MONTRÉAL  
The heart of the agri-food consumer market!   

One third of Québec’s population is concentrated within the territory of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal. This fact makes this region a consumer market that is as dense as it is diversified. The tourism concentration provides an international perspective and encourages the trading of foodstuffs.
 
In a city as attractive as Montréal, exploring for food products is done in a different way.  While Montréal is certainly not identified as the most sought-after agritourism region in Québec, the island does however have a few agritourism farms that are easily accessible by public transit for city-dwellers wanting to spend some time outdoors.
 
It is the great diversity of products that makes Montréal attractive to food lovers.  From a tour of artisan breweries to the public markets and the Fête Bio Paysanne, Montréal has no lack of foodstuffs to offer in its own way.
The huge selection of restaurants and boutiques specializing in niche and terroir products also adds to the fun of exploring what the city has to offer in the way of food experiences. The guide "Quartiers gourmands" provides a list of stores where you can find this vast array of products.
