| Marche' Atwater |
As we are stuck only 40 miles from Montreal, the lure of the big city is irresistible. One of the wonders of the city is the public markets. We chose Marche' Atwater, one of the largest and oldest in the city dating back to 1933. The Art Deco building contains butchers, fromageries (cheese shops), the Premier Maisson Bakery and Restaurant. The out side stands hold many farmers stalls selling both local and imported produce and flowers (ever heard of mini sized Bok Choy?). The whole place is an olfactory overload and simply smells great. If you love food and flowers, as we do, this place is to die for. Without much storage on the Baby Boat, we were forced to restrain ourselves. This meant limited amounts of delicacies and no flowers. It was painful!
Upon our departure from Montreal, we remembered why driving in a city during rush hour is not fun.
