Farmer’s Markets and public markets are a great place to shop for food. Since the food is usually farmed and raised locally, it’s often less expensive than grocery stores. Plus by shopping at farmer’s markets, you are supporting the local community.

One of the great things about staying in hostels is that you have access to a kitchen and can cook your own meals. This can save a lot of money while traveling and sharing meals with other people in the hostel is a great way to make new friends.
Montreal has some great farmer’s markets and public markets. Here is a list of some of them. For a more complete list and a map, visit: Marché de Quartier (website is in French)
