Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie has one of Canada's most
prominent Italian communities, with Little Italy
concentrated along the convivial bends of
Saint-Lawrence Boulevard. Known for its fantastic bars
and authentic Italian fare, the domain includes the
Jean-Talon Market, the largest public market in North

blustery weather draws crowds indoors to meat and
cheese sellers, spices and truffles stalls, and for
regional delicacies such as rare Charlevoix lamb.
While the market dictates what's fresh for local
restaurateurs, visitors can please more than their
palates, taking in the Renaissance architecture and
frescos of Madonna della Difesa, the picturesque Rue
Saint-Rominique with its cheerful homes and splendid
gardens, or the ornamented thoroughfare of Plaza
Saint-Hubert.
