Marché Jean-Talon is a famous market in Montreal that sells any food you can possibly imagine. It also has a wonderful creperie that we enjoyed very much. Be sure to arrive hungry!
TIP We walked from Old Montreal (Vieux Montreal) to Marché Jean-Talon (Jean-Talon Market), so we wouldn't miss anything beautiful on the way. We carried our little one in a backpack carrier.

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal (Mount Royal) is known for its cafés, galleries and great architecture. After enjoying the lovely crepes at the marché (market), a stroll back through this neighborhood is quite charming.
TIP We found this part of Montreal was very secluded on a Sunday morning.
