What a sweltering week it has been in Vancouver! And by “sweltering,” I mean that temperatures hit 30 degrees, it’s been gloriously sunny, and I am one of many who prayed for air conditioning to bless their home. It’s summer and the city couldn’t be happier. We are outside for every and any occasion, whether […]
In case you haven’t noticed, being active and eating healthy is a big thing to in Vancouver, especially in the summer. Even as a die-hard foodie, I will admit that I attempt to make healthier choices like running (to the ice cream shop), stretching (before eating), and healthy choices (see below) during the summer season. […]
If you’re a bit Food Network fan like me, you’ll understand the gravity behind the phrase “sometimes, simple is best.” On competitive shows like Top Chef, Masterchef, Food Network Star, and even Iron Chef, those who are able to produce simple dishes with flawless execution often find success. People can appreciate and identify with simple […]

I’ve always admired Granville Island for its balance of functionality and flare. Though the Granville Island Public Market is certainly a spectacle for tourists to experience, the local people of Vancouver are actually the “bread and butter” of the market business.

Although July 1 falls on a Tuesday this year, Vancouver hasn’t held back in the slightest for their to Canada Day celebrations. In additional to the annual parade and fireworks display, there are a whole flurry of patriotic events where you can proudly sport your red and white. Whether you’re looking to join the crowds […]
I’ve actually tasted the sake from Artisan Sake Maker before. On more than one occasion, in more than one Japanese izakaya bar. I even knew it came from Granville Island and, yah, I thought that was cool. But, their bottles of Osake sit unsuspectingly amongst many sakes behind the bar, so it’s hard to say […]
There’s something very refined about ordering a charcuterie platter at a restaurant. It’s largely satisfying to look upon a beautiful spread of cured meats and to taste each and every one with the sophistication they deserve. The best charcuterie platters are served with a selection of cheese and bread pairings, and sometimes, if you’re lucky, […]
The Public Market is a piece of art, shaped by many hands. – Scott Fraser, Marketing & Communications Officer, Granville Island This week marks the one-month anniversary of our partnership with Edible Canada and the launch of our Granville Island Market Tour. Upon “docking” at Granville Island, the VFT team was fully aware that the Granville […]
I’d love to have a bird’s-eye-view of Granville Island. Our signature red Vancouver Foodie Tour t-shirts would look like little dots leading clusters of people from Edible Canada to the Granville Island Public Market. From a bird’s-eye-view, the pedestrian traffic in and around the Granville Island Public Market would look similar to bees around a […]
