Located in the southwest of Montreal, near the Lachine Canal, the Atwater Market has been in existence since 1933 and its Art Deco architecture has earned it a place among the city's most beautiful buildings.

The Market Square offers a beautiful space where you can bubble in summer, with a view of the canal: picnic tables, barbecues, impromptu concerts, there is plenty to do!

Marché Maisonneuve opened its doors in the early ^20th century, in a majestic stone building. A large number of farmers, grocers, butchers and fishmongers worked there for half a century.

Market gardeners, bakers, cheesemakers, butchers, fishmongers and florists are all committed to offering fresh, quality produce all year round.
