The Atwater Market is one of two large public markets in Montreal. They have a wide selection of meat, cheese, and produce vendors, and everything offered there is much better than anything you would find in a grocery store. Each butcher specializes in different kinds of meat, and Fromagerie Atwater (on the lower level) has an amazing selection of cheeses. Les Douceurs du Marche is another great shop, with an amazing selection of spices, sauces, oils, and other gourmet food items. Definitely go early on weekends if you want to get the best produce, meat or seafood, as it can get extremely busy in the afternoon.

Parks & Nature
Walk in the trails, nice view of Montreal from the top. Sunday's the day for tam-tams. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (the same landscape architect who crafted New York’s Central Park), the “mountain” park at the heart of the city is the city’s most iconic landmark — and the most popular place to snap a Montréal selfie. Reach the viewpoint at the top of Mount Royal Park by walking up the stairs or with a guided tour.
