Palomar mise sur la qualité irréprochable des poissons et des produits marins présentés avec une précision technique rigoureuse. Le menu souligne la pureté brute de la pêche, complétée par des planches de charcuteries artisanales mettant en valeur les techniques de salaison traditionnelles. Les ingrédients arrivent quotidiennement des fournisseurs locaux afin de garantir une sélection rotative dictée par les cycles de récolte et la disponibilité océanique. La cuisine emploie des méthodes de préparation minimalistes conçues pour accentuer les saveurs naturelles sans fioritures inutiles. Les convives interagissent avec un espace défini par des éléments de design utilitaires qui reflètent l'honnêteté de l'approvisionnement et de la préparation. Cet établissement privilégie le lien direct entre la fraîcheur du marché et l'assiette pour ceux recherchant une expérience culinaire axée sur les provisions côtières et les viandes affinées.
Palomar est largement reconnu pour sa sélection de fruits de mer frais, ses poissons vieillis à sec de grande qualité et son bar cru exceptionnel, ce qui en fait une destination prisée des visiteurs du Marché Jean Talon. Les clients apprécient régulièrement l'ambiance vibrante et détendue, le personnel professionnel ainsi que des plats remarquables comme les moules, le gravlax de saumon et les guédilles au homard. Bien que de nombreux convives rapportent une expérience culinaire agréable avec un service excellent, certains visiteurs ont noté des incohérences concernant les temps d'attente, les tarifs et la qualité de plats spécifiques. Malgré des avis partagés sur certains mets et des lacunes occasionnelles dans le service, le restaurant demeure une adresse très estimée des amateurs de produits de la mer en quête d'une expérience gastronomique unique dans un cadre accueillant.
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!!
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.
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 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.
Beautiful spot to people watch & enjoying something unique. I had the yellow fin tuna cheeseburger with swordfish bacon & 2 rounds of assorted oysters. Loved every bite.
The food is very good from the oysters to the fritto mixto & the charcuterie plate. Everything was very tasty & we enjoyed the scallops & the muscled the most. They tasted fresh & great. The cocktails were also great. Service was a bit slow the day we went but the place was full, this still didn't taint our experience because the food was worth the wait.
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!
This was honestly such a disappointing experience & is a complete tourist trap. We went on a Monday & the restaurant was fairly quiet. We waited outside for 10min before being seated & took the time to look over the menu. Upon getting in, the menu was almost completely different- with half of the options showing as "X" for unavailable. The service was slow & completely disorganized, the shellfish was shucked HORRIBLY & the oysters were not cleaned properly. They had some beautiful raw scallops that they absolutely killed with the amount of oil they served it with. I'm honestly upset that I spend money at this restaurant.
