Marché Atwater
If Jean-Talon is too far or too big, this smaller market is the easy alternative — a lovely 1933 Art Deco hall with a clock tower, right on the Lachine Canal. Grab Quebec cheese, charcuterie, bread, and a sugar pie, then walk two minutes to the canal to picnic. It pairs a market, a beautiful building, and a waterside walk in one compact, central-west outing.
A smaller, beautiful Art Deco market hall beside the Lachine Canal — Quebec cheese, charcuterie, and bakery goods, perfect for a canal-side picnic.
