Searching on Yelp while staying at Richmond area, I was excited to visit Richmond Public Market, a…read moreno-frills, old-school Asian market + food court, this public market does need some renovations, could tell that this is the original public market, the parking is available but keep in mind stalls are narrow. The washrooms are available ( thank goodness) but not in the greatest condition. There are 2 levels to Richmond's Public Market, The ground floor has the market of fresh produce, seafood, meats, herbs, gifts, electronics, flowers, set up like a Chinese outdoor market . Although I never get to check out the ground level during both visit since we were here early and not open yet. But my favorite is the 2nd level, this is where the foodies will reunite, the food court, So many Asian foodies selection, from Szechuan, Taiwanese, noodles, dumplings, boba tea, even Vietnamese too, there's too many to list. The reason I made a stop here twice was for Hei Hei rice rolls, which I am pretty sure If you know, you know. I grab from 2 other shops here. Tables were provided which I was able to enjoy our rice rolls and also got take out for later. * cash only, since credit cards are not accepted, we used the ATM to take out some cash/CAD but the fees were ridiculous, better to be prepared next time and exchange $$ upon arrival to Richmond, BC. Great nostalgic place (30+ years) to visit, don't judge by the looks of it. Now extended hours and open until 8:00 pm!

lonsdale quay market has a similar feel to granville island, but it's a bit more lowkey and local…read more both have food, small shops, and waterfront energy, but lonsdale quay feels less chaotic and more tied into everyday north shore life rather than being purely tourist driven. the location is the main draw. from the quay you get wide, open views across the harbour toward downtown vancouver, especially nice on clear days when the skyline reflects on the water. the waterfront setting keeps everything feeling open and easygoing, even when the area is busy. getting there is super straightforward. the seabus runs from waterfront station and takes about 12 minutes across the harbour, dropping you right beside the market. it runs often throughout the day, so the whole trip is smooth and low effort. it also keeps a steady flow of commuters, locals, and visitors coming through, which gives the quay a nice bit of energy without it ever feeling too hectic. around the market, there's more than just the food hall. nearby you've got the coast lonsdale quay hotel, plus a bunch of everyday spots like cafés, salons, wellness studios, and basics like cobs bread. it all blends into the wider shipyards area, so the whole place feels more like a connected waterfront district than a single building. inside, the food hall is still the main reason people come, with a solid mix of casual places to eat. on fridays and saturdays, live music usually adds a bit more life to the space and makes it feel more social. outside of that, there are a few small shops and studios, though the retail side is a bit uneven compared to the food.

We spent a half hour here looking through shops and checking things out. Bubble tea, liquor store, gelato, florist, tea, books, board games and a upcycle boutique. Neat stuff! I do need someone to work out the drainage issues at the east end of the market where the pedestrian bridge over the tracks lands. It's a lake up there and it looks like it's been a problem for a short while at least! [Review 20897 overall - 73 in British Columbia - 1881 of 2023.]

Plus a ton of other crappy stores that aren't even worth mentioning. This place was a dive in the 90's and it's dive now. NOTHING has changed, it's pretty much been frozen in time.

They had so many cute stalls, it was a great place to do some Christmas shopping as well. They also had soooo many food options!! it was amazing. The entry was free which makes it even better. Also the location, it's right on the lonsdale station which is very transit friendly! We went on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't too crowded but I've heard some people say it gets pretty busy on weekends. I would definitely go again next year!

We really enjoyed the day at The Shipyards, meandering through all the cute cabin booths, listening to live music, watching the juggler and even standing in lines! Our group enjoyed lunch at Seafood Provisions patio, getting mulled wine, candied walnuts, and then we stood in line, with a mulled wine for warmth and to make the wait a bit better, for a world famous whole haxen to go to enjoy at home after a fun day of Christmas joy with some beer made from honey next door, though the half orders looked delicious too from @haxen_haus. If you would like an easy going, friend, family and/or dog friendly free entry event where you can also ice skate for free if you bring your own skates and get into the holiday spirit, I really cannot recommend this Christmas Market more. Only wish I had more time to try more yummy food like the raclette and bratwurst!

The concept is fun because each vendor is set up in their own shipping container, with a couple of Instagram-able photo opps like a giant "Vancouver" sign and a Vancouver Heart sculpture you can step into. I read that they occasionally also have live music here too. When we arrived it was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday so naturally it wasn't as lively as I thought it would be. Still, it was nice strolling around and checking out all the different arts & crafts, souvenirs, clothing, jewelry, and other merchandise for sale in a fun outdoor atmosphere! This summer market is open Tue-Sun 10am-6pm from May 1st to September 28th. They also have a licensed patio serving up drinks Tue-Sun 11am-7pm.
