Granville Island Public Market is quite an exciting place to visit if you love food! There are countless stalls selling all types of food, from fish and meat to vegetables and lovely fruit, like berries and other exotic delights! There are many other shops as well selling all kinds of merchandise. Perfect place to have lunch! We caught the Aquabus from downtown and it only took a few dollars and a few minutes to get to Granville Island. Wonderful experience.

If you only have time to visit one place in Vancouver make it Granville Island. We took the ferry here from Yale Town and it was just the perfect day. Great food, great crafts, and a lovely setting. Try everything, then, if the weather suits, step outside on the terrace to eat your bounty and admire the views. But leave time - it was only as we left we realised there was so much more to this place than the food halls – there are so many other buildings with arts and crafts scattered around here, and we wished we’d spent the whole day here.

A must do while in Vancouver. It was easy to get the the island by Aquabus from Hornsby Street. We walked through the market first to get some soft drinks to carry with us, and see what was available. It was very busy at lunch time. Since it was a national holiday there were lots of local families. After walking around and visiting a few galleries we got some pastries at the market and ate outside. A quick water taxi ride back and we were on our way.

This was a great place to eat lunch during our Vancouver visit. There were so many options of food. The place was full of people but not as extremely crowded as other similar markets I've been to. And most importantly, it actually had some places to sit and eat (though you'd have to wait for a party to get up and leave). My family did a loop around, and then split up to go purchase our choices. There are also shops (many souvenir shops) around the market as well. We had to do a lap or two to find parking (paid parking in a garage) but again, it wasn't too bad. Clean restrooms located in a few of the different buildings. Go check it out if you're in the area!

Such a cool place. Highly recommend that you stop over when visiting Vancouver. the market has everything you can think of. If you are with a lot of people that have a lot of different tastes, this might be a great place to eat, since there is so much variety.

Granville Island Public Market is a Dynamic Mix of many choices. The day we visited, there were 3 seperate live bands. We also enjoy a meal on a Patio, which everyone enjoyed. It is not Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco but quite respectable for a Small City Market.

I could live in this market, it’s an amazing array of local foods and products! There are food options for everyone, so it’s definitely worth a visit! Keep an eye out for seating as it’s difficult to get a seat on the weekend and there will be people watching for you to leave your table on the busy days.

Visited: 05/06/2023. An amazing (and huge) market filled all kinds of food, and merchandise. The market stall holders are all really friendly and happy to talk to you about their products, the entire market was busy and had street performers dotted around as well. There is plenty to choose from, and lots of variety so you can pretty much find anything you want and need from this market. Really enjoyed our visit. We had lunch from Gormet Wok (beef in black bean sauce with rice, and a vegetarian noodle dish), both delicious. We also treated ourselves to dessert from Stuart's The Bakers (strawberry cheesecake and chocolate turtle). Would love to live locally to shop from here on the regular.

Granville Island on the whole is well worth a visit, however its gem has to be the market. The stalls are vibrant and full of fresh produce and the food stalls are a great place to dine and drink - there are so many its hard to chose one. We settled on A La Mode and its amazing pies. Various seating areas, some inside and some outside with waterfront views. Great value for money and would definately visit again if we ever come back to Vancouver.

An amazing place with a fabulous assortment of craft items and great quality foods to buy or eat onsite although the seagulls outside are a bit savage so better to sit inside. Highly recommended to pay a visit. All local businesses too.
