Lucille's Au Marché is described as part of a vibrant market scene where fresh local foods, cheeses, meats, breads and prepared items are readily available in a beautiful historic building and in outdoor stalls by the canal; the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with many vendors offering high quality products and seasonal events, and visitors enjoy shopping for ingredients, discovering new flavors, sampling treats, and pairing the experience with a meal or a picnic by the water; the market can get busy on weekends, prices can be higher than regular grocery stores, and parking or layout can be challenging, but overall it comes across as a must visit Montreal experience with great variety, quality and a true local vibe.
Not the cheapest place to go... but quality of fruits & pastries is there tho. Better in summer with all the farmers . Decent discount during that time. Rest of time... if not for premier moisson... you can see the place still during winter & find good stuff but it won't be on sale. A solid 7/10 for the quality of produce & the the few things worth my time. But the pricing drags it a bit down.

Stopped by Atwater Market on a Tuesday evening looking for good light for some shots, & honestly the place itself ended up being the real subject. The warm glow coming through the tall windows hit the produce stalls perfectly around 6pm, & I spent way more time there than planned. Grabbed a wedge of aged cheddar from one of the cheese vendors near the back & it was genuinely one of the better things I've eaten this year. If you haven't been on a weeknight when it's quieter, you're missing a completely different & more relaxed version of this place.
A great place to explore, especially if you enjoy fresh food & a lively market atmosphere. Marché Atwater has a really nice mix of local vendors, produce, baked goods, & specialty items, all in a beautiful historic building.
The quality of the products is excellent, & you can tell a lot of the vendors take pride in what they offer. It's a perfect spot to pick up fresh ingredients or just walk around & discover something new. The outdoor stalls in warmer months add even more charm to the experience.
It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which makes it a bit harder to move around comfortably. Prices can also be slightly higher compared to regular grocery stores, depending on what you're buying.
Overall, it's a must-visit market in Montreal with great selection & atmosphere, just best enjoyed outside of peak hours if possible.
It is a charming market by the lachine canal. Great place to visit during the summer. I like that there are options to buy fresh produce as well as prepared meals so there is something for everyone. If you go inside, there is a lovely bakery with fresh cakes. The flower & plant shops outside are also great. The only thing that bothers me is the price of fresh produce. It is very expensive. Overall great place & a good alternative to Jean Talon market.
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.

Really fun market. It's great to have an indoor market when the weather turns cold. Produce is still fresh, beautiful, & delicious even in winter! A good spot to grab some lunch too. Yummy brisket sandwiches & French pastry for dessert!
Vibrant & abundant, alive & full of life! The market is a nice glimpse into Quebec culture through the variety of vendors & the beautiful assortment of grown in Quebec produce. The crowds also shows diversity & excitement. As much as it's a market it's also a cultural center for the city.
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.
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, & all kinds of interesting shops to explore. We come here often for fresh produce & gourmet meats & fancy viennoiseries.
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?!?
Love the Atwater Farmer's Market, always bussling, high spirits especially on weekends. Really good fresh produce. Love having a good brunch, doing grocery shopping, you can get your meat, coffee, cheese, pasta, anything. There is a famous pizza shop here, there is free parking too. Overall, it is an amazing experience.
