quality ingredients, & unique food items, whether for everyday cooking or something more special.
Highly recommend Marché Atwater for groceries, local butchers, boulangerie & a great variety of lunch places! Highly recommend fromagerie Atwater for cheese!
Love going in all seasons for veggies, cheese & bread.
In the summer, the restaurants with the terrace is absolutely worth it except for the amount of people on the weekend.
I love the Atwater market. I always checkout La douceur de marche for specialty foods & seasonings & all the veggie & fruit vendors. There is also a great cheese selection in one of the stores. You got everything you could possibly want at this market! Love the colourful vibe here
The market is great. It is great for meats, cheese, specialized products & many other things. The fruits & vegetables are of high quality. There are less people selling fruits & vegetables than other markets but there is a lot of varieties of very good quality.
Perfect to get fresh meat products & cheese. It also has fruits & veggies & some specialities like chocolatier or a shop that sells all kinds of nuts, müesli or flours. & good prices, too. Moreover, there are lots of seasonal products.
Visited here to pick up a picnic for lunch. Loads of options: nuts, cheese, charcuterie, spreads, breads, cakes, fruit, maple products, crackers, cakes, salads, alcohol, soft drinks, crisps & more. Good, fresh quality. Fair pricing, a little expensive here & there. Lots of free tasters & people willing to help. Got a perfect picnic to enjoy

One of the best markets in Montreal for local products & at prices that are reasonable for what they sell & very good friendly service. Lots of choices of Quebec fruits, vegetable, cheeses & other items...
Ahhh...the season is wonderful. Some veggies ahead of schedule due to heat & rain we've had. We bought berries galore, corn, basil for pesto. Had a visit inside to get some needed stuff in bulk. So glad we have this, & more markets in our town. Anytime is a great time to head there...did I mention the cheeses...OMG !!!
High prices. Perfect for rich yuppies. Nearby condo owners with IT salaries can afford it. The rest of us, well. ... ?.
Farm produce seems fresher than in some big chain stores, but pricier.
How many actual farmers are here, as opposed to middlemen renting stalls & THEY buy from the farms?
Recently bot cheese'on sale' there..reduced from $125/kg.!
However I admit. It was part of a package, 3 small cheeses for $18.
Exotic brands. We notuliced all is labelled in French only..in accordance with Quebec's increased efforts to extinguish all traces of English.

Got this amazing yogurt from the market! Highly recommended! All flavors are great! The market has a lot of cheese options too. Very fun to shop around.
Visiting Marché Atwater is a delightful experience. I spent time exploring the incredible selection of food, from artisanal cheeses to fresh fish & nuts, & couldn't resist picking up a few items. The variety & quality of products were truly impressive. After shopping, I enjoyed a slice of pizza & some coffee, taking in the lively yet cozy atmosphere. The market's location near the canal is a bonus - I walked along the scenic path & noticed many people biking with Bixi rentals or simply enjoying the area with a coffee in hand. While I live near Jean Talon Market & often shop there, Marché Atwater offers its own charm & is definitely worth a visit. It's a great spot to grab fresh, local goods & enjoy a relaxed outing in Montreal.
Atwater is great for fresh meats seafoods & cheeses all year. The fruit & 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 & one can walk & enjoy the sights.
