It’s impossible to talk about Granville Island
without mentioning the food! The centre of our
gastronomic delight, and in fact, the centrepiece
of the Island’s shopping experience, is our Public
Market, where tourists and locals alike converge
for an unrivalled food-shopping experience
among a vast selection of fresh specialty foods.

Our Market Awaits

The Granville Island Public Market is Vancouver’s hub of epicurean delight. Browse the exotic array of crisp, garden-fresh produce which overflows each vendor’s stall—from luscious berries in season, to delicate Japanese eggplant. Look for displays of fresh Coho salmon and giant prawns on beds of ice. Breathe in the delicious scent of just-from-the-oven bagels mixing with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee and pungent cheeses from around the world. The Public Market provides the very best of fresh food for the expert chef, as well as those who love to eat! It is a great source of local produce, homemade products and unusual ingredients for exotic recipes. Wild fiddleheads, pine mushrooms, seaweed, stinging nettles—the list is endless.
