Maisonneuve Market has been a cornerstone of community commerce in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for over a century. Originally housed in a grand Beaux-Arts stone building designed by Marius Dufresne in 1912, the market thrived for decades as a hub for farmers, butchers, and fishmongers. Municipal closures in the 1960s forced a hiatus, but thanks to persistent local efforts, it reopened as a farmers’ market in 1980. By 1995, a new, modern building just steps from the original structure restored its full role as a public market.

Today, Maisonneuve Market is a year-round destination for fresh, locally sourced goods, from produce and baked goods to meats, cheeses, and flowers. Vendors bring deep knowledge of their products, making it as much a place for culinary discovery as it is for grocery shopping. Seasonal festivals, tastings, and family-friendly events add to its vibrant atmosphere, ensuring it remains a vital part of Montreal’s market culture.
