Time Out Market Montréal is a food hall and gastrobar at 705 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, in the centre of Montreal. It brings together a selection of the city's cooks, restaurateurs and food and drink vendors under one roof, so a visit can cover several kinds of cooking in a single stop.
What the visit offers
- A curated set of local food and drink vendors, rather than a single kitchen
- A gastrobar atmosphere for an evening drink alongside a meal
- Live events and cultural programming held in the space
Because the stalls sit together, the market suits groups with different tastes: one person can order a dish from one counter while a companion chooses something from another, and everyone can sit down together. It also works well for a relaxed meal without a reservation for a formal restaurant, though you may wish to check ahead whether a particular event is running on the day you plan to come.
Around the market
The address places the market in the heart of downtown Montreal, on Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, so it can be combined easily with other stops in the city centre. Many visitors use it as a starting point for an evening out, moving on afterwards to explore the surrounding streets.
If you are deciding whether to go, the market is a good choice when you want variety, a lively room and the chance to try several local vendors in one place, rather than committing to a single restaurant.
