Updated 2026/06/22: We originally visited Time Out Market Vancouver shortly after opening to document every vendor, menu, and price we could find. Since then, we’ve returned to actually eat our way through the market — testing the cheapest meal, the most expensive dish, and even the vendor with the longest line. This guide will continue to be updated as we try more dishes and discover new favourites.
Time Out Market Vancouver has quickly become one of the most talked-about dining destinations in the city.
Located inside the brand-new Oakridge Park development, the luxury food hall brings together some of Vancouver’s most recognizable restaurants, chefs, and food concepts under one roof. But with all the hype surrounding the market, the biggest question most people have is simple:
Is it actually worth visiting?
After two separate visits to Time Out Market Vancouver, we’ve explored the entire market, photographed vendor menus, analyzed the pricing, and returned to try some of the most talked-about items.
We specifically wanted to answer three questions:
What is the cheapest meal at Time Out Market?
What is the most expensive dish you can order?
Which vendor has the longest line, and is it worth waiting for?
We’ll get into all of that below, along with complete vendor information, menu photos, and our tips for visiting.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, Time Out Market isn’t a traditional food court.
Rather than filling the space with chain restaurants, Time Out partners with local restaurants, chefs, and food concepts that have already built strong reputations in their cities.
The result is a curated collection of restaurants all operating under one roof.
The Vancouver location is the latest addition to the global Time Out Market portfolio and is located inside the newly opened Oakridge Park development.
First Impressions: Come Early… But Prepare For A Line
When we first visited Time Out Market, we came on a Tuesday afternoon right around opening time, expecting the crowds to be manageable.
We were wrong.
Even shortly after the doors opened, there was already a lineup just to get into the market.
This was honestly one of the biggest surprises from our visit. It shows just how much curiosity there is around this new food hall.
If you’re hoping to avoid the biggest crowds, we would consider visiting later in the afternoon, around 3 or 4 PM, once the lunch rush begins to die down.
Another tip: do not come alone if you can avoid it.
The biggest challenge at Time Out Market isn’t necessarily ordering your food. It’s finding somewhere to sit afterwards.
Having one person secure a table while another waits in line makes the experience significantly less stressful.
Is Time Out Market Vancouver Expensive?
Going in, we expected the answer to be a clear yes.
After all, many of the vendors are established restaurants, and several concepts are backed by award-winning chefs.
Surprisingly, the answer isn’t quite that simple.
While there are definitely premium options throughout the market, there are also a handful of surprisingly affordable dishes hiding among the more upscale offerings. In fact, one of our goals during this visit was to document as many vendor menus as possible, so further down in this guide you’ll find menu photos from across the market and can judge the pricing for yourself.
The reality falls somewhere in between.
You can absolutely spend $40+ on a single dish here if you want to. At the same time, there are a few vendors offering meals that are much more approachable than we expected when we first walked through the doors.
We Tried The Cheapest, Most Expensive & Most Popular Foods At Time Out Market
On our second visit, we wanted to go beyond just walking around the market.
We returned with a mission: to try three completely different sides of Time Out Market.
The cheapest full meal we could find.
The most expensive individual dish on the menu.
And the vendor with the longest lineup.
Here’s what we thought.
Cheapest Meal: Feenie’s Cheeseburger ($13.99)
When we first walked through Time Out Market, one thing immediately caught our attention.
Feenie’s always had a lineup.
At first, we wondered whether it was because of the famous name behind the restaurant. But after seeing the menu prices, another possible explanation became obvious.
Their signature cheeseburger costs just $13.99, making it one of the most affordable complete meals available in the entire market.
Considering that many vendors easily climb into the $20–$30 range, this felt like one of the best values available.
After trying it ourselves, we understand why it has become such a popular choice.
The burger is simple, but that’s exactly the point. A juicy beef patty, melted cheese, and classic toppings that don’t try to overcomplicate things.
It’s a burger designed to be an everyday meal, and in a market where many dishes feel like a special occasion purchase, Feenie’s provides something much more approachable.
Most Expensive Individual Dish: Mee Bar’s Lobster Misou ($46)
At the opposite end of the spectrum was Mee Bar’s Lobster Misou.
While the $155 High Roller seafood tower at Barnacle technically takes the title for the most expensive item in the market, it is clearly designed as a sharing platter rather than a typical meal.
For someone walking in and ordering a single dish for themselves, the Lobster Misou is one of the biggest splurges available.
The dish features half a lobster served with glass noodles, egg, chives, and crispy garlic.
The presentation immediately feels more premium than your average food hall meal, and it showcases the luxury side of what Time Out Market is trying to offer.
If there was one vendor that consistently drew a crowd during our visits, it was Mello.
The line was long enough that we knew we had to see what all the hype was about.
We tried their Strawberry Brioche Donut, one of their signature offerings.
The first thing that stood out was the texture. The brioche dough was incredibly soft and fluffy, while the filling delivered a rich strawberry flavour that made it clear why so many people were willing to wait.
After trying both the cheapest and more premium side of the market, our biggest takeaway is this:
Time Out Market can be as expensive or as affordable as you make it.
If you’re willing to share dishes, grab a pastry, or look for the value options, a visit doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank.
But if you come expecting traditional mall food court pricing, you’ll probably be surprised.
This is a collection of some of Vancouver’s most famous food brands, and the prices generally reflect that.

Barnacle by Bar Bravo
One of the most seafood-focused concepts in the market, Barnacle comes from the team behind the popular Vancouver cocktail bar Bar Bravo. Expect oysters, shellfish, seafood towers, and shareable plates designed to pair with drinks. If you’re looking for one of the more premium experiences at Time Out Market, this is likely where you’ll find it.
Beaucoup Bakery Café
Founded by pastry chef Jackie Kai Ellis, Beaucoup Bakery has long been considered one of Vancouver’s premier bakeries. Their pastries, croissants, and baked goods have developed a loyal following over the years. This is likely to be a popular stop for coffee, breakfast, or an afternoon snack.
Beaucoup Creamery
A dessert-focused extension of the Beaucoup brand, featuring artisan ice cream and frozen treats. If you’re looking for something sweet after exploring the market, this is one of the easiest places to start.
Blnd Tger
Known for modern Asian-inspired comfort food and dumplings, Blnd Tger has built a reputation for bold flavours and creative takes on traditional dishes. Their menu combines familiar Asian influences with a more contemporary presentation.
Boba Run
Bubble tea has become a staple of Metro Vancouver’s food scene, and Boba Run brings that experience into Time Out Market. Expect fruit teas, milk teas, and specialty drinks that pair well with the market’s diverse food offerings.
DownLow
One of Vancouver’s most recognizable fried chicken brands. Originally launching as a pop-up before becoming a local favourite, DownLow is known for Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, fried chicken, and spice levels that range from approachable to seriously intense.
España
Inspired by Spanish tapas culture, España focuses on shareable small plates and traditional Spanish flavours. It’s a good option if you’re visiting with friends and want to sample multiple dishes rather than committing to a single entrée.
Feenie’s
Created by celebrity chef Rob Feenie, the first Canadian to win Iron Chef America. Feenie’s is focused on elevated comfort food, with the cheeseburger quickly becoming one of the most talked-about value options in the market. During our visit, this vendor consistently had one of the longest lines.
Heritage
The team behind Heritage Asian Eatery brings their modern take on Asian comfort food to Time Out Market. Their dishes often combine Chinese and Southeast Asian influences while remaining approachable for a wide audience.
Kishimoto
Based on the beloved Vancouver sushi restaurant Kishimoto Japanese Kitchen, this concept brings high-quality Japanese cuisine into the food hall setting. Sushi fans will likely recognize the name immediately.
Lunch Lady
Perhaps one of the most internationally recognized vendors in the market, Lunch Lady traces its roots to the famous Vietnamese street food vendor featured by Anthony Bourdain. The Vancouver restaurant has developed a strong reputation of its own, making this one of the more anticipated vendors in the lineup.
Mee Bar
Created by chef Angie Quaale and inspired by Cambodian cuisine, Mee Bar offers dishes that aren’t commonly found elsewhere in Vancouver. If you’re hoping to try something different, this is one of the more unique concepts in the market.
MaKaam
Led by chef Angus An of the Maenam restaurant group, MaKaam focuses on Thai flavours with a modern approach. The concept brings one of Vancouver’s most respected Thai culinary teams into the food hall environment.
Mello
Known for its incredibly popular brioche donuts, Mello has become a local dessert favourite. Expect creative flavours, seasonal specials, and some of the most photogenic sweets in the market.
Pasta e Basta by Ask For Luigi
A spin-off from Ask For Luigi, often regarded as one of Vancouver’s top Italian restaurants. Fresh pasta is the focus here, giving visitors a chance to try dishes inspired by one of the city’s most celebrated Italian kitchens.
Peacock
This concept comes from celebrated chef Vikram Vij, one of Vancouver’s most influential culinary figures. Expect Indian-inspired dishes showcasing the flavours and techniques that helped make Vij’s restaurants famous.
PiDGiN
A food hall version of the acclaimed PiDGiN restaurant. Known for blending Asian and French influences, PiDGiN has earned praise for its creativity and willingness to push beyond traditional cuisine categories.
Santo Taco
Focused on authentic Mexican street food, Santo Taco specializes in tacos and other Mexican favourites. It’s one of the more approachable options in the market and likely to appeal to visitors looking for a quick meal.
Via Tevere
Frequently mentioned in conversations about Vancouver’s best pizza, Via Tevere Pizzeria is known for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. Their Time Out Market location gives visitors a chance to try one of the city’s most respected pizza brands without travelling to the original restaurant.
One thing that makes Time Out Market different from a traditional food court is that many of these vendors already have established followings. Rather than introducing completely new brands, the market brings together some of Vancouver’s most recognizable restaurants, chefs, and food concepts under one roof. For visitors, that means you can sample dishes from multiple well-known restaurants in a single visit without travelling across the city.
Time Out Market Vancouver is easily one of the most ambitious food projects the city has seen in years.
The space is beautiful, the vendor lineup is impressive, and judging by the crowds, public interest is enormous.
The biggest surprise for us wasn’t the luxury seafood towers or celebrity chef-backed concepts.
It was discovering that tucked among all those premium offerings are a few dishes that look surprisingly approachable for everyday diners.
Whether those dishes actually deliver good value is something we’ll find out on our next visit.
For now, if you’re planning your first trip, our biggest piece of advice is simple:
Come hungry, bring a friend, and don’t expect to have the place to yourself. The rest of Vancouver certainly doesn’t.
