Smack in the heart of downtown Montreal is 40,000 square feet of air conditioned space that’s home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the city—and more.

Ice cream? Cool drinks? Arcades and free DJs? The Market has it all and more.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect iced matcha, or a fresh poke bowl bursting with summer flavours, here are the top 5 coolest reasons to visit Time Out Market Montréal this week:

1. Refreshing mocktails

Lime, cucumber and mint soda; a spritz spiked with grapefruit, orange sec and non-alcoholic bubbly rosé or a gin and tonic with apricot and yuzu are the ideal drinks to wash down one of the city’s best (5 napkin) smash burgers.

Mocktails
No' Gin Tonic; Fruit Défendu; Passionatta; Spritz Rosé; Jardin D'Eden

2. Next-level cocktails with a sustainable twist

Craving a mojito spiked with kaffir lime, litchi and aloe, or a  spicy sake sour with a cucumber twist? You’ve come to the right place.

From a velvety smooth espressotini that uses Tunnel Espresso’s upcycled coffee grounds to an addictively delicious Banana Maï Taï featuring a Haitian tea made from discarded plantain peels, wet your whistle with one (or two) of these next-level cocktails.

3. Fresh summer dishes

From a taste of the impossibly excellent sushi at Le Blossom to the perfect summer dinner (hello, Climats's salmon tartare with crisp fries and even more crisp salad), the Market is chock full of light seasonal meals.

A refreshing glass of rosé to sip with Moleskine's spicy tomato sauce, salami, fennel, fior di latte, honey and basil pizza (or the perfect shrimp or lobster roll) included.

4. Two wine bars

The only thing better than one wine bar is two! Serving a curated selection of delicious charcuterie du terroir and 100% local cheeses, the second wine bar located between Le Blossom and Marusan is also your number one stop for oysters (and a crisp glass or two of wine).

5. Iced caffeinated drinks

It doesn’t get more refreshing than your favourite caffeinated drink on ice, especially when you need a boost. Stop by Tunnel Espresso for the perfect iced matcha, Americano or cold brew.
