Montréal is a place where all different cultures meet. That goes for the architecture, ways of life, fashion and, of course, the food.

Food plays an important role in Montréal’s cultural life, and more and more restaurants are trying to go greener: they tend to get their food from a local farmers’ market.

Montréal has four main markets: Jean Talon, Atwater, De Maisonneuve and Lachine; on top of these four markets, there are smaller neighbourhood markets organized throughout the city.

Since its founding in 1993, the mission of the “Corporation de gestion des marches publics de Montréal” (CGMPM) is to provide Montréalers access to the freshest products in their public markets.
