(ENG) When you move to another city to live, the central market should be one of the first things to discover. Especially if you want fresh, new, diverse food on your table. You go to the market to choose the best, to inhale the spirit of the city, to explore, to communicate, to negotiate, to smell and to finally understand what kind of products or moments could make you wish to come back here.
Jean Talon Market, located in the heart of Montreal, is a place I had kept for the dessert, I mean for some later-to-come “good times”.
Suddenly this good time came. And that long, sunny, free Sunday afternoon offered me the chance to visit this legendary place. I turned off the housekeeper and turned on the gourmand in me. So it was a real trip of tastes.
At the very beginning, on the left as well as on the right side of the entrance, you can choose your first snack: meat or seafood. I ignored les saucissons, despite a very nice boy, inviting me with a smile.
