We landed up at the Marche (Market) Jean-Talon after a sweltering walk up Mont Royal and a Uber trip down to the Market. My wife had high expectations and a... read more desire to sample the fabled 'crepes" in Montreal. We saw a large line of people waiting for their crepes at the Creperie Du Marche and so we joined in.

After wending our way in line we ordered the buckwheat crepes. There were a wide variety of fillings and we chose the breakfast like crepes with ham and egg filling in a buckwheat crepe. We had to wait for a while for the food to be cooked and delivered - we had to wait off the side standing while the food was being prepared.

After an almost twenty minute wait, our crepes were ready (three of us) and we had found a table in the meantime and were ready to sit down to the meal at hand. The crepes were tasty (cooked roasted brown in butter - thin and crispy) and the filling was well blended into the crepe base. The ham was chopped up into little pieces and the egg had been spread evenly into the crepe as it was cooking. The midi meal also comes with arugula in a vinegary dressing and a drink.

All in all, we spent a lot more time at the creperie than the walk around the market. The Marche Jean-Talon is very interesting with lots of produce at its best in the August summer sun. The market itself is open to the sides and is probably closed for Canada's famous winters!

  Excellent lunch of one large buckwheat crepe with ham and egg, along with a side salad and drink. The service is slow since each crepe is cooked to order, but... read more well worth the 10 minute wait. Very few options for eating within the Jean Talon market, this being especially helpful for those of us with gluten issues. Delicious and generously portioned.

  A nice surprise to find a creperie in the midst of a farmer's market full of veggies and fruits. Both savory and sweet crepes are offered at decent prices. Service... read more was somewhat slow on a busy Sunday afternoon. The crepes were better than average but not "heavenly!"
