Insider tips
- ★Visit Marché Jean-Talon on a weekday morning when it's less crowded; weekends draw heavy foot traffic but offer peak vendor selection.
- ★Plateau Mont-Royal's best-preserved character lies on quieter side streets—ask your guide for off-the-beaten-path recommendations.
- ★Little Italy's independent Italian delis and bakeries often have better prices and authenticity than tourist-focused restaurants near the market.
- ★Bring a camera or phone with good battery; the Notre-Dame Basilica and Jean-Drapeau Park offer some of Montreal's most photogenic views.
