\n<\/div>\n
\nDirection Canada, more precisely Quebec! I’m taking you with me this time to Montreal to discover the local products. On the program, visit of the Jean Talon and Atwater markets. Then visit a small restaurant of Putin! Maple syrup, cranberries, pecans (pecan nuts) are all there! <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nLet’s go right away to our first market, the Jean Talon market… Follow the arrow!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAn early arrival gives me the privilege to not have too many people and to visit at leisure all the places and corners of this market. And I’m lucky, the sun is out! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nOf course, I immediately rushed to the maple syrup stand and left with a small bottle! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nWith the good weather, as for Seattle, the colors take on a life of their own! The seasonal fruits are all here… And especially the blueberries, so delicious! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nIf you want to visit a city, I really think you have to go to a market AND a supermarket at least once! What I do all over the world! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThis garlic seems nicer than the monster elephant garlic I bought in the Pike Place market in Seattle!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThe Jean Talon market is located on a square. The central market is covered and all around this square are a multitude of food-related stores! What an opportunity!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAt the Jean Talon market, you will also find the Librairie Gourmande! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAnd the owner, Anne Fortin, will be happy to help you find the work you are looking for!<\/em><\/div>\n
\nhttp:\/\/www.librairiegourmande.ca\/<\/em><\/a> <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAnd this is the book she recommends to visitors! I didn’t buy it but it looked interesting…<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThe famous strawberries from Orleans Island… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nBut the colors and scents of the market do not need any comment… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nNext to the “gourmet bookstore” is the “maple candy bakery”! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nWith appetizing pastries like the Cranberry Pecan Pie! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nIn the market there is also an exciting cooking store, “Cuizin” <\/em>
\n http:\/\/www.cuizin.ca\/<\/em>
\n<\/a> <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nA lot of kitchen articles will make the happiness of the cooks in search of utensils not found in France! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nLet’s go now to the old Montreal… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nTo discover the restaurant “Montreal Poutine” at 161 St Paul East, specialized in poutine and smoked meat. <\/em><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nIn the inner courtyard there is a shaded terrace where you can enjoy the light meals that follow…! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nLet’s start the diet with the “Putin”. The photo is of the small portion… But what is Putin? Well, a combination of fries, fresh cheddar cheese curds and a brown gravy made with beef stock (and sometimes barbecue sauce, but it’s not traditional poutine). <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAnd here is another specialty, the smoked meat sandwich. <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nOr maybe a smoked meat poutine! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAfter this meal, let’s go to the “Atwater” market to taste the dessert! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThe Atwater Market is the other major market in Montreal at the “Lionel-Groulx” metro station. <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nSmaller than the Jean Talon market, it nevertheless reserves some nice surprises. Starting with the art deco building from 1933…! <\/em><\/div>\n
\nFirst, an outdoor part with fruits, vegetables and flowers. <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nBut also local products… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAnd an interior part… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThe butcher’s shops follow one another and whet the appetite of meat lovers. Like these delicious “ribs”! Next month, I will post my recipe for ribs! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nBut also sellers of homemade pastries (despite the packaging), like these “date squares”. <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThe store “Le Vrac du march\u00e9” is worth a look! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nEspecially for its homemade “peanut butter”, creamy or crunchy!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAnd the “Premi\u00e8re Moisson” pastry shop with its pecan pies… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThe equally delicious sugar pies… <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nAnd many more! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nTo close this trip, a small passage in the Chinese district…<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\nThis area is really worth a visit and has some delicious restaurants!!! But for a real culinary trip in China, it will be for another time! <\/em><\/div>\n
