Review Summary

Palomar is widely celebrated as a premier seafood destination located in the Jean Talon Market, offering a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere that is popular for both casual lunches and special outings. Many diners praise the exceptional freshness and quality of the raw bar, particularly the oyster selection and the unique, expertly prepared aged fish dishes. While the majority of visitors highlight the professional service, delicious flavor profiles, and enjoyable terrace seating, some guests have noted inconsistencies regarding service speed, pricing value, and specific dish execution. Despite these mixed experiences, the consensus among regular patrons and newcomers alike is that the restaurant remains a standout spot for those seeking high-quality seafood and a memorable dining experience in a lively market setting.

Visitor from Taiwan! After shopping around Jean Talon Market we were looking for something more filling & found Palomar on Google.

We ordered the oyster sampler, fries (of course), a salmon sandwich, & the charcuterie (thought it was interesting to try different fish).

Oyster, sandwich, & fries were great. Seems like lobster roll is the common choice but boyfriend says sandwich was a better choice 😋 Charcuterie was not as pleasant as I thought. Great nibble food but most of the fish is not fresh! It's actually all processed - like fish salami or jerky.

Saw the table next to us order the pot of mussels & was jealous.

Nevertheless, enjoyable dining experience. Very relaxed. Great service.
If the opportunity comes, I will go back for a glass of wine, fries, & those mussels!!

Have yet to dine at the restaurant, but my go to place for all fish & seafood. Coolest fishmonger in town with their dried & aged fish. Quality cannot be beat.

Superbe découverte au Palomar ! Le menu découverte était vraiment top du début à la fin. Mon trio gagnant : le gravlax de saumon (hyper fondant !), le tartare de thon plein de fraîcheur & l'espadon grillé, juste parfait. On sent que tout est fait avec soin & passion. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !

FOOD TOO GOOD TO HAVE TIME FOR PHOTOS!

Just came back from a delicious dinner.
We were 6, 4 adults & 2 kids. We, by pure chance, happened to come by on the'all you can eat mussels' night. Guess what, by the time we finished the appetizers, we were full :)
We had calamari, onion rings, deep-fried cod balls, oysters (plate of 12, 3 different kinds), french fries that came with delicious aioli sauce, shrimps in garlic sauce, fish & chips, & of course mussels.
The food was delicious, ambiance cool, & the team professional yet very friendly & helpful.
& yes, food was so good, no one had time for pictures.

First of all, I was misled by their'mimosa à volonté' ad, which stated it was only for an hour & a half. The servers were a bit rude because they seemed to be against us, as they wanted to serve us for just an hour. When I asked for a last mimosa 6 minutes before my time ended, they brought just orange juice. If they are going to be upset with clients drinking a lot of mimosas, they should offer'mimosa à volonté.'
