Long lines generally indicate good things when it comes to food, and the lobster bisque on the menu was enough of an enticement for my wife to brave the queue and order a cup. She enjoyed it, but felt some component or flavor was missing; it was also a little thinner than she would have preferred. Being a certified soup savorer myself, I had to agree, based on the couple of spoonfuls I sampled. Good, not great, but I'd be willing to give them another fair shake, the next time we're on Granville Island. read more

Stopped by here earlier today around 2PM. We were out at Granville Island looking for some gift, and decided to stop here for some food. Menu was simple. Salmon Chowder was good (small $6.50). For a quick meal, you can't go wrong with salmon chowder. Light,simple soup on a cold or rainy day. It tasted good with Focaccia bread. I wish the soup was bit creamier it was rather watery. You can buy yourself some Truffle Butter, some packaged soup or even salad dressing as well. Not a good place to buy or exchange stocks (just keeding) LOL. They also have a vegetarian soup as well. read more

Good, but underwhelming given the line and hype. The bread is just a semi-stale afterthought. More significantly, one person who resembled a manager/owner type is very short on patience. Apparently, he's tired of explaining that the fish in the "Wild" Chowder is salmon. Maybe make it clear with signage rather taking it out on customers who keep you in business. The gal who was working Saturday, October 22 was very kind. The price is very fair given the portion and touristy venue. read more

Located inside Granville Market, the Stock Market is a soup specialist known for their fish chowder. They actually sell a large variety of soup stock including bone broth and demiglaze. I got a cup of their fish chowder for $6 and it was served piping hot, filled with chunks of salmon and plentiful vegetables. It's not too creamy, relying instead on the quality ingredients to give the broth both flavor and texture. Recommended. Stock Market accepts credit cards, including Amex. read more

Hearty soups and stews, perfect for cold, rainy days. Three featured soups per day are served for dining in, with more available in bulk or frozen for taking home. I love how you can purchase their gravies to make holiday dinners easier or a regular weeknight more special. The smoked salmon soup was thick and meaty, perfect for eating in the chill off the water. Cups (~$5) and bowls (~$8) are generously sized and fairly priced, served with a thick square of cold, plain focaccia. Wish the bread was warmed and served with butter to be better enjoyed, but it adequately serves the intended purpose of complementing the soup. Location is convenient to the small indoor dining area. Staff are polite and will give samples on request. They do one meat, one fish, and one vegetable soup per day. I'd use this spot more for taking home dinner than grabbing a meal on-site, personally. read more

I love good soup and this place definitely has some. The choices of the day were smoked salmon, split pea and hearty chicken noodle and they all looked good. We got the smoked salmon (apparently a must try) and split pea. It comes with a beautiful little slice of soft focaccia bread, which is a nice touch. The split pea was DELICIOUS. Usually with these pea soups they get really salty and mushy but this one was neither. The smoked salmon has a really smoky taste to it, with nice chunks of salmon. They must add a little liquid smoke to it to get the flavor, so be warned of you're not a fan of smoke. Remember to bring cash. Card minimum of $10 and it broke the day we went. Also nice selection of bagged soups that you can take home with you: ) Overall, really great soups, perfect for a rainy vancouver day! read more

Soup was a strange choice for a summer lunch but I'm glad we tried this place! They conveniently label dairy free or vegetarian friendly on their menu, and they have 2 sizes (small or large). They had 3 soups of the day, and we tried all of them. The wild salmon soup was hearty and flavourful with plenty of vegetables inside (celery, carrots, onion, etc). The vegetarian pea soup was great as well. Chicken soup was a standard classic. This place is really healthy! I also like how they offer fresh baked focaccia bread, included in their price. read more

Inside Granville Market near the AquaBus dock. I had the Smoked Salmon Chowder. The Chowder was a Potato Chowder with Dill, Celery, Carrots and hot smoked Salmon. The soup accompanied by a small Focaccia bread slice was filling and satisfying. Refreshing soup that's not too rich on a great day in Vancouver BC. 4 stars because the flavors could have been stronger and better definited. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

If you love your wholesome hearty soups, I suggest my go-to place for lunch on Granville island. I've worked on the island for two years and I can say after my fair share of lunch breaks, this is the one place you need to try. The reason I come here every day I work is because of their ever changing line of daily soups. I've never eaten two of the same soups in a row, and most of the time I am ordering a new soup I haven't tried before. A small soup (12 oz) with optional free herb bread fills me up as a petite girl. Both of which are made in house. I highly recommend this place because of that and their great service to customers. read more

Prepare yourself for a let down not only is this place oddly run the goods are under seasoned and poorly made. First I guess I should mention the Staff member who tried to convince me that the expiry date on the label was actually the price-not an auspicious start for someone who's avoided the place for years & years (and now remembers why). Anyway I decided to leave the soup and go for a jar of the pasta sauce of which they have such a variety-Romesco and for a decent price. Flavourwise though it was a miss-rancid tasting oil and no seasoning- whoever made this has No Clue None. So I guess that's it for this lifetime no more chances for this mediocrity. read more

One wouldn't usually crave a bowl of soup during the summer months, however I will gladly go out of my way for a piping hot spoonful of this stuff. And that's exactly what I did! The soups available today were Salmon Chowder, Broccoli Cheese and Barley Corn. I haven't had the honor of tasting all the soups, but I am head over heels for the Salmon Chowder. Every spoonful had enormous chunks of Atlantic Salmon, perfectly cooked celery, carrots, fistful of dill and not too many cubes of potato as filler. I like to eat at a different restaurant every time I visit Granville Island, but it's going to be hard to stray from Stock Market... read more

This little place is located inside the Public Market on Granville Island! They only serve soup. However I did not like that they only serve three soups a day. When we went they had: Minestrone, white bean and chorizo chili, and New York Clam Chowder. I really wanted to try the beef one. We ordered one white bean chili and one clam chowder. The white bean chili was too heavy. I imagined that the chorizo would be in chunks but no it was grounded up in the soup and There was a lot of it. It was way to stocky to be a soup ( and I get that it was suppose to be a chili but it was just too thick). The clam chowder was red not white which I was surprised by. My fiancé said it was okay in taste but that it did have a lot of clams. One thing I did fall in love with was the bread they give you to have with your soup. It was so fluffy and flavorful. The seasoning on the crust was delicious. read more

I visited some the famous dessert shops (Laudree, Dalloyau, Lady M, Café 103 at IFC and others)…read morewhen I went to Hong Kong. After I came back, I thought time to make my own dessert. I found J'Adore Les Macarons on Yelp that they offer macron class, let's do it! The instructor Connie is friendly and knowledgeable. My friend and I arrived 10 mins early before the class, the notes and some ingredients were prepared and placed on countertop. Yes, we made macarons at her kitchen. The first thing I learnt from Connie was how to pronounce Macaron. (Mac-a-ron). Macaron is referring to the French Macaron. If pronounce it macaroon, it is the coconut kind. We started with a cup of tea and tasted beautiful macarons during the class. Our group decided to make Lavender macarons with buttercream and chocolate ganache which made of 66% Valhrona dark chocolate. Connie taught us her secrets and techniques to make Parisian macarons. During the class, she vigilant in checking and measuring the ingredients. After 4 hours long class, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot. I took 18 macarons home and shared with my friend and hubby. I would recommend any macaron lover to take the class or buy the macarons from Connie

I heard about this from a friend who wanted to take a macaron baking class. My experience has been…read morelimited to eating these delightful treats. I am relatively new to them as just being introduced to them this year! Although I am a macaron noob, I've looked online and read recipes and know enough about them to truly appreciate the precision that goes into its creation. So I went to their website and signed up for a class on Victoria day. I went on my own as my friend was unavailable. Connie, the instructor emailed me promptly to let me know as soon as there are 4 people in the class, it will be good to go. The class is held at Connie's house which I liked as it was warm and comfortable and made me feel at ease. I'm just a self-taught baker making assorted cookies and cupcakes at home and have never taken a class before so I didn't know what to really expect. The intimate setting of having 4 students was awesome. She had tea for us to drink, fun aprons to wear and 2 sample macarons to taste as we learned the secrets of baking macarons. It's great for people who have tried making macarons and need to tweak something to make consistent perfect macarons. You can tell Connie is just obsessed with macarons. I love it! She has done the work, spent time learning the skill and art of them and loves sharing that information through her classes. I think she said she has been making macarons weekly for the past year and a half! That's a LOT of macarons. If you love macarons and love to bake, Connie's class is a MUST. I had so much fun, and she is so pleasant. She even welcomes emails if you have a macaron crisis at home and have questions in the future. The price is fair. $100 for instruction PLUS you get to take 20 macarons home! It was definitely worth it. The whole experience makes me dreamy for Paris and macarons. Thank-you again Connie for generously sharing your expertise!

Tried the very trendy fruit shaped desserts and I would say- well executed. The white chocolate had a good crunch, the filling was very tart, the jelly/panna inside was smooth and creamy.

This was quite the find and I'm still sort of processing it all. It's a hot sauce specialty shop,…read morebar, lounge and restaurant, but they don't have a proper kitchen. We found this as our initial destination had an absurd wait, and we left satisfied and pleasantly surprised. I saw pics online of what appeared to be large, juicy, and crispy fried chicken sandwiches sporting local hot sauces as the secret ingredients, and that's what brought us in. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with the Hot Duck chili crisp on it. Upon the bartenders rec we opted for the extra hot, which was a good call because it didn't really pack a punch to us chili heads, but had great flavor. The chicken was juicy and crispy, and the brioche bun was so soft and fluffy. All around a good sandwich, but we found it strange that they only offered it with chips, and no upgrade to fries, which were available as an add on order. As we ate our sandwich and waffle fries we realized there was no smell of oil in the air or sounds of a fryer, which had us scratching our heads. We looked for a hood too and noticed none. Eventually we realized that everything here is commercially air fried, which was both fun to learn and somewhat surprising. If this place had a fryer, it would be SO much better, but considering this limitation, it was solid. The sauce selection was huge too. I loved that you could taste them all and that they offered some amazing deals too. We found a few that warranted us checking a bag on the way back so we could enjoy them on the other side of the border, and I'm stoked they offer online ordering and shipping so we can get some more when they run out. All in all a solid experience. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. As a hot sauce store, this is a 5 star experience, as a restaurant, also good but just have the right expectations.

I came in to check for a sauce my friend asked for but stayed for a bite! Did I mention that this place is cheap AF!? I don't know how they do it but it's incredibly affordable and the quality of food is impressive! I got their Veggies on Fire (Cheddar, lettuce, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, pickles, red onion, banana peppers, Dijon, spicy mayo - Hot Sauce: Dawson's Shawarma). This was $8. Plus I added waffle fries, which I don't even care for. But these were heavily seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches come with chips but you can't miss the fries. You can choose which breads you want and I choose sourdough. Highly recommend that you toast that bread. The sandwich was huge and staked with so many veggies. The hot sauce was very mild but paired so well. The service was phenomenal! Above and beyond and so friendly. The place gets quite busy, understandable, and they are still so patient and friendly. I can't wait to try their extensive menu and order their veggie friendly menu options! And, obvy, their 1000 hot sauces!
