Overview
On the shores of False Creek, canopied by an urban bridge, Granville Island Market is a favorite amongst the city’s chefs and foodies. It’s a big part of the city’s soul. As the colorful market buzzes around you, step behind the scenes to experience a side that many never see — even the locals. Tuck into savory and sweet bites by renowned culinary artisans, and connect with their passion for food and heritage.
Meeting and Pickup
Meet outside the Granville Island Public Market building (near the corner of Duranleau Street and Johnston Street), across the road from A Bread Affair. Look for the Foodie Tour Guide in a red top.

Itinerary
1. Since 2001, Oyama Sausage Co. has been selling its artisanal pâtés, salamis, hams, prosciuttos, and sausages in the Public Market to the delight of locals and visitors alike. Over the years, Oyama’s talented team of sausage-makers have produced over 400 different products, many of which are made with exotic and free range meats.
2. Proud purveyor of Vancouver’s favourite Honey Dip and classic donut recipes since 1979.
3. JJ Bean is the place to be seen on the weekend for the coffee cognoscenti. The best service and the best espresso are all squeezed into a high-energy environment at the market. This is la dolce vita, the way life should be.
4. Sen Pad Thai offers unique and authentic Thai street food, focusing on Pad Thai and its regional variations. Sister restaurant of the acclaimed Maenam Thai Restaurant on 4th Ave by Chef Angus An.
5. Hobbs couldn’t find a good tasting pickle on the West Coast so he started a pickle company to always have his own supply of good tasting pickles. Get New York deli pickles in multiple flavours old school, packed right out of the pails like Lower East Side NY. Visit us at the pickle bar, our original location in Granville Island Market.
6. Weave your way through the Public Market with your expert tour guide for VIP access to Canada's finest food artisans. This progressive meal features a series of exclusive tastings, only accessible to tour guests.
7. At Benton Brothers Fine Cheese, we love cheese and it’s a passion we want to share. We specialize in small production cheeses from across Canada and around the world. Whether you’re already experienced or just getting started on your cheese adventure, we’ve got something for you.
8. We offer over 200 hundred varieties of tea. We sell tea leaves, or we can make you a custom cup to your liking. We can package your tea for home use or make it look special for gifts.
9. Downtown is Vancouver's primary business district, houses many arts, entertainment, and sports venues, and is close to several vibrant residential communities.
10. False Creek is a short narrow inlet in the heart of Vancouver, separating the Downtown and West End neighbourhoods from the rest of the city.
