Located within one of Canada's most impressive fish markets, Monte's Lunch offers a one-of-a-kind seafood experience in the heart of Halifax's Richmond Yards. Located inside Fisherman's Market's newest flagship location, guests enjoy high quality Atlantic seafood served fast, without compromising quality. From iconic lobster rolls and seafood chowders to cold-water shellfish, fresh fish, and other local favourites, our menu celebrates the flavours and traditions of Atlantic Canada. It's a place where eating, shopping, and discovering exceptional seafood come together under one roof.

Monte's Lunch is named in honour of co-owner Monte Snow, a third-generation fishmonger whose career spans more than four decades in the seafood business. Beginning in his family's lobster operation as a child, Monte became a respected industry leader known for his deep seafood expertise, strong relationships, and lifelong passion for the people and communities that depend on the ocean.

That same passion is woven into the story of Fisherman's Market. Founded on the Halifax waterfront in 1948, the company has grown from a small neighbourhood fish market into one of Canada's leading seafood businesses. Built on generations of expertise, trusted relationships with harvesters, and an unwavering commitment to quality, Fisherman's Market continues to connect customers with some of the finest seafood the North Atlantic has to offer.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, stopping by for dinner, meeting friends, or exploring the market for the freshest seafood to bring home, we invite you to experience the very best of Atlantic Canada at Monte's Lunch and Fisherman's Market.
