The heart and soul of Montreal: The Jean-Talon Market

The Market places in Montreal are some of the best in the world.This is the beating heart of most culinarians, from the hipsters in the Mile-end to the families in Ahuntsic, everybody shops there. This post is not about the best spot in the market, which are plenty, but about the spots I frequent more or less frequently.
Day Drink and Brunch, le Pourvoyeur
This is the local watering hole in the market. Right on Jean-talon, it has a beautiful patio.
Pint of Mystique
Spanish Gin and artisanal tonic, this was amazing.
Creton and toast. This was brunch right:)
El Rey Del Taco: solid taco in the market
It usually comes with 3 salsa, the salsa verde is mind-blowing delicious by the way, and the Horchata is a sweet delicious concoction. Cinnamon, milky goodness. 
Cheese and Nopales with tortillas. Wouldn't order again, but they are tasty.
Taco Al Pastor, Chorizo Taco, I Forgot what was the last one but they were all delicious.
La Boite au Huitres, great seafood, from the cheap clams to great amazing oysters.

Poutine Centrale
Stewed maple beef ragu in maple syrup poutine
bacon, mushroom onion poutine
Havre des glaces, amazing ice cream
La Carreta for homie Salvadorean food, pupusas and tamales.







You should visit, go look around, follow your nose, buy some produce, try the small local producers, because it's a great marketplace, with awesome people and great food.
