Granville Island's Public Market is Vancouver's most famous food market, for good reason. Home to over 100 vendors, this packed-to-the-rafters market offers the best, fresh seafood, produce, meats, sweets, and European specialty foods in the city.

Located on Granville Island, a small island on False Creek facing downtown Vancouver, the Public Market--along with the entire island--receives over 10 million visitors a year. Both the island and the market are popular tourist destinations, but they're equally loved--and patronized--by locals.

Whether you're a chef, an amateur chef or just an every-day food lover, the market is an oasis of epicurean delight--and a great place to eat lunch or pick up dinner.

Granville Island Market is open 7 days a week, from 9 am - 7 pm.
