how does one go about reviewing a fruit/veggies vendor as its basically all the same thing when one is located in the market? the only distinction is mainly price and probably selection. i have to say though that this particular store is the one i go to when i’m in the mood for some juicy figs. on the other hand, they are more into importing produce than focusing on local. so depending on what you’re looking for and budget and if you want to support local farmers instead of paying for imports. as for me, i’ll keep on enjoying their import figs

Confusing. One day it could be quiet, Duran Duran playing on he speakers and a smiling older Italian woman nodding to herself behind the counter, lovely bright fresh asparagus and other charming, ripe, clean fruit and veg on display. Then the next day, with no warning, you could walk in to be bombarded with 4 simultaneous, fully yelling conversations about«spending money on prostitiutes! ha!» Maybe these are fights or maybe just passionate people speaking at high volume but either way it makes it tough to keep clear-headed in your quest for perfect vegetables and fruit. We scurry out of there quick when the yelling is on. Leopoldo’s is one of the good spots in Jean Talon market but definitely volume-wise, it’s hit or miss.
