So, I've been coming here for many years and really enjoyed their homemade savoury baked goods and…read morethe selection of smoked ribs and chicken for easy dinners. Honestly, the woman who made those is amazing. However, I'm not sure, but I think there's been a recent change in ownership (August 2023??), so I cannot comment on whether the current fresh food offerings are the same calibre. But, they've reorganized the layout a bit, and they're definitely more focused on Eastern European offerings with lots of frozen, fresh and shelf stable options. I was very happy to see that they still have the same vacuum sealed smoked chicken and ribs, and they seem to have a wider assortment of frozen pierogies and pelmeni than typically available in grocery stores. Hopefully the woman with the magical savoury baked goods is still there to make her delectable items!

For a paesano visiting The Granville Market I was fortunate enough to find Zara's Deli today. First…read moreoff the Mediterranean mix of olives I purchased were F@@KING amazing. Fresh and crispy olives with an explosive robust taste. If you love olives you're gonna really enjoy these. Now I really wish I had known about this place cause I'd have dropped a " C note" easily on eats and treats. As I waited for my olives I watched a gentleman making fresh pasta that looked amazing. This just fascinated me since 99% of time pasta comes in boxes or plastic bags. For some reason I didn't even ask if they had some red sauce and boiled fresh pasta for me eat. Wahhhhh I'm bringing a cooler next time I'm here so I can fill up with a load of sausages , pasta & olives. I really hope that man at the border does not confiscate my treats. Defiantly stop by when your in Granville Market in the City of VAN!

Was kind of disappointed with the bolognese sauce that was supposed to have meat in it but there was not much meat to speak of so that's why 1 star less. My friend also said it was quite bland.

Prices are reasonable. The store is very clean and very busy. There is always a crowd there but they are very patient and give you time to select what you want without seeming pushy.

The choice is either sugar-dusted or glazed, either is good, but the glazed is sensational. Not too sweet, the sugar glaze crackles and crumbles in to your hand as you bite in to amazing texture. I usually run home with the bag of donuts, bring out the best real china plate, a silver knife and fork, and do sweet justice to this amazing round delight. The sausage selection is varied and fresh. They have schinkenspeck, an old favourite, just salty enough to warrant either a beer or a Riesling - always a nice lean cut with just enough fat to please a traditionalist. Very clean interior. Old-school deli vibe. Lots of street parking.

My Polish landlady loves to bake me cakes and leave them at the backdoor. I LOVE POLISH FOOD! Stopped into Polonus today while strolling along the hood. The lady serving me was very pleasant and had me sample some sausages before I decided on the Ham garlic ring and the Juniper ham ring. I also got a beer mug-shaped jar of mustard and some heavenly and huge meringues! They also had a ton of different kind of perogies in a freezer at the back of the store. Lots of cookies, candies and chocolates I have never seen before and can't wait to try on my next visit. The prices are great here! 400g of sausage, a jar of mustard, and 6 giant meringues came to $12.80!
