Vancouver Grocery Store

[bobolink]

Our family will be in Vancouver for 3 nights pre-cruise. We've learned so much from this board and are very excited about our visit. We'll be staying at the Hyatt Regency and need to shop at a grocery store. Is there one within walking distance of our hotel? On previous trips to Vancouver we were not cruising and had a car.

 

Thanks,

I recall several 7-11s within a few blocks of the Hyatt.

store type? For food?

Wine?

If you need a full service grocery store - there is a market place IGA two blocks up Burrard st from the Hyatt - it's next to the Sutton place hotel and just before the YMCA.

 

If you need a more multi-purpose store there is a London Drugs two blocks up Robson from the Hotel

 

Royal Center mall below the hotel has some stores and a Staples and Pacific Center mall with a Sears and Bay and another 100 or so stores is two blocks east on Georgia from your hotel.

 

Hope this helps and enjoy tour visit to Vancouver

 

Cheers

Yes, I was looking for a full-service grocery. Sounds like an easy location. We've shopped in that London Drugs store. My kid is an extremely picky eater and it requires a trip to the grocery store to be sure she eats something nutritious during our three week vacation.

 

Thanks all. I know from previous posts that there is a great wine shop nearby.

 

We love Vancouver and are really looking forward to our stay there, brief as it is.

The IGA is your best bet-good choices and a Health food section with Bars etc..

A little bit further from your hotel, but still walkable, is the Safeway on Robson at Denman ( think it's Denman). There is also health food store on Robson, the name of which escapes me. DH & I stopped in there for breakfast and they have killer muffins. They had a full supermarket, just more organic and health-food type stuff, like Whole Foods in the US.

 

There is a BC liquor store on Albernie at Georgia, for your alcoholic beverage needs, if you have any. They have a very nice selection of wines from around the globe.

Yale town has a wonderful full grocery store. The best bakery and fair prices. I cannot remember the exact street but it is the greatest!

Urban Fare and is located at the east end of Davie St just below Pacific Blvd - more of an upscale grocery store.

 

Hope this helps
