An award-winning spot for all manner of fine and delicious Quebec products. I can burn through money here so I have to be careful. The products they choose to feature really are exceptional, it makes you feel excited for what's happening in the…More »

Teeny tiny little shop in the indoor middle of Jean Talon Market (next to Wawel) full of the purest goodness: PIE. Specifically: MAPLE SUGAR PIE. It's so small, it's just amazing how much magic is in here. The staff are always so sweet and easy-going…More »

I agree with Laura R, Prince Noir is a slim, bright, clean purveyor of an exceptionally wide range of high quality organic, local meats. If you are adventurously cooking meat, or eating organic in Montreal you should check this out.

Vegetarians avert your eyes. Quebec pork is some of the best in the world and Porcmeilleur in Jean Talon Market just does do pork better. Lardons, ribs, chops, home maple bacon, all from animals raised and prepared by this small team of Montreal meat…More »
