The Market brings together 15 restaurants and seven bars, so everyone can choose something different to eat, from tacos and Cantonese barbecue to other local and international favourites. There’s communal seating for groups, making it easy to settle in for a relaxed meal.
One of the biggest advantages of visiting Time Out Market Montréal is its location inside the Montréal Eaton Centre. Families can combine the outing with a little shopping or explore more of Downtown without worrying about the weather.
And because the Market is part of the city’s indoor pedestrian network, it’s easy to reach by public transit and connect with other Downtown destinations.
Time Out Tip: Don’t forget to visit the massive new fashion retailer has arrived that’s arrived at the metro level.
