Marché Central Mtl - Montréal

Quick service with a variety of great food! Tried poutine for the first time here. It was an interesting mix of cheese curds and fries.

Loved the atmosphere and food options! Trendy place to gather. The fire roasted pizza was delicious.

Reminds me a bit of Time out market but without being attached to a mall. I like the area and a food court makes a lot of sense since there is always something to do around Place des arts and it adds a lot more options than just the complexe desjardins mall food court. They have a nice mix of options and price ranges are $15-$30 depending on what you order and from where. It can get very packed here on nights with shows or other events so it will become hard to navigate around and finding a seat for a big group will be a hassle. I find the layout of the merchants a bit strange because there are some that are hidden in the far back and there's no one way to do a tour of all the options properly because there can be a lot of people and there are many entrances which just means more people and lots of noise. They don't have a buzzer system either so you kinda have to wait for your food at the counter or sit and walk back to the place you ordered with your receipt within the time frame they told you. I've tried a handful of the stalls here and nothing has really wowed me so far except Le petit vibe (but they are sadly closed now and trou de beigne (excellent doughnuts!! . I've also tried Ramen Misoya (a bit too salty and uninteresting broth in my opinion , the mac and cheese bacon poutine from Le gras dur (good but small portion for the price and the mac and cheese nuggets were just frozen ones . I will say despite how this review might seem, I do enjoy coming here. When it's quiet, it's a nice place to sit with a friend and catch up! There's something guaranteed for every craving and the space itself is nice and inviting. Plus you can walk around Place des arts after and check out the light installations in the winter and the street decorations in the summer (or a festival!

Ok this is an amazing food hall! What a great set of choices. I loved the tapas place. The donuts are to die for. And the poke bowl was divine. The little slices of pizza are heavenly, Only negative was the bahn mi Sammie at the Vietnamese place. I was here on a business trip and this place was convenient to my hotel but I recommend even to those who may be staying farther away. So much choice, and such good quality. Each food stall is its own restaurant and if you are with a group, everyone can get their own thing and you can meet up at the big community tables. Yes, gets a bit crowded for sure but a can't miss culinary experience in Montreal.

Great choices and it's like a food court with various different types of food, drinks, and snacks/dessert.
