Bonsecours Market

Definitely a place to visit in Montreal. If you’re looking for something special and memorable to bring with you from Montreal check a store called Mtl decor. There is amazing wall art handmade by a local designer. And also you gonna be nicely surprised the variety of collection money you can buy there. Definitely worth visiting!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that what I initially thought was a government building turned out to be Montreal's historical public market – what a nice find! During the evening, the building looked stunning, beautifully lit up and immediately caught my attention with its vibrant colors and impressive cupola. However, in the daylight, it seemed rather unremarkable from the outside. Nevertheless, the street in front of the market was charming, adorned with lovely vegetation-filled pots and numerous benches for relaxation. Inside, the market is spread across two floors with an array of small shops and stores, mostly catering to tourists and visitors rather than locals. Some offered unique arts and crafts, while others seemed like typical tourist traps with questionable souvenirs. Nonetheless, I guess there was something interesting for everyone. Personally, I was lucky to find something I had been searching for – old Canadian banknotes! The store called MTL Decor, located on the ground floor, had a vast collection of banknotes from all over the world, including the withdrawn Canadian notes with Queen Elizabeth II's portrait, which I was specifically looking for. They also had rare and collectible pieces, valued at several thousand dollars. Like I said, this market truly has something for everyone's taste! Visited on a Sunday, July 2023. Paid by card.

It was okay, expected a lot more but it was just touristy things and trinkets. We had to fold our stroller to go up through the back of the building, main entrance is around the corner and much more manageable

Very large and old building! Great to buy gifts and arts! Lots of people on the weekend! Many restaurants!

Went to marché Bonsecours for a kampai Montreal saké tasting event. It was amazing. You got to taste all kind of saké. There were so many variety of saké (normal to fruity). One my favorite was the yuzu and Japanese plum. The event was good but it could be more elaborated. Highly recommended for people who love saké and have a restaurant business.

A nice tourist attraction, however not much to do and the single place to eat doesn't have much. Still worth a visit if you are in the area. The building itself looks amazing

Not really a ‘market’. This is a building with one row of small shopping stalls. No boutiques upstairs or in the lower level. Mostly tourist souvenirs. Some jewelry and cafe. Very underwhelming.
