Time Out Market Montréal is Now Open : Bringing the Best of the City Under One Roof
The highly anticipated opening of the Time Out Market happened a couple of days ago and we promise it’s one of the biggest events of the year. The hype was present and let me tell you, they delivered. I fell in love with the one in Lisbon when I visited back in 2017 and when I heard they were bringing the concept to Montreal…! There is food from 16 of Montreal’s most outstanding restaurants making food from all over the world, exciting craft cocktails from top mixologists, culinary classes and cultural experiences you aren’t ready for.
As the centrepiece of Centre Eaton de Montreal on Sainte-Catherine Street, Time Out Market introduces a new culinary and cultural destination into the heart of the city. Spanning 40 000 sq ft, Time Out Market Montréal showcases the very best the city has to offer with its eateries, demonstration kitchen, cooking school, three bars, cultural space and retail area.
To select Montreal’s best culinary talents, the local Time Out editorial team tested and tasted the city’s best food and then invited some of the very best chefs and restaurateurs to join the ride. The result of this curation is a stellar lineup, offering an incredible range of local cuisine but made affordable. You pay for the food and that’s it; no fluff, no extra fees – only the goodness of flavours and the uniqueness of the dish.
Here are the featured restaurants : Burger T, Montreal Plaza, Le Club Chasse et Pêche, Paul Toussaint, Charles-Antoine Crête & Cheryl Johnson, Romados, Olive & Gourmando, Moleskine, Red Tiger, Marusan, Il Miglio, Foxy, Grumman 78, Foodchain, Hof Kelsten and Dalla Rose.
“Time Out Market is about exploring the different cuisines and cultural experiences, seeing the chefs and their teams cooking right before you; it is about enjoying the casual atmosphere at communal tables and spending time with family and friends. We are dedicated to democratizing fine dining — we are making fine dining casual, and casual extraordinary.”
As mentioned earlier, a beverage offering complements the culinary experience Time Out Market Montreal. It showcases a wide variety of non-alcoholic drinks as well as several counters serving beer, wine, and spirits, in addition to an unparalleled menu of craft cocktails featuring recipes from ten of the city’s best bars. Flavoured water is always on tap whenever you want it, which is a nice touch we appreciated.
Time Out Market Montréal is part of the global expansion of this culinary phenomenon. Following the success of Time Out Market Lisbon in 2014, the Montreal location is one of five food and cultural markets Time Out Group is bringing to North America this year: Time Out Market Miami and New York opened in May 2019, Boston in June 2019, Montreal and Chicago followed in November 2019. Time Out Market is also set to come to Dubai (2020), London-Waterloo (2021) and Prague (2022).
