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.
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.
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
Visited in January & had a great selection of veggies & fruit. The pastry shop upstairs was very crowded on a Saturday so if you want anything try to get there early. We walked around for about an hour & bought some interesting items not available in the US.
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.
Loved the market, great selection of cheese, fresh charcuterie. Great samosas, picked up a bread & had a picnic At the tables. Highly recommend fruits vege & everything else.

I have been to this market in over 15 years since I live a bit far from it. It has changed a lot in all this time. They have outdoor restaurants with delicious food. The stores inside are amazing with so many different selections on pretty everything from fresh pasta, bakery to spices. I enjoyed my visit!
Delicious food from the venders in the food court. Great selection of local organic produce, we even found some things we have yet to see anywhere else in the city. Prices are a bit steep but keep in mind they are not large chains with warehouses full of supplies.

It's clear that the market places a strong emphasis on quality & freshness, which is evident in every stall. Marché Atwater is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best in local produce & enjoy a pleasant shopping experience in a bustling, yet welcoming environment. Highly recommended!
