 Fresh Vegetables by jamiesno The centrepiece of the Island shopping experience, the Public Market is an irresistible emporium of green grocers, butchers, bakers, fishmongers, importers, ethnic food sellers, craft vendors, sweet stands, florists and casual eateries. It also features a wine shop and a micro-roaster of organic coffee. Everything in the Public Market is on display, from bakery backrooms to a mini fudge-making factory. Fifty permanent vendors and a constantly changing array of farmers, artisans and cottage industry food producers are open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. I remember the fresh fruit, berries and meat very well. Great for barbeque season I am sure. Leave a Comment

 Lori & Hans-Granville Island by LoriPori The highlight of GRANVILLE ISLAND is the Granville Island Public Market. Inside you will find an array of fresh fruits and vegetables, bakeries, seafood, etc. Outdoor patios and walkways offer plenty of places to sit and enjoy the scenery.
On Granville Island there is an array of marine supply shops serving the boats moored at the marina. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Granville Island

 Granville Market by tvor Granville Island which isn't really an island but a little piece of land stuck out in an inlet off of English Bay called False Creek. It's south west of downtown and north of the rest of Vancouver proper. It's got a big public market, fruit and veg, which is ringed by fast food kiosks and a seating area. Most of the "island" is craft and designers studios and stores where you can buy the wares. Also there are a number of marine oriented businesses, from rentals to equipment for boating and other sports like scuba gear. False Creek is also a marina and there were so many boats docked that it looked choked and I don't know how any of them can actually maneuver out to have a sail!!! There are buildings containing assortments of shops and studios, one of which is entirely devoted to children. There are a couple of community theatres, restaurants and cafes and, oddly enough, a cement plant which is what was there before they redid it over to a tourist mecca.
Some of the shops I looked into were one that consisted solely of postcards, one that focused on paper products like bookbinding, origami supplies, stationary and gift cards. There were bookshops, and souvenir shops and little squares where buskers were scheduled.

This small seafood store in Grandville Island has some of the freshest seafood around. Take a peak. They will even cook the crabs or lobster for you in the big metal cans shown on the pictures.

We all know that American aficionados pick up Cuban cigars when they come to Canada. But the other thing American aficionados can't get at home are fresh, unpasteurized cheeses. The rule is specifically that you cannot sell unpasteurized cheese less than 60 days old in the US. But you can in Canada, and you don't have to go to Montreal to get it. On the west coast, Les Amis de Fromage has such products, along with a vast array of other great cheeses, both local and global. They appear to be the only supplier of Neal's Yard cheeses in Vancouver, which if you know your English farmhouse cheeses is a very good thing. Of course, all the smelly French stuff is there, plus a good array of pecorinos and Spanish goat & sheep products. They also have a kitchen that does prepared meals, plus a few other products for the foodie market (like 2 types of smoked paprika, one of the world's greatest spices)
Cheese. If you're American, especially the fresh unpasteurized stuff.
About the same as other cheese shops of the same calibre. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: 1752 West 2nd AvePhone: 604.732.4219Directions: 1/4 block east of Burrard or alternately a five minute walk west along 2nd Ave from Granville IslandWebsite: www.buycheese.com

 Granville Island (Vancouver, B.C., Canada) by Redang The website, says: "You'll find handcrafted shoes, tailor-made eyeglasses, and custom-built kayaks; wooden musical instruments, high-craft blown glass, ceramic and woodwork treasures; gardening gear, dragon things, leather crafts, fishing reels, and one-of-a-kind toys: just a small spattering of what's in store for Island shoppers", and I addgroceries.

 Fresh Seafood For Sale by rmdw If you're looking for seafood there a number of great places scattered throughout Granville Island. But you might want to try walking off of the island, turning right and strolling over to the government docks. I don't know the hours but they seem to be open during most daylight hours. They offer various kinds of fish and shellfish.
If you do ever buy from one of the boats docked here please drop me a line about the prices they offer. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

 The Lobster Man by rmdw I've never seen such a wide assortment of fresh oysters, lobsters, and crabs as at the Lobster Man. They have a fairly large facility and are so able to equip it with large water tanks from which you can pick out the precise items yourself. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: 1807 Mast Tower Road Granville IslandPhone: 604-687-4531Directions: From the main market, walk SW past Blackberry Books and then another block or so. Turn to your right and you'll see the store about half way down, on the right.Website: http://www.lobsterman.com Other Contact: info@lobsterman.com
