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.

Lunch after a pleasant stroll through the Marche Jean Talon. Great selection of oysters. The smoked fish charcuterie plate was a pleasure. Their version of a reuben sandwich was a pleasure. Good beer.

The short lobster roll, $39 only contains a hotdogs bread with fresh lobster meat. Although it tastes very fresh, it is not enough to fill you up. My husband let me eat two pieces, & I was so touched.

The oysters were good, but we ordered the mixed platters (x3) & everything was served all together, so we couldn't tell which one we were eating. The fish was okay, but honestly I found it overpriced - $47 for a small piece of fish with just two lettuce leaves as a Caesar salad on the side. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't really live up to the price.

Bonjour, nous sommes allées avec 2 amies au restaurant Palomar car il nous semblait bien. Par contre nous avons attendu 1h pour recevoir nos entrées & plats principaux (en même temps) alors que les gens à l'extérieur avaient reçus leurs repas bien avant même si arrivés après nous (l'excuse étant qu'ils avaient demandé des entrés froides & nous des calamars. Le poisson était correct mais les frites étaient horriblement salés, il manquait de verdure dans l'assiette... Nous avons été vraiment déçues par le service reçu honnêtement. Une des serveuse a offert les calamars comme dédommagement pour l'attente & tout, mais vraiment très décevant.
