Restaurants, butchers and other vendors at the Jean Talon Market have been told to stop cooking food outdoors or they will risk a $200 fine. Apparently, the Rosemont—Petite-Patrie borough decided to issue a warning after it received several complaints about barbecue smoke from nearby residents. Here’s the full story from the CBC<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jean Talon Market shop owners warned against grilling food outdoors say they will continue their time-honoured summer practice, despite complaints about the smell.<\/p>\n

Several butcher shops at the popular Montreal market have received warning letters from the Rosemont-Petite-Patrie borough informing them the practice of cooking outdoors is illegal and subject to a $200 fine.<\/p>\n

The letters were issued this year after some residents in the market’s vicinity complained about wafts of roasting meat that float into surrounding streets.<\/p>\n

The borough said shops are allowed to cook food inside the market, but not on its outdoor sidewalks.<\/p>\n

Many butcher shops at the popular market set up grill stands during peak season for shoppers, and have been doing so for years, explained Mathieu Robert, a manager at his family store, William J. Walter Meat Shop.<\/p>\n

The warning was unexpected given how long the practice has gone on, he said. “I’ve been there for seven years now, and I’ve been visited by different [city] inspectors, and they never talked to me about that, never ever.”<\/p>\n

“The letter says that we’re all illegal right now, but the city didn’t inform us of anything,” Robert told CBC News. “We put up money to build up our businesses, terraces, [to cook] outside at Jean Talon Market. And we have this letter saying that no, you can’t do it anymore.<\/p>\n

“It’s kind of sad, actually.”<\/p>\n

Robert said his shop will pay a fine if it’s issued, but he’s not prepared to stop cooking outside.<\/p>\n

Other meat shop owners are circulating a petition protesting the borough’s crackdown.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This reminds of a few years ago, when some newly-arrived residents on the Plateau complained to the city about the smoke from the many Portuguese rotisseries along Rachel Street. I know that barbecue smoke can be annoying, and even hazardous to your health if you are exposed to it constantly, but meat has been grilled at the Jean Talon Market for years, and hundreds of thousands of Montrealers are constantly barbecuing during the summer. I think the benefit to Montreal’s cultural and commercial life far outweighs whatever nuisance it may pose a few sensitive people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
