Reviews of The Village Market (Butcher Shop)

Keith Folse

Friendly service. They had everything we wanted, including the flame logs to stay a good fire tonight.

Alex Monterrubio

Beautiful place for coffee, chat and breakfast

Mark Ashworth

Nice supermarket

Mana

Friendly little grocery store in Lake Louise

Clémont Li

Convenience location close by Lake Louise with Souvenir shops and two gas stations.

Adel Tabibz

A bit pricey. Good customer service. Limited variety.

Brian Nadon

Selection sucks! Everything in this place is double the price. It’s straight up robbery. I feel sorry for the locals who live here. My suggestion versus buying anything at this place, STARVE!!!

Gaylord Dusautoir

(Translated) Little choice, very high price and difficult to navigate in the aisles (Original) Peu de choix, tarif très élevé et difficile de circuler dans les allées

Horia Vlad Guzu

I ask: how much is the ice? The clerk says: "2.99". I asked: "2.99?" just to make sure. He replies: "Yes, 2.99". He throws the bag of ice on the counter (almost to break it). I pay, and look at my bill. Guess what? The ice was 3.99. If they are not able to display the prices clearly, they should at least articulate properly when they speak. This store is the worst part of Lake Louise. Better do your groceries before coming here since they don't even offer a great variety of products.

Dan Schykulski

There are a few nice shops here and a few places to eat as well. It can be insanely busy here on the summer and the food here is really over priced

Rubiks Craft

Very small stock and too expensive, expect to be paying 3x as much as usual.

celina mao

the smell!!!! you walk in and are hit with a disturbing smell of rotting veggies/fruit/rodents(?), then a quick glance at chips and candy selling for $8 is enough to drive anyone straight out the door

max logan

There is a decent amount of food/stock and the workers are happy and helpful. The the prices are staggering. Its nice for small items such as milk, eggs bread. But I recommend visiting Canmore for a big shop.

M Maier

Okay. You get what you need but you pay for the location because there is nothing else around. Even the sandwiches from the bakery next by are 50cent cheaper than in the supermarket. If you come from Calgary get everything in advance.

Maple Sota

Great Options hear as a tourist. Great Souvenir Shops and Candy Store.

Ricardo Brav

Cool place ????????????

Ghyslain Gagnon

Nastingly expensive. At least 2x the price of food anywhere else. Buy your grocery in Banff before getting to Lake Louise.

Miya Chen

really pricey and some of the commodities are not even marked with the price. We drove 60+ miles all the way to Banff to do the grocery shopping the other day to avoid buying things here. The staffs are really nice though.

Sébastien Martin

I went here the Aug/19, not even a hello, not even a goodbye or an eyesight, just rudes colleagues talking to themselves.

Tj And Jess Valley

Awesome

Flurin Pfister

Small Market with very expensive food. When we visited, the shop was very crowded and a lot of shelfs empty. I would not have bought anything there if there was an alternative. The selection of food isn't great.

Matt Burch

the costco of lake louise!

KawasakiBrad

Pretty cool little tourist stop.

Charles Oshea

Dale & Drew are awesome!

Adetoyese Oyedun

The only grocery store in Lake Louise, the store is not big so no section for bakery or deli and meat but they have varieties of vegetables.... The price is majorly tourist price which I kind of understand considering the remoteness of this place.... The staffs are friendly and helps with finding products in the store.....

Maura Lane

This place is a rip off!

Jesse McLean

Small selection. Priced for convenience. Better off going down to Canmore if you have a car.

Michael Lawler

Only place around... Not too much fresh food selection. Also, not much junk food to choose from either...just a lot of the same. Still, important to have around, good for some things.

Georgie Dreaves-Foord

The range of fresh produce here was not good; we had to wait 2 days for a milk delivery and 1lb of vacuum packed chicken was $15. The less fresh stock was slightly less expensive however it was not the most appealing.

cul du

Great

Jack Kemp

Closed an hour early for no apparent reason

Ted Bryan

Nice experience

Andrea Paganini

a lot of fruit is available; good prices

Axel Queffeulou

Most expensive grocery store in Canada! And because of that we decided to only buy the bare minimum

Diana Benavente

(Translated) You find what is necessary for quick provisions. The prices are moderate, not cheap. (Original) Encuentras lo necesario para provisiones rápidas. Los precios son moderados más no baratos.

Jonathon Lintott

Has the necessities but is very overpriced as it is the only place for groceries in town. Come prepared and only use this place for top ups.

Peter Fuzessery

We have been to this plaza before but i dont think we visited this local grocery. More of a half convenience store but with fresh foods, sandwiches and treats. Lots of convenience selections and some unique items at the cash like maple candies and ice wine chocolates etc. Today our purchase was a few small bottles of pop and some snacks for the road.

Ma K

(Translated) I think it is a reasonable price in Banff National Park. Since it was a rental car, I bought 1 kilo of cherry and 1 dozen water and went around the park. (Original) バンフ国立公園の中にあって、良心的な価格だと思います。レンタカーだったのでサクランボ１キロと水を１ダース買い込んで、公園巡りをしました。

Rita L

quick stop!

Dipan Das

It's like an oasis after a long travel. Been there numerous times after a long drive and it has always been a pleasurable break. Lots of food options starting from full meal to a quick bite. The location is fantastic. The mountain stream flowing behind it adds to the beauty of the whole thing. Even if you just sit beside the stream you can unwind from your daily life.

Blampin

You've got to be kidding me. Everything is so overpriced it should be illegal!! Lake Louise needs another grocer. These owners are ripping people off charging 2x to 4x the cost on every item. $3.99 for a box of Kraft Dinner. $3.78 for Peace Tea that cost 0.98 at Walmart. Pack groceries before you visit . Don't give them a cent. Theyre Criminals!

Alexander

Cute little supermarket with everything you need to survive "in the wilderness" ;-)

Amra T

Small store but has all basics and some superfoods as well. I love the home made banana bread and the (self made?) maple granola. Delicious! :)

jean-philippe Pietras

(Translated) All the items are really super expensive but it helps out! (Original) Tous les articles sont vraiment super chers mais ça dépanne bien !

MR. Biscuit

The village market is a little grocery store in lake Louise. it has a choice of things but not a big choice and the prices are about three times the amount of any place. They don't have a lot to choose from. It's the only little store in the area for groceries and things like that. It isn't a tourist town so you pay a lot more for the things. if you're going to need a lot of things you should stock up before you get to lake Louise because they don't have a lot of choice and the prices are be there like I say three times higher.

Kwin Marion

Good service if u can survive the price tags shock effect

Roy Mathew

Good stop on the way to Lake Louise

Maitri Ganguly

Great collection of books and acceptable price tag on every item.

王纪明

(Translated) The only larger store that enters Lake Louise Scenic Area (Original) 进入路易斯湖景区的唯一的较大商店

Doug Wilkinson

Expensive beyond belief. But nice if you have an absolute emergency.

Edson Nordi

(Translated) Mixed of thrift store with great prices. (Original) Misto de brechó com ótimos preços.

John Spenceley

A lot of the stores did not survive the pandemic but its still a good place to pick up snacks and souvenirs.

Fab Delare

(Translated) They take good advantage of their "monopoly" situation: little choice and very expensive. Double the price (or more) compared to Jasper, where prices are already high. You can drive to Banff where you will find stores with more choices and fair prices. (Original) Ils profitent bien de leur situation de "monopole" : peu de choix et très cher. Le double du prix (voire plus) comparé à Jasper, où les prix sont déjà élevés. Vous pouvez faire la route jusqu'à Banff où vous trouverez des magasins avec plus de choix et des tarifs corrects.

Randy Edwards

They need a bigger store for how ridiculously busy it is in that town

Johann Mauboussin

(Translated) It is the only supermarket in the city the prices are excessive you have to plan your shopping before otherwise you empty the wallet for a sandwich at 9 dollars and a salad at 6 dollars (Original) C'est le seul supermarché de la ville les prix sont excessifs il faut prévoir ses courses avant sinon on vide le portefeuille pour un sandwich à 9 dollars et une salade à 6 dollars

Albert Mas

(Translated) bye (Original) Tot be

James B. Rowe

Very nice

Alec

Great spot to stop on your journeys! More selection and better prices than the gas stations. Super nice atmosphere and quick service. Prices are what you’d expect for the park but it’s always worth the stop!

Louis Senden

Horribly expensive but it's the only market here... Can find basic groceries. Buy most of your stocks in Calgary, Banff or Jasper.

Scott Newbigging

Very friendly!

Namie Richards

Prices are double but then again it's a tourist area.

Jason

Total price gouging operation... $3.50 for a pack of gum? Are you kidding me?

Ajax Wylde

I was camping in Yoho and was on my way up to waterfowl lakes near Saskatchewan crossing. I stopped at this “store” on my way for the sole purpose of buying Olive oil to cook with as I had ran out of my supply I brought. It was a Thursday, I had arrived at the store just before noon and the store was closed! The sign on the door said “…closed to allow for social distancing while we restock our shelves…” What does that even mean?!? Why are you closed in the middle of the shopping day in the middle of the summer?! What grocery store closes in the middle of the day to restock?! Restock before you open or near closing… I was livid as I needed a single item I could only get there and now had to drive and extra 2 hours out of my way to Banff and then back up North and almost didn’t get a campsite as I arrived at the campground 3.5 hours after I had planned to… was not impressed. DO BETTER!! SMH.

Victor Renan Leitao

Great little grocery shop, but $7 a loaf of bread!?!? I get it, it is a premium location, but that was way too much. Still, fruits were fresh and good quality!

MarcoinTheMountains Michayluk

Goood coffee and such

Matteo Fabris

Avoid shopping here unless it's a real need or emergency... 5$ for a chocolate snack is not fair.

jorge nieves

Prices from other world. Really use it just in case of emergency

文權許

Beautiful

Christian Frei (VisibleFreedom)

Expensive but the only possibility to get groceries nearby. At least they got everything you need, even drugstore products. ????

Sean Ewart

It's got all the basics and a little beyond that. Can't ask for much more than that out here and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Amanda Toth

The only market in town so they can charge whatever they like sadly but its not the worst. For locals there is a 10% discount just tell them at the register. They have a couple phamacy items if you are in need. Some snacks and some fruits and veggies and bread etc. The staff is very nice also.

Nurmyrat Hapyzov

Little pricy

zaigham Ali

Really nice little market for fun

Vaughn Bender

A busy place but this grocery store has everything and well stocked and is clean too.

Mona Shehzad

Great store. I loved the place.

Sunny chan

The body lotion here seems to be 10% to 20% overpriced than highway convenient store. But u can all most essential food, except liquior, here

Kamal Khan

Quick convenience and daily groceries available..

Bruce L

expensive

Sebastian Kluth

This must be the most expensive supermarket I have ever set foot in. A one liter bottle of Coke Zero and two chocolate bars cost more than sixteen dollars. However, the cashier was really helpful and friendly and you get everything you need in here.

Fox

Has what you need at very high prices.

BC Food Adventures

The only groceries store in Lake Louise. It's pretty tiny, so no in store bakery, deli or meat section. It has a small bulk food, fruit and vegetable section. Along with the typical dry goods and freezer section. There's a high number of on camera signage, so maybe there's a lot of tourist stealing. If you enjoy my reviews, please check out my YouTube food channel!

Rajiv Jain

Quite a quaint little village market.

Mikey D

Very friendly place to grab supplies for a hike or snacks for the campsite! Also they have the coldest ice I have ever tasted, brrrrrr.

George Palmer

Very expensive, small store, but they do a good job considering the lack of space

David A. Adcock

Small, well stocked store.

Sonia Dutta

You can get Handy essentials there.

Lee A. S. Britton

Awesome

Josh Bilyk

Lots of great local shops. And counter to popular beliefs, the prices are quite competitive

Paula Rozenlauka

They are open every day till 9:30pm and have all what u need

Riz

Has almost everything you need, however pricing is a little bit more expensive. Thank you for your reply :)

Roger Wang

(Translated) More types of items (Original) 物品種類多

Gabi Rita Dupont

(Translated) Great market, everything available, very impressive ????????????! (Original) Toller Market, alles vorhanden, sehr beeindruckend ????????????!

Vernon Wiberg

Great!

秋田晴通

(Translated) In front of Lake Louise, it's a space like a roadside station in Japan. There are supermarkets and souvenir shops, so you can get what you need. I think it is fun to adjust food here and eat while watching the lake. (Original) ルイーズ湖の手前にある、日本で言うところの道の駅のようなスペースです。スーパーもお土産物屋もあって、必要なものは手に入ります。ここで食料を調整して湖を眺めながらの食事も楽しいと思います。

Simon Ohayon

(Translated) Everything is horribly expensive, the sandwiches are $ 8. Do your shopping in Jasper or Banff before you come. I hope that this place will be closed, it will perhaps teach its manager not to take his customers for cash cows and to abuse his monopoly on the city. (Original) Tout y est horriblement cher, les sandwichs sont à 8$. Faites vos courses à Jasper ou Banff avant de venir. J'espère que ce lieu mettra la clé sous la porte, ça apprendra peut-être à son gérant à ne pas prendre ses clients pour des vaches à lait et à abuser de son monopole sur la ville.

sahar kmeyha

Toooooo expensive!! Bought a bag of ships and a boutle of water for 10$!! Definetly don’t recommand it for snacks!

Christopher Fetros

They sell these great donuts that I could eat for months. Wish they sold them back in the States.

Robin Cook

Good shopping site

Laura Nys

Relatively good allround offer, don't expect much choice within each category. Thoroughly expensive though, def not for stockpiling :-)

Jed340 Dayrit

It's expensive here but that's expected.

Clio Lin

A normal market

Nami

Quaint, cozy.

Monia Omari

(Translated) I confirm it is horribly expensive and there is really no choice. (Original) Je confirme c'est horriblement cher et il n'y a vraiment pas de choix.

Mainul Bashar

Nice place to stop by, price is high though!

Leslie Pringle wrrldgrrl

Convenient place to get some groceries and ready food. There's even a couple of gluten-free options. It's pricy, but it does cost money to have a store that's not near a major centre. It's really clean and organized, and the service is friendly.:-)

Satpal Singh

Medium

Isabella Di Tursi

pricey but understandable. great little market!!

Clem Walisser

This small store, situated in the main village, has a very wide selection of items you'd expect in a larger grocery store. Friendly, helpful staff. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for.

Jon Marchievans

Good placee to get some grocerys

Jen fer

Love this place! It's crammed full of stuff you'll need for whatever you plan on doing during the day. Prices are elevated but it's to be expected. What matters is the selection and the local vibe it gives off. Plenty of things to choose from with very nice staff.

Bryan Synn

Most things expensive but expectedly so

Brendon Diianni

Pricy pricy

robert bastarache

Total rip off /monopoly in our town.The PetroCan has way better prices and snacks. Extremely disapointing. Do not even follow Canadian scanning code of ethics. Fair enough I was warned 20 years ago but no! Get your groceries in Banff or Calgary

Henrik Thystrup

Nice small shops with a variety of different items. It is very crowded due to all the tourists butvitvis nice and you can get what you are after

jafar faraj

Nice, enough for a village ????

Pablo de la Torre

Prices are on the higher side but, after all, it is the only large grocery store in the area. The food selection is large enough for most consumers and the service is polite. They do not accept AMEX cards

Jurriën K

Didn't buy much, seemed to have all you need though But prices aren't much more expensive than in Banff (where prices are already more expensive compared to Canmore 20 mins east of Banff. Still in Canmore it also is more expensive than in Calgary etc.). So basically just buy all your groceries before even heading into the park area if you can :)

Jérôme

(Translated) Not a lot of choice and excruciatingly expensive. We have no choice because there is no store more than 60 kilometers around. Take your reservations before ... I still put 2 stars because the employees are polite and helpful. (Original) Pas beaucoup de choix et atrocement chère. On a pas le choix car il n'y a aucun magasin à plus de 60kilomètres à la ronde. Prenez vos réserves avant... je met quand même 2 étoiles car les employés sont polis et serviable.

su do

expensive than Banff

Seamus T

Outrageous prices. Skip this and buy food in Banff/Canmore/Field

Robert LaRose

If you haven't yet been to Lagans this should be on everyone's map.

Alex Carroll

Small farmers market. Good selection of fresh produce and arts and crafts.

François p

(Translated) The prices are really exorbitant (Original) Les prix sont vraiment exorbitant

(Translated) Well had what we needed. (Original) Udmærket havde hvad vi skulle bruge.

Justin J.R.

It was quite expensive but hey, you're in Lake Louise and it's catered to tourists...as expected

Pascal Bolduc

(Translated) Really overpriced. Very limited, hardly any meat. And again much too expensive. Like 5 times the price you would pay in a normal grocery store. Example, $ 6.99 for a bag of dry pasta. (Original) Vraiment trop cher. Très limité, à peu près pas de viande. Et encore une fois beaucoup trop cher. Genre 5 fois le prix que l'on paierais dans une épicerie normal. Exemple, 6.99$ pour un sac de pâtes sèches.

Marilyn Feeg

This grocery store is like a Dept store & has just about everything. But, I thought $ prices were quite $ high.

B Smith

Small and pricy, but you don't have a choice as it's the only one in Lake Louise. The staff is nice though.

David Murphy

VERY pricy but if you need groceries, this will be the place to get them. The prepared tuna sandwiches are great.

Rob Kulyk

Great except some stores are closed when you wished they were open

amam din

Less varieties and way too expensive

Jonathan Gamache-Houle

Insanely expensive

Giovanni Cipriani

masami torii

(Translated) It is a local market, although it is big locally. We cannot expect assortment as Japan. (Original) 地元では大きいですが田舎のマーケットです。日本程の品揃えは期待できません。

Wendy

Really expensive mini mart with like 800 people in it.

debra burch

The staff is exceptional!!! Phenomenal service.

Marek Bogusz

Many different souvenirs and great crew

Ron Asche

Way above my pay grade

Kandie Doyle

Has a little bit of everything but definitely pricey.

Richard Edwards

It's ok

Amadeus Moor

Lots of fun.

Danny Wu

The “lake Louise mix” is absolutely delicious and has a mix of everything good. Small town market vibes are great.

Ken Ngow

The only choice!

Sangok Kim

(Translated) Several types (Original) 여러종류

Jeanette Saumer

Terrible parking shortage and absolutely exorbitant prices (double normal prices).

(Translated) The amount is relatively high, but accessibility was good. (Original) 금액이 비교적 높은편입니다.그러나 접근성은 좋아 편리했습니다.

Georgina

Beef pie is good

Nicolas Vincent

Price gouging at its finest. For many products, prices are not even displayed. Those that are make you want to eat leaves and rocks outside. Tip: A camping propane bottle is 20% cheaper 50 meters further at the outdoors shop.

Michael Williston

Located in a prime location in the Samson Mall at the Centre of the village of Lake Louise you will find The Village Market where you will find produce, dairy, meat amongst many other items youd expect to find in a grocery store. Lake Louise Is in a remote area so the prices are slighty higher due to the cost of getting most goods to the mountains, stop and be greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Gary Lambert

Touristy but nice. Excellent coffee shop (Trailhead)

ba bo

(Translated) I cut a watermelon on the trip and didn't put a fork in it!!! "WF Plastic Fork" is $2.99 in a small box. I bought it at a good price at a tourist destination, and I was fortunate to have a fork and eat watermelon. It's sticky to eat with your fingers on a hot day... I don't even want to think about it!!! Snacks such as sweets, canned food, bread, fruits, sausages, vegetables, etc. are neatly displayed in the village market, so it is recommended for those who go camping or hiking. When I asked the staff where the forks were, they answered kindly. (Original) 여행에 수박을 썰어넣고, 포크를 안넣었네요!!! "WF 플라스틱 포크"가 작은박스에 $2.99 했어요. 관광지에서 좋은가격에 샀고, 포크가 생겨서 수박을 먹을때 다행이였어요. 손가락으로 먹기는 더운날 끈적거림....생각도 하기싫어요!!! 빌리지 마켓에 과자등 간식류,통조림,빵,과일,소세지,야채등이 깨끗하게 진열되어있어서 캠핑을 하거나,등산등 여행을 하는 사람들에게 추천합니다. 직원에게 포크가어디있냐고 물었을때 , 친절히 대답해주었어요.

Helen Burley

Bearing in mind that Lake Louise is pretty isolated, really frustrating that the one store closes in the middle of the day for 2 hours ( or roughly as they 'aim to open again at a certain time' ) so that they can take a delivery. I mean - really ??!

tlc2000four

If you are desperate it's the only thing around. Very expensive.

ahsan hafsa

Very crowded / high prices

S Ven (S1J1V1)

Friendly staff but a little pricey most likely due to cost of delivery and limited space of the store (business has to make money too!!) good selection for size of store. Also they have plastic spoons forks and knives...just ask checkout clerk.
