Built in 1847 in the heart of Old Montreal, the Bonsecours Market is a veritable explosion of creativity – Québec style. This two-storey public market is a fascinating place where fashion, art and culture collide with exceptional results.
For over a century, this stately heritage building was home to the city’s main farmers market. Today, it is a hub of shops and exhibition spaces that feature local designs including hand-crafted jewellery, furniture, artwork, fashion and more. The market is also home to the Craft Council of Québec and the Institute of Design Montreal.
Not only is this high-end shopping centre choc-full of exclusive boutiques for the style savvy, it also provides a space for local artisans to produce and sell their wares. The overriding motto here is “Made in Québec” so, if you’re looking to pick up some unique Montreal souvenirs, this is where you'll find them.
When your credit card has had enough, console yourself with a wander around some of the free galleries. Dedicated entirely to the pursuit of fashion, the Museum of Costumes and Textiles showcases the finest Québécois fashion. Fashionistas, don’t miss the Big Fashion Sale, held in the market in April and October. Featuring a range of clothing by Québec designers, this is the place to be to stay on top of all the latest trends.
When it’s time to eat, grab a table at the flamboyant Cabaret du Roy restaurant where costumed waiters will regale you with 18th-century colonial aplomb. Featuring the very best in local cuisine, this award-winning restaurant is a particular hit amongst families with young children.
Now a designated National Historic Site of Canada, the market building’s marble architecture and spectacular domed roof were originally designed to impress visitors to the city. Anyone who visits the wonderful market today will be left in no doubt that this goal has been well and truly achieved.
