In the fall, Montreal can be savoured at its markets, around iconic neighborhoods, and through its cosmopolitan culinary specialties. A wide variety of guided tours are available to explore these different foodie destinations, such as the Jean-Talon Market, Old Montreal, and Chinatown. Hopping on a culinary tour is an opportunity to taste local products and learn more about food history and the creations of local chefs. These gourmet tours also offer an original way to rediscover the city, along with the colours and flavours of the season.

In the fall, parks and green spaces all over the Island of Montreal slowly turn yellow, orange and red, inviting you to enjoy a moment in nature and a surprising change of scenery. These parks can be found both in the heart of downtown and in the suburbs and become havens of peace for picnicking, strolling, cycling or simply relaxing. From Cap St-Jacques in the West Island to the Île-de-la-Visitation nature park and the iconic Mount Royal, Montreal’s parks all offer something special to brighten up your fall! Be sure to stop off at a market to sample the season’s bounty.
