DINER: “Edible Canada” Launches With New Store And Sweet Bistro On Granville Island

Portrait

Granville Island just got a hell of a lot better with the new Edible Canada complex that opened its doors yesterday. In addition to the new retail store, the bistro really is something to behold. There are some 86 seats inside with another 102 on the expansive patio. We dig the take-out window, lengthy bar and open kitchen, as well as the demonstration kitchen in the glassed-in private room (complete with roll down garage door). Owner Eric Pateman has curated a seriously impressive assortment of local ingredients and home-grown booze for the menu (take a bow, mister). As per usual with this brand, if its made in BC and of a high quality, Eric is very probably pimping it. Take a look and have a proper drool…

    3. Outstanding Eric, the city is lucky to have your level of passion and drive, ever think of getting political and giving our entire city the same treatment?

    4. Went by today, had a great time and delicious lunch. Great job on the space, it’s beautiful modern and fits Granville Island. Joe said it right, you upped the game!

    6. Congratulations and Cheers to you, Eric, and to the super team you have amassed to bring Edible at the Market to Granville Island.

    7. We popped in on opening night for a few nibbles. The best fries evah (duck fat, natch) are available to go… very dangerous.

    Vancouver’s Best Japanese Curries, Our Favourites Mapped

    Japanese curry doesn’t chase the spotlight the way ramen or gyoza do, but it has always been one of Japan’s most reliable comfort meals: hot, filling, and easy on the wallet. With Vancouver’s cooler weather still lingering, it’s exactly the kind of satisfying bowl that hits the spot.
