Thank you, Palomar, for a lovely lunch. The food was fresh, bursting with flavour, & unique. The soupe du jour was a hit as was the salmon chorizo with pickled beets. Lobster roll was delicious, nicely presented. We were less enamored by the fish & chips, fries were dry & overcooked, batter was thick, a bit heavy. Service was excellent, the team thoughtful & sweet. Nice dining room, the deli counter dominates a bit & takes away from the coziness but the outside fireplace is a fun touch, especially for diners choosing mimosa a volonté ;). Bathrooms really need a bit of TLC to match the standard of the restaurant.

La salade César est extraordinaire mais mon fish a d ship était humide mou & sans sauveur. De plus il y a une odeur de poisson constante qui n est pas très agréable.

Loved this place! The fish was fresh & the fries were homemade! What a treat.

Delicious & original food, at each step: from « poissons affinés « as you do with good cheese, i.e. the fish is not iced but rather kept in special fridges, to the preparation, for instance fish charcuterie, to the presentation (see the Cesar salad, with marinated anchovies). Everything was just perfect & the owner or manager, I don't know, was extremely knowledgeable, explaining the whole process. A wonderful experience, at very reasonable price. Highly recommended

I recently dined at Palomar & tried several dishes. The tuna cheeseburger was absolutely delicious, & the swordfish bacon was a unique & interesting addition-in a good way! The lox bagel was very filling, with a rich & flavorful cream cheese, though the smoked salmon was a bit chewy & fishy for my taste. The fries were perfectly seasoned, & the aioli was a standout accompaniment. The service was excellent; our server was very nice, attentive, & polite. The interior & patio are also beautifully designed, making for a pleasant dining experience overall. I'd give it a 3.5/5!

Wonderful experience in Jean Talon market. This place seems to be very popular, the tables were almost never empty. The drinks (innovative cocktails) were very tasty & the food was fresh & made with love. Frito mixto was an amazing mix of seafood & fish & the sauces that came with them were perfectly complimenting the food.

We stopped at Palomar at Marché Jean-Talon for a weekday lunch in mid-June 2024. Hands down it was the best restaurant meal of our four-day visit to Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious! We started with a dozen Canadian oysters, mostly from Nova Scotia. They were freshly & neatly shucked. Then we shared a fish charcuterie board consisting of gravlax & a couple of dry-cured tuna dishes. Highly recommended, top-quality fish at a very fair price!

Étant une adepte du poisson, & surtout du gravlax de saumon, j'étais très excitée à l'idée de venir essayer le restaurant. Dès mon arrivée, j'ai été très bien accueillie, j'ai tout de suite ressenti l'ambiance conviviale, décontractée & à la fois élégante qui incarnait la place. L'assiette de charcuteries était succulente & surprenante! Quant au fish&chips, satisfaisant & à point. Je recommande totalement cet endroit qui vaut réellement la peine d'être essayé. Je reviendrai!

This seafood restaurant is very special for making unique seafood dishes: fish sausages, seafood bacons & hamon, etc. Definitely worth trying. It's also a delicatessen so you can pick up ready-to-eat food to take home if you want. Worth trying
