I think I should just live on Granville island. I mean, it's got everything a person could ever need -- fresh fruit and veggies, butchers and fish mongers, flower shops and bakeries, coffee and art supplies, books and clothes, a community centre,…More »

It's about time such a high quality bistro made its way into the market. Though Edible has been a mainstay on Granville for years, it was only a short time ago that I finally found myself enjoying its food. Could it be the new location? Probably. Or…More »

As if I need another excuse to spend even more cash while at Granville Island, but here we are, Liberty Wine Merchants. We meet again. I need me a wine to go with this stinky cheese and cured meat I just bought from Oyama, or these fresh oysters from…More »
