Fixing our Hunger Pangs @ Granville Island 🏝️
I had a tasty experience exploring Granville Island in Vancouver. Getting to the island using public transport (bus) wasn’t the easiest but we opted for it anyway as it was more economical than parking on Granville Island.
We had our lunch at the Public Market, where we found a table on the sundeck overlooking False Creek and Granville Bridge. We ordered a clam chowder to share and it was a creamy delight, literally a taste of the ocean! The cod fish and chips from Celine’s Fish and Chips were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. For dessert, we had Lee’s Donuts, which had a long but quick moving queue, and a box of Nanaimo Bar, which we were told were a Canadian favourite!

To me, Hong Kong is a melting pot of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to ride the Peak Tram, spend a day in Ocean Park, chill on the beaches of Shek O and...so much more!

Granville Island is a romantic place for relaxation and leisure. The film "Seeking Mr. Right" was filmed here. On this island, you can experience the lifestyle of the local people. There are several galleries, artist studios, cultural and creative shops, and public markets here. In short, it's very lively.

Vancouver: The literary island - Granville Island
Granville Island is the last place we visited Vancouver today. If you first arrive in Vancouver, this is the place that locals will recommend you. .
Granville Island is located on the edge of downtown Vancouver, formerly an industrial peninsula that now attracts more than 12.2 million visitors every year. Now everyone can still see its full industrial atmosphere. Some abandoned railway and factory-renovated art district reminds me of Miami's graffiti art district, decadent and fashionable.
Like all ports, there are groups of pigeons taking a leisurely walk and people are enjoying the port. How can there be less street performers in such a romantic place, and the afterglow of the sunset at 5 o'clock in the afternoon is reflected in the old man's face, the music is slowly flowing, and the singing is melted.
Public Market must go there, selling fresh fruit, cheese, cakes, chocolate, seafood and more. Of course, the price will not be too cheap, everyone asks the price and then buy it.
There is also the Granville Island Brewery built in 1984. You can taste beer and learn about the brewing process. It recommends Canada's unique maple syrup and honey-brewed beer, which is smooth and rich.
You can also go to Lees Donuts, Liberty Distillery, and the Granville Island Broom Company.

The enthusiasm of the fruit market, the aroma of toast, and the Canadian's favorite classic, Begal, come in countless forms Raiders. Location - Public Market, Granville Island, Vancouver, Canada.

Beautiful experience for FREE
It was such an amazing trip to go to grandville island in Vancouver using just public transport! It was very convenient travelling there and such an amazing experience, almost like a theme park!
A lot of cute little shops, though a bit overpriced. Restaurants with fresh fish available, so that was refreshing! There are a lot of lights around Christmas time I think, so definitely recommend going if you’re in the area!
Usually street singers too which enhance the whole e experience.

What a beautiful day at Granville island in Vancouver

Granville Island is a must visit if you are visiting Vancouver. It is easily accessible by public transportation. Google map will get you here.
There are many boutique shops you can browse about. Most of their cashiers are very friendly and will chat you up.
There is a market area where you can buy fresh vegetables and fruits. We came a little late and didn’t have time to go to the produce area as we stopped by the food court first to fill our stomachs. The market closes at 6:00pm.
There are many restaurants around. Some were opening live music. There is a theatre for live comedy show. We booked our tickets to go for another time… stay tuned for my review for the Sports Comedy Theatre. #britishcolumbia #grandvilleisland
