Lovely displays of food items. Wide variety of food and there’s a section to sit, rest and sample the food. There’s also a small sitting area outside and behind the market
We tried the doughnuts, bagels and cod fish and chips. So very fresh and yummy!
Lots of fruit stalls too with such tempting display of fruits.
A few interesting souvenir stalls are in the market.
Good place to stop for a food break when visiting Granville area.

A morning ritual it seems for Vancouver, a walk around the old industrial Granville Island which is now an amalgamation of Farmers market, social hub, kids entertainment, artisan’s gallery, butcher, baker, candle-stick maker (ok so I did not see any candles, but you get what I mean).

My family landed early Sunday morning after a long haul flight and went straight to the Island for coffee, a walk and some sunshine at the outdoor areas. We were blown away by the amount of fresh produce on offer and the size of some of the fruits, seriously, quite huge! Not all is from Canada, but for someone who does not have access to anything like this, it was incredible.

We also got a great breakfast to stave off jet-lag; quality coffee at JJ Bean and pain au Chocolat at Terra Breads. Then the kids had a run around at the Kids Market while we picked up canadian beanies for their vacation in the mountains and a couple t-shirts with totem pole designs from the clothing section.

My Wife set her heart on some hand made glass ware which captivated the boys as they watched a talented artist blow a vase of some sort right in front of them.

Everything is here, it’s a wonderful way to spend a half day.
