Amazing vegetarian restaurant, that is sure to please all meat eaters too. Fairly small and get there early as theres usually a wait. Not very cheap, but always well worth it.

Tasty and healthy vegetarian restaurant. A favourite for brunch but also do decent dinners and have a good drink list. Can be pricy but the portions are quite big. They also have a Juice shop just around the corner on Granville.

(Location on the map is wrong, it's on Granville Island as you'd expect)
Legendary market where you can get amazing fresh produce, meats and any other groceries. Also, the best donuts in Vancouver at Lee's.
As a note about Granville Island: I wouldn't recommend eating at any of the restaurants on the island with maybe the exception of Edible Canada as most are overpriced and very average food at best. Don't waste your time!

Probably the best fish & chips in Vancouver, served out of a shack in the marina. Usually locally caught fish, from straight off of the wharf. There's often a line though so be prepared to wait.

Arguably the best restaurant in Vancouver. The menu is constantly changing with different fresh local ingredients prepared perfectly for a delicious rich and flavourful meal every time. As with all highly regarded, independent restaurants, it doesn't come cheap.

Fresh local ingredients for contemporary spins on familiar Pacific Northwest meals. Portions aren't the biggest and so the bill can rack up pretty quickly.
