Marché de la Gare de Sherbrooke: a visitor’s guide

Marché de la Gare combines indoor specialty food shops with an outdoor market for local producers and processors. The indoor businesses operate year-round, while the outdoor stalls gather beneath two shelters in summer.

Inside, you’ll find Fromagerie de la gare, ILO – Resto terrasse, Boucherie du terroir and République démocratique du jambon. The range includes fine cheeses, organic meat, artisanal sausages and charcuterie, gelato, and a bistro-terrace.

The market sits beside Sherbrooke’s heritage railway station. Inaugurated in 1910, the station now houses commercial space, giving the market a setting connected to the city’s rail history.

The indoor food businesses are open throughout the year, while the outdoor public market follows a seasonal schedule. Indoor hours are Saturday through Wednesday, 9 h–18 h, and Thursday and Friday, 9 h–20 h.

In summer, the outdoor market runs on Saturdays from 9 h to 15 h. Seasonal Friday markets also take place, with hours that can vary across the spring and summer schedule.

The market’s official website publishes the current seasonal calendar; check the official site before you go, especially if you’re planning around a particular market day. For questions, the market lists 819 569-0909 as its phone number.

The outdoor market brings together about thirty producers and processors from the Estrie region. Its seasonal calendar tracks changing arrivals, including herbs, berries, corn, tomatoes, melons, apples, mushrooms and root vegetables.

Food and drink businesses in the producer directory include Bee Rock apiculteur, Vignoble Chemin de la Rivière, Les vergers Archambault, Ferme entre deux pays, Mets Vietnamiens Xuân and Barners Café. The directory also features makers and other vendors, among them Fleur-Agit, Vallières art-design, Créations Papylou et Mamylou, Zoo animation and Boutique Kappachik.

Because the selection follows the season and the vendor directory can change, treat the calendar as a guide to what may be arriving rather than a guarantee of a particular product on your visit.

The market is at 710, Place de la Gare, in central Sherbrooke, about 4.4 km from Lennoxville. Its location beside Lac des Nations also puts the market close to downtown.

For a broader look at the central area around the market, the Sherbrooke city centre guide covers a first visit to downtown.

Lac des Nations is right beside Marché de la Gare, so you can pair the market with time around the lake. Downtown Sherbrooke is also close by, making it easy to include central streets in the same outing.

If you are planning a separate visit to the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science, its visitor guide covers that attraction.

The market’s setting by the lake and the former railway station makes for a compact visit focused on food, local vendors and the surrounding public space.
