We'll begin in front of the main entrance of Marché Jean-Talon, one of the largest open-air markets in North America. First up, you'll wet your palate with a bottle of crisp apple juice, cold-pressed at a farm in Quebec's apple capitol Rougemont. 

Next, you'll bite into a warm focaccia bread sandwich jam-packed with fresh local ingredients like hand-carved prosciutto and handmade cheese.As we journey further into the market, get ready for a sensory overload as we visit at our favorite fromagerie and boucherie followed by a tasting of some of the freshest seasonal produce in the city.Of course no visit to the Jean-Talon Market would be complete without chowing down on a mouthwatering artisanal sausage and indulging in a decadent maple syrup tart.

After which, it's time to head into Petite Italie, Montreal's very own Italian-Canadian neighborhood.As we explore, you'll hear stories of proud immigrants from Sicily and the Mainland and sample treasured family recipes from Palermo and Rome.

And finally, Nonna will never let you leave hungry as we prove there's always room for ice cream -- or in this case, gelato or sorbet! -- at one of the neighborhood's most popular cafés.As with all our tours, there's also our delicious Secret Dish.
