Lonsdale Quay Market - North Vancouver

This place has a very good variety of food and shop, toys, books, kitchen stuff, shoes souvenirs and natural light.

I was staying at the Lonsdale Quay Hotel located above the market, and found the bus and seabus terminal on-site very handy. As well, there's plenty of boutique shops for gifts, snacks, and drinks. There's a take-out micro brewery and wine store, which is handy for hotel drinks. The market is overflowing with everything you want, and it's clean, airy and bright.

Very handy grocery store with lots of variety and located ideally right next to the Sea Bus terminal to downtown Vancouver. Friendly staff always carrying a smile :) I recommend this food store for any local or tourist staying and/or traveling through the area.

This was a great spot to shop for groceries. There is a farmers market every Saturday selling all local produce. Plenty of coffee shops and bakeries too with clothing stores up on the first floor.

It's no Granville Island, but then again neither is Granville Island anymore. As a local, I used to shop here several times per week. It was where I bought all of my fresh produce. Over time, the stalls decreased, and you start to realize you're just standing amongst a bunch of tourists.... Since it really declined over a decade ago, things have picked up. I still go back for specialty foods, but it's no longer my go-to place for fresh fruit and vegetables.
