Marché du Vieux-Port

Vous devez faire un detour a ce petit marché ! Avec des centaine de produits frais du terroir a petit prix vous pourrez en profiter pour vous remplire la bedaine un peu :)
De plus, il y a plusieurs stand pour deguster des produits gratuitements. (Vin, fromages, fort)

Nice variety And quality, products are good, very good.
Bought cheese, And the day after had to visit again just to get some more cheese, se Bought han, And bread, while wine geleè, sausages, And enjoyed them all. Maple mistare, and maple butter, though i haven’t tried i am looking forward to using them. It is small, cannot be compared to St. Lawrence market, but great quality things made it worthwhile.
Even the restaurant of the market, which does not look promising at all. Turned out to be way way much better than expected.
Had I not been a tourist, I would have bought many more things.
The area with herbs and spices is a cook’s dream.

A small market with independent venodors. Produce, baked items, jams. Good for locals and tourists. It’s not large, so don’t plan on spending a lot of time there. Picked up some blueberry sauce that was worth the trip to Canada.

Like everything in Quebec this market is just as charming and delightful. It was farther than what it looked like on the map but it is so worth it to check it out.
The two wings offer a wide selection of meats, vegetables and fruit from local farmers. The middle section offers some food for those who are hungry. If you aren’t hungry from looking all the selection of cheeses, meats and fruit.
We decided to try the hotdog/​sausage and the eatery sandwich. Sat outside and had a wonderful casual lunch. Next time we are going to do what the Quebec table next to us did. Get some bread. Cheese. Meat. Macroons. Lunch!

Awesome place to check out and visit. Come hungry and enjoy some fresh produce and such. If you are into fresh Maple Smoked Atlantic Salmon, they have it. If travelling bring a cooler and take home some meat pies and cheeses.

Fun to check out this marche. Food is beautiful and fresh, albeit a bit expensive. The vendors were friendly and happy to have you sample their wares. A nice walk and change of pace from the galleries and antique stores on the other side of the street.

I can only wish that I had a market like this anywhere close to where I live. What a fantastic selection of local foods wine vegetables and knickknacks.
We build A lunch based on local cheese, jamon, pork sausage, onion compote, mustard, foie gras mouse. and wine including a delicious ice cider for desert.
This is the place that you can go crazy in.
If you are in Québec’s city it’s a must stop. It takes the concept of a farmers market to a whole new level.

Open markets are a great place to come and frolic, browse, walk like an old man with your hands behind your back and take in the shops and scenery. For me as an individual who loves all things food it’s soul therapy. No matter what kind of stress I’m feeling or if I’m in a bad mood this is one of my favourite activities.
Here at the Marché du Vieux Port, it is somewhat emptying out as they are getting ready to move later on in the year to a new location near the Videotron Arena being built for the Remparts (and possible Quebec Nordiques hockey??). Perhaps I was just there on mal timing as it was a weekday and the producers and kiosks get all prepped up for the weekend.
A work colleague mentioned to come get some cider from Pedenault Ciderie.
They had a counter store there. He mentioned they have lots of fantastic ciders from this gem of a place on Isles au Coudres. Also was mentioned Madame Pedenault is usually working the stand.
there are other maple syrups stands, a sausage place, beer place, seafood and others with copious selection and other fine producers. What I appreciated about the Marche Du Vieux Port is the difference in selection of items compared to Marche Jean Talon or Atwater in Montréal. Although much smaller in scale still quite acceptable.
The location right down on the water makes for what I would estimate to be a fantastic day in Spring, Summer or Fall in QC by yourself, with a significant other or the family. Come enjoy it before they move location to a more land locked location near the new arena. Support local producers who put their soul into their product they want you to enjoy!

I don’t know what it’s like on other days, but when I was there on early Friday afternoon, it was very very sad looking. Not more than 6 stalls in operation, with hardly any customers.

It’s good but don’t break your neck trying to go to this one. If you made a trip to Montréal’s Jean-​Talon or Atwater markets this pales in comparison so if you had to squeeze out one destination this might be it.
If you have nothing left to do and it’s past museum closing time it’s still rather interesting to browse. This place I could see as more appealing to locals who want to cook a fine meal with good, local, fresh ingredients but not necessarily a tourist stop like the ones in Montréal. Kitschy French-​Canadian wood plaques for your kitchen such as «welcome» and something that roughly translates to «I live in my cat’s house.» (An aside: I noticed Québécois have quite a reverence for cats and it is quite easy to find cat themed merchandise.)

I fancy myself a bit of a market connoisseur. By this I mean no matter where I travel — be it Morocco, San Francisco, the Netherlands and beyond, you can bet your bottom I am going to search out the local farmers markets and covered markets. What better way to see a culture firsthand than where businesses and consumers collide on the daily?
This particular market is located only a few blocks from Old Quebec with easy access by car. Items of note: ice ciders and wines (Canadian specialties), fresh pastries, clothing, maple syrup everything, fresh Christmas trees — when in season, soaps and more. Well worth an hour or two of your time. (do yourself a favor and try the ice cider — it’s like a sipping liqueur — they sell them in airplane friendly sizes!)

It’s a great market, with a variety of fresh produce, ciders and wines, and most notably, cheese curds, which were delicious!
Some stalls may only take cash.

If you’re going to Quebec and visiting the old city then you MUST visit the market in the old port. This was the experience I was hoping for that we didn’t get in Montréal. Since we came in July at the height of summer, there was plenty of locally produced goods and tons of farmers markets delights. If the US didn’t have such stupid importation laws regarding food, I would have totally piled in all sorts of cheese, meats, and other foodstuffs for the trip home.

It’s no St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, but this market does its job in offering local products to the city’s residents and (to an extent) tourists as well.
There are various stalls here, with some duplicates, that mostly feature local authentic Quebec-​style ingredients, such as foie gras and rillettes. They also have a lot of raw seafood, which probably isn’t fit for tourists but were popular amongst local residents. There were also some stalls that were selling plants and flowers, also mostly attracting the local crew instead of tourists.
All the stalls I went to had employees who can speak good English, so communication will not be an issue. If you purchase something within one hour, the parking in the market lot is free, so make use of it!

Le Marché du Vieux-​Port est comme un festival d’articles artisanaux ouvert à l’année longue. Il regorge de produits du terroir et d’autres productions artisanales. J’adore me promener le long des allées pour trouver un bon vin et des saucisses assaisonnées pour le souper.
La majorité des produits sont bien entendu de la nourriture. Mais on déniche parfois des objets de fabrication artisanale, tels que des bijoux ou des vêtements en laine d’alpaga.
Le seul hic: les marchants sont souvent les mêmes. L’été est sans doute le meilleur moment pour s’y rendre, puisqu’on y trouve des fruits frais et beaucoup plus d’exposants.

good market with a lot of local variety of food and goods from the Quebec area.
You can spent some time here gossiping and sampling. All stores are indoor.

Beautiful market! You can find lots of stuff here, anywhere from produced, breads, cheese, etc… Located near the Old Quebec, about 5 minutes walk. We purchased some maple syrup & some jam. The lady was friendly & polite. Great service!
Great place to walk around.

This is certainly a tourist attraction and as a market, you would probably have to be decently well off to afford buying your produce here. There is certainly a feeling of the tourist markup effect when comparing the prices here compared to local stores.
The old port market is a good way to kill a few hours during the day, especially if the weather isn’t too great. I visited in August which was technically still summer but it was unseasonally cold one day and the market offered a respite from the chilly winds. At the times berries were in season and virtually every stall was selling strawberries by the basket as well as blueberries. Coming from Australia, we are not used to having such abundant access to fresh blueberries and I certainly made the most of them during my time in Canada and especially at these types of markets.
The market is a short taxi ride from downtown Quebec and is certainly walkable from VIeux Quebec.

Toute ville qui se respecte se doit de posséder un marché digne de ce nom. Le marché du vieux-​port de Québec est plutôt bien, il abrite sous un même toit producteurs maraîchers, artisans charcutiers et poissonniers, producteurs vinicole et autres boissons alcoolisées locale, une épicerie multi-​ethnique et une aire de restauration. J’y fais mes courses à l’année (oui, oui, ouvert même durant la saison hivernale!!), j’y fais entre 1 et plusieurs arrêts par semaines (c’est sur mon chemin pour aller au boulot!) pour m’arrêter dans mes kiosques coup de coeur. Seul bémol sur le marché, on aimerais vraiment que les producteurs maraîchers se renouvelle un peu. Y’en a marre de se faire présenter le chou rave ou encore la betterave jaune comme étant nouveaux, originaux ou pire encore, «spéciaux». De la vrai nouveauté ferait vraiment du bien! De plus, je crois qu’aucun producteur n’est bio. Ainsi, puisque les épiceries offrent parfois plus de variétés de légumes intéressantes que les producteurs du marché (aucune offre de tomates aux formes ou couleurs originales, pas de laitues différentes comme la scarole, ou encore de betterave chiogga…)la seule véritable raison d’acheter ses légumes au marché c’est l’achat local et d’espérer que le légume fut bel et bien cueilli le matin même.
Si ma critique n’était que sur la partie maraîchère, le marché du vieux port optiendrait malheureusement à peine 2 étoiles. Ce qui le sauve, c’est vraiment certains Kiosques bien précis qui offrent des produits d’une qualité irréprochable. Ce sont pour ces petits commerces que je fréquente aussi assiduement le marché.
Les incontournables du marchés:
Le Cochon tout rond: Charcuterie artisanale délectable! À essayer impérativement la coppa, le saucisson figatelli, le forestier (si vous êtes chanceux, il n’est pas produit à l’année) et le saucisson ménage sel et poivre. Rien à envier aux charcuteries Européenne.
Poissonnerie Atkins: Plusieurs poissons frais et cuisiner. À essayer le pavé de saumon fumé, les maquereaux aux poivres, le gravlax et la rillettes de homard et coriandre. Excellent endroit pour le poisson frais également. J’y achète souvent le saumon pour le tartare ou le gravlax. Toujours d’une belle fraîcheur.
Cassis Mona et Filles (seulement l’été et durant le marché de Noël) productrices de cassis sur L’île d’Orléan, près de Québec, elles transforment ces petits fruits en délectable produits. Il faut impérativement essayer leur recette de Sangria au vin de cassis, elle deviendra rapidement un incontournable de vos soirées d’été. Leur crème de cassis est également un incontournable à posséder dans son bar-​maison. Et à essayer, le Capiteux, une boisson madérisé et fortifié parfaitement équilibré.
Épicerie la route des Indes: C’est littéralement l’endroit que je fréquente le plus au marché. J’y trouve tout ce dont j’ai besoin, que je cuisine une paella ou un bibimbap. Les casiers à épices au fond de la boutique sont absolument charmant et renferment TOUT ce dont vous cherchez. Vous avez besoin de galanga? Ils en ont moulu, en petits morceaux ou en grands morceaux. Merveilleux ! J’adore cet endroit, j’aime m’y perdre quelques temps et avoir l’impression, l’espace d’un instant, d’être dans un marché à Hanoï, à Marakesh ou encore à Mumbaï.

Gorgeous market in Quebec.
It’s not huge, but has a good mix of stalls.
Cons:We thought the fresh fruit was overpriced
Pros: The beer stall has an amazing array of unique and interesting collections.
Overall, I would rate this market to be great for specialty products (wine, beer, oils), not a great market for fresh produce because of the price and not as much variety

Le Marché du Vieux-​Port est un incontournable en ville pour ceux qui se soucient de manger local et frais. On y retrouve une foule de commerçants et producteurs de Québec qui se spécialisent en produit maraichers, en chocolats, pâtisseries, breuvages, etc. Il y en a pour tous les goûts et on y fait souvent de belles découvertes.
Bien que le marché soit assez grand en longueur, il est fait de façon plutôt étroite. Ainsi, je me sens souvent un peu étouffée lorsque je le visite puisqu’il est très populaire auprès des résidents du coin, mais également des touristes.

Le Marché Public du Vieux Port est un endroit idéal pour aller acheter des fruits et légumes frais ainsi que d’autres produits, en plein cœur de Québec. Je né ferrais pas mon épicerie de la semaine ici, mais de temps en temps, c’est agréable aller y acheter des ingrédients frais. Plusieurs fermes de l’Île d’Orléans viennent ici vendent leurs produits pendant l’été, ce qui est parfait pour ceux qui né veulent pas faire le détour. Je vous conseille de goûter aux tartes de la ferme Polyculture Plante. Elles sont toutes bonnes et faites avec des petits fruits fraichement cueillis de l’Île d’Orléans.

Gigantic Farmers Market!
Breads, beignets, cakes, clothing, coffee, flowers, fruits, gelato, honey, jams, jewelry, ketchups, lobsters, oils, macarons, maple syrup, quiche, mustards, nougats, nuts, pates, pies, salsas, sausages, spices, teas, vinegars, vegetables, wines.
We bought a jar of fruit salsa and 2 bottles of apple wine.
Gorgeous location down in the harbor area. A very worthwhile stop when you’re visiting QC

Que l’on soit fan ou pas de marché public, le Marché du Vieux-​Port est un incontournable à Québec pour des produits frais, quel qu’en soit la nature. Parce qu’une promenade à travers le (long) marché nous amèné à croiser maints kiosques, souvent différents (les commerçants louent un espace) et qui couvrent pas mal toute la chaîné alimentaire, avec des bijoux et autres accessoires du genre en prime.
L’été, on ouvre les portes le long de plusieurs aires du marché, on peut alors profiter du beau temps tout en magasinant les bouteilles de cidre, la morue séchée salée et les tartes aux pommes fabriquées avec amour dans la région.
Et tout au fond du long corridor qui compose le marché, on trouve une épicerie fine qui offre des produits d’un peu partout dans le monde. Franchement sympathique !

Chaque midi d’été, je me plais à aller me promener au Marché du Vieux-​Port. Encore cette semaine, j’ai pu y goûter des fraises délicieuses et généreuses, une mousse de canard aux Canardises excellentes et voir de nombreux plants de tomates, aubergine et fines herbes. J’y retrouve également différents produits fins comme des huiles d’olive aromatisés, des vinaigres particuliers et même des savons artisanaux.

Un arrêt est impératif si vous marchez dans le Vieux-​Port, et un détour s’impose si vous êtes quelque part dans le Vieux-​Québec. Y circule à l’année longue une pelletée de marchands proposant de délicieux produits du terroir. Autant de kiosques que de saveurs, lesquelles sont en harmonie avec les saisons. Davantage occupé du printemps jusqu’à l’automne, on trouve de tout pour le gourmand qui veut manger local: cidre, sirop d’érable, vin, miel, fraises, pommes, fromages, pains, charcuteries, etc. Ce n’est qu’un très pâle aperçu, vous l’aurez deviné. Durant le temps des fêtes, eh bien là, on sombre carrément dans l’excès des ripailles de Roi.
La variété générale du Marché du Vieux-​Port est en partie influencée par le genre de producteurs qui se loueront un kiosque. On a donc toujours le droit à des surprises et découvertes gustatives; c’est en partie pourquoi j’adore venir me balader ici. On y trouve aussi quelques commerces permanents, dont la Fromagère du Marché, ou La Route des Indes, épicerie fine exotique.

In a town that has no shortage of tourist destinations, I highly recommend a trip to this market as one of them that is not touristy. Here you can see all of the Quebec specialty foods in one place. My tip an authentic Quebec experience– buy yourself a lovely loaf of artisan bread and a small portion of cretons to go with it for your breakfast. Or grab a biere d’epinette at the little beer store and then hit the cafeteria in the middle for a surprisingly good order of poutine.
Some stalls are cash only, others (liquors, wine, cider) do credit.

Wherever we travel, my husband and I like to take a look at local markets.
When possible we like to see where the locals are doing everyday things like food shopping.
Here in Quebec City we happened upon the farmers market down by the port which is open year round.
It’s indoors but quite airy, bright and in a very large space.
You can find all manner of local produce, cheese, breads, pastries, maple syrup, jams, jellies, wine, meats and flowers. We had a field day in here twice!
We had a couple of picnics while in Quebec and this was one of the places we found delectable provisions and had fun while shopping.
While it’s a busy place we never had to wait for service. And although several of the sellers here didn’t speak English we got by just fine. Everyone was polite and helpful.
We tried several local cheeses recommended to us by one of the sellers all of which were delicious.
My husband enjoyed the sausage stall where he purchased several local favorites. The seller was from France having moved to Quebec awhile ago. He was a lot of fun to talk to.
The breads were delicious and fresh. The fruit, particularly the berries, were fantastic.
There is also a smoked fish stall where I bought an absolutely delicious piece of salmon which reminded me of some I used to buy that was made by Native Americans in Washington State which was out of this world.
This stall had all kinds of smoked fish and had we been there longer I would have tried other things like the trout which looked amazing.
Sampling is encouraged so if you’re not sure about something, ask for a taste.
If you drive there, parking is free if you purchase something and get your card stamped; otherwise the fee is fairly nominal.
Don’t miss a visit here when you’re in Quebec City.

Petit mais tres sympa. Produits frais.
(Voir photo ci-​dessous)
On peut également s’y restaurer.

Joli marche avec les produits locaux. Miel. Érable. Viande d’autruche. Vin et cidre de glacé. Pour ma part le beurre de pomme et d’érable sont originaux !
Ferme a 17hoo.
