Specialty/Gourmet

La Baguette et L’Echalote

A fine selection of traditional French bread, sourdoughs and organic grain loaves. Situated on Granville Island, just outside the main food building and close to the dock, one can sit and enjoy the scenery with a chewy glutinous tear of bread and some fine cheese. Excellent pastries as well.

Sunrise Market

Sunrise market is always busy. Period. It is stocked full of Chinese and other Asian goods…everywhere. It is a defining slice of Chinatown culture , a place where produce fresh off a boat are stacked outside in crates and chefs shop for obscure and sometimes absurdly inexpensive goods.

Pane e Formaggio

Steph — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:47:43 -0700

A thriving bakery and Italian gourmet deli in the heart of the West 10th neighbourhood. Exceptionally friendly service and devoted staff can answer all your questions about the abundant selection of cheeses or put together a gratifying coffee and elegant pastry. Artisan breads make their Panini sandwiches popular at lunchtime.

Minerva’s Deli

All things Greek and Mediterranean to stock up your pantry and to nosh on. Great regional cheeses and olive oils.

Sometimes one of the best things about a neighbourhood is the accessibility of a great food store, albeit somewhat small. This is one of them, perhaps a community anchor. A healthy selection of organic product, bulk items from hard to find spices to diet specific baking products and European deli items.
