Reviews of Victoria Public Market at the Hudson (Fish Shop)

Bruce Ward

When you are in the area especially during lunch time it is a must go to .

Shannon Davis

Good place to find a snack or meal if you're vegan. Pretty copper jewelry. Tea and artisan coffee.

Brent MacGillivray

Lovely little produce market just inside, operated by a chef no less...so you know the quality is good.

Loukia Hernes

Like the shops and the feel. Really enjoyed humble and hive.

Heather Ashley

Absolutely love this public market! They have some of the best food, people watching and shops downtown. Super close to fan tan alley for the touristy photos as well! Beautiful ambiance and lots of seating, sun or shade for eating at nearby restaurant.

Manal Alrfooh

A cozy and lovely place to grab lunch and coffee. There are various places that offer good quality food there.

Ben Krack

It's very unique inside and very cool. See the chocolate school and check out 2% Jazz as well.

Louise McKellar

It is a great place to visit lots of different things to see and food to eat. I love going there.

Bob Edwards

Small market that gets very crowded at times. Enjoyable though and we had a great lunch while there.

Ricardo Nichols

Such great selection of stores and food choices. Plus amazing events for different holidays.

THE ULTIMATE SKINNY

Great variety of restaurants and services. Beautiful building.

B Will

A wonderful re-purposing of an old building. The Hudson Public Market is a shining example of urban renewal. It's an open, welcoming space with a slightly industrial feel. The shops are varied and interesting, and most importantly, they're all local. Since I don't work downtown, It's a little disappointing that it's not open later, but the hours on the weekends are great.

Katie Thornton

Great place to take a big group or a bunch of picky eaters, there's something for everyone and all of its tasty! Be sure to get icecream at the pie company, especially if they have their brown butter brownie! Delicious! Don't forget to grab a coffee at 2% Jazz.

Brenda Rate

Another great place to eat! Lots of variety! Nice selection of peoples crafts.

Clare Pederson

Nice variety of places to eat plus a small selection of local vendors.

Stephen H

Picked up a great coffee. Just inside the doors off Douglas.

Jesmina Biserovic

wonderful setting with a variety of lunch and grocery options

Zachary Schneider (Zach)

Lovely local merchants that change occasionally.

Eugenio Bacordo

A nice place to put your feet up. Photo shows a pie shop among the many eateries in this place.

martin ross

Nothing but an indoor foodcourt now. Only 1 shop left that doesn't serve food. Disappointed after a 20 minute walk from our hotel.

Sarah-Anne Lake

Great selection of food and treats etc from local venders around the Victoria area etc.

S Scholz

Some interesting shops, quite pricey. But a great place to grab a coffee and do some serious people watching!

Oscar Santiago

Nice mix of food inside. The donairs and coffee was really great, among others.

Mike Ramsey

Great place with lots of small businesses. Vicexpress Teriyaki & Roll has the absolute best chicken udon I've ever tasted, and the owners are very friendly and always recognize me (I go there a lot). The other food vendors are of varying quality, but the udon makes it all worthwhile.

Ted Heatherington

Not seeing much stability here. Lots of empty shops or tiny over-stocked spots. I had a noodle soup which had plenty of seafood but the soup seemed like a foil packet of lower end flavouring which over powered the rest of the meal.

Terry the Vegan Cyborg

Beautiful market with a bunch of great shops. Highly recommend The Very Good Butchers for a Vegan meal.

Alyssa Crowder

This place has so many crazy food options inside, I could spend a week here just trying different things

Adrian Nyland

Really neat space with a lot of great food options. The tacos at the taco place are killer. Roast is amazing and Vic Pies... W O W. Parking lately hasn’t been that good due to all the construction. Still worth making the trip.

Kathy McKay

I liked a number of the shops. The chocolate shop has a wonderful selection of chocolate. We also love the pickled beets.

Sarah D (EatEnergizeEvolve)

A great community of vendors! Theres a veggie deli, health food store, tacos (flour not corn though), jewellery, chocolate and lots of meat lovers options too.

Franck “Dirty Blue Groove” Sala

Place is dead. Basically a good court , maybe.

Todd B

Great location and use of this downtown space. I wish - for the tenants- that the rent was cheaper as I miss the Olive Oil store (Olive your Senses) and the French bakery. The Japanese restaurant is good for a quick grab and two coffee shops (Shatterbox and 2% Jazz) is nice to have near the office.

Adriana Gutierrez

Love this little market, so many choices of food. Great vegan/vegetarian options. Also you can get many made local products for your house like chocolates, sauces and bakes. Great place to spend and afternoon!

El B

A must go place with good food selection and live music.

Kathy Cotter

Great food and loved looking at all the hand spun tools and colours!!

Maryanne Carmack

Best place for a quick bite in Victoria! It's also an amazing venue for events!

stephen kagan

Olive the Senses makes the best Balsamic Vinaigrette with an amazing variety of flavours!

David Chang

Awesome shops in here! Really liked The Chocolate Project!

Scott A. Free

Victoria Pie Co. , Local Produce, Local artisans, 2% Jazz Coffee, Olive the Senses, Sutra Indian cuisine, Cowichan Bay Deli and Seafood, Toddler playzone...need there be more said about this place?! Oh and often live musicians!

Clayton Erickson

Very underrated. Lots of unique items and some great places to grab a meal.

Kate Lois Howell

I work close by and come here often. Food is pretty good and a fairly good selection. Prices are good as well.

Denys Fiialko

Nice place to come have a cup of coffee and grab a quick lunch

Tony Smerychynski

Super cute. Was only in the building for a Beer week event though, would love to come back!

andrew alan Grant

Some good cheep food, not really a fan of the pie people tough crust,but good fills comfortable place to hang

Andrée Noye

A one-stop shop(s) for all culinary [accessories] needs -- well I'm a bit sad the actual butcher and fishmonger are gone though. But the vegan outlet is amazing, if different! So I chose to say [accessories] because I can still find amazing oils and vinegar, spices, kitchen gadgets, pies & ice cream, baked goods and a small small grocery. Then the stalls offer chocolate, teas and if you need to grab a bit to eat then you are in for a treat - they are choices-a-plenty!

pele talia

Looks like a lot going in but not a ton of substance. Kind of a not so well done grandville island but the food isnt as good.

Terrence Kuiper

Nice selection of food vendors, my favorite is Roast!

compuPUnk

Great venue with a few great shops. ACCESSIBILITY: Street level entrance on the Douglas Street side. On the east side there are stairs with a lift. There is a accessible bathroom, and the women's bathroom has a large stall with rails. Most shops are also accessible.

Melissa Bachynski

Great place to grab food when you have a variety of people with different tastes. Haven't had a bad meal yet.

Nora Walker

The Public Market is a nice space. It just does not have the buzz and feel that I expect from a public market. Still there are some great vendors and delicious food. It is worth a visit. It just might not take you very long.

Tyler Kennedy

My favorite places in this centre is the very good butcher and shatterbox. Most of the other permanent places are good, but I find as a whole this lacking somehow. It has the feel of a really pricy food court/mall lobby without a big attraction to hold my short attention span.

Sakib A

Really loved the aesthetics of this place. amazing lighting and couple of great restaurants.

Stan Haner

Good choice of food, tables. Paper containers for takeout.

Chris Meglic

Great food vendors, lots of variety of delicious food made with care, and other pop up markets. Shatterbox Coffee has amazing coffee and other beverages, and their soup is amazing! Not to mention their bakery items. There's something for everyone here, from gourmet vegan at "The Very Good Butchers", to tacos, sushi, to a dedicated pie shop (sweet and savoury), and the best pizza I've had at La Pasta, as well as all of their pasta options. "Roast" always looks and smells fantastic, that will be the next place I try.

Ben

Great food and atmosphere when they have music.

Ken Murray

Avoid coming here if you drive. The parking situation was obviously designed to discourage customers from ever coming here. The miniscule amount of available parking is downright dangerous to enter and exit at the best of times.

John Patrick OConnor

Great CD's even better icecream

David Liao

Great location and very clean building, just lack of stores, went in and out in 5 minutes. Maybe it’s because of covid.

Marta Borowska

Lovely market with a lot of personality. Lots of vegan items at Very Good Butchers and some of the other little shops in this market area. There’s even some vegan ice cream. Chill music is playing as well. Lots of seating if you want to eat inside. Cute decorations hanging from the ceiling.

Evan Kurtz

Beautiful market! One of my favorite spots to come for a bite, especially at The Very Good Butchers! Lots of local product and art! Highly recommended.

Stephan

Cool market lots of vegan options

Victoria Driving School Inc.

Excellent public market. Has a French bakery, Mexican food, sandwich shop, charcuterie , cheese shop, pies shop, high end chocolate vendor, and more. Recommend for those who love food!

Michaela Starling

Some nice offerings, but I was underwhelmed. I thought it would be a much larger market. Felt a bit like a food court, abliet better food.

Samuel Navarrete

Giving 4/5 because Victoria has so much more potential than this compared to other markets I've visited. This one's lacking a bit on produce. However, it's very clean and there's good variety

Denise Schreyer

Very small the meat market is the best and also the pie place Try lemon curd yummy

Edward Power

So many great choices of food from Vegan to pork .... pasta to chocolate.... Natural foods and coffee. Pasta and curry. Public bathrooms

Christina

Bit small but really cute stores.

Nancy Fraser

Very vibrant, active Place. Lots of people, lots of choices for meals, groceries, homemade pies, teas and a small food market. They even have free underground parking off the list.

j spain Greene

Home to some of my favourite places in Victoria: Roast, The Chocolate Project and Pi...to name the top 3. This small market primarily offers delicious ready-made food selections. There's a kitchen supply, a butcher, and a small selection of rotating vendors. Parking is becoming worse with every visit - so be a little patient. It's worth a look!!

Glenn Letham

Roast serves up some really nice meet a sandwiches. The pie shop right across from it is excellent also!

Lisa Gimenez

Great little market with some tasty food.

Stephen Phillips

This is a complete miss. The prices are unnecessarily high and the hours are ridiculous. As a working man like pretty much every other person living near this place it would be really convenient if the Grocer was open later than 6 so I could actually buy groceries when I got home from work. Take a page from any other market out there

Ray Clarke-Coates

This place has a great selection of takeout restaurants, vendors, and cafes, as well as a nice little health-conscious market run by a very nice, friendly man. This market also has keto baked good options.

Taz Street

Amazing fresh bread and porchetta! I loved the atmosphere.

Canuckr

As some other people have pointed out, this is not much of a market.. I have been living In one of the Hudson buildings for 2 years and I always use my vehicle to go to a local grocery store for my bi-weekly run. If there was a Fairways style grocery in the area I would be satisfied.

J L

The Very Good Butcher is my favourite vegan restaurant.

John O'Carroll

Hey, I went here to buy a donair from Donair Beasts as advertised on social media. I looked in vain for the place. It was not there. After searching Googlemaps and walking around the building twice, I finally called. The guy who answered told me Donair Beasts is closed due to health issues on the part of the owner.

Kevin Campbell

One of my favorite coffee places is in here.

The Slayer Kelso Yolo

I only ever go there for vegan food and that's it and I love it! Great food great prices served by amazing friendly people with smiles on their faces always, what's more got a question? Ask away and it will be answered! its so amazing that we have a local vegan shop! makes me really proud to call this beautiful city my home❤

Erica Fritch

Good food with many options. Local, ethically raised meat options. Live music days. Decent parking. Each to get to. Lots of seating

Azul Hugh

Pleasant people who run it! Has the advantage of being in a big open space, and indoors.

Stephen DUSTY Roberts

Love this place. Fresh veggies and flowers. What more could you ask for?

Megan Coburn

The Public Market was a wonderful place to wonder on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The shops were open and bustling. It was a wonderful way to see so much local commerce while warming up from the ocean breeze.

Ken Burke

Meh. Pretty small. Not all shops open. Ok for food. This is not an attraction like the Pike Place Market in Seattle or Granville Island Market in Vancouver.

Corey Hobbis

The very good butcher is in this market. I don't need to say anything else YAY Market

richard mckenster

Prompt curteous and delishioso breakfast Burrito.

Andres Felipe Bolivar Blanco

In here you can find all different types of foods and drinks... the place is very nice and you can find anything you need

blaine millman

Good food ! Great live music!

Diana Mackie

I always enjoy a little strole though here when I have the time. It reminds me of a smaller, less busy version of Granville island. All the stores care a lot about their products and the booths always have something fun to look at.

Jennifer Lynn

Quite a few food places to try, a fantastic chocolate shop (with chocolate made from beans from around the world), and is easy to get to. Downside is many closed or empty businesses

Susan Ross

The fresh local fruit and vegetables stand is fabulous. Vendors were so friendly and welcoming

Teresa M

Lots of places are closed, it is unfortunate. Hopefully things will start to get better again next year.

Eric Foxall

Great place for lunch with many tasty options :)

Mathieu Powell

Enjoyed the variety of shops and delicatessens available in the Hudson.

Eli Bender

The best indoor market in Victoria. Good food, coffee, chocolate, and music. All the best things.

Robert Mitchell

A great place to take a break while shopping downtown Victoria. Random live music and local vendors selling chocolate or jewellery make for a unique shopping experience and good browsing. The Very Good Butcher is a must for amazing plant-based food and coffee at 2% Jazz can’t be beat. Very relaxed atmosphere and one of the best places in Victoria to kill time.

Daniel Peirce

Has it all ..sometimes. gotta get their early. Most places come and go... Where did the bread lady go??

Kat F

Great work they did on this old building! It's a bit small but you can find food and local craft. There's a nice store for balsamic vinegar and natural olive oil with many flavors.

Kat B

There are some really delicious food options available here. From savory pies to italian to vegan. A couple of coffee shops as well Also a very instagrammable place if you are into that. Great place too stop in for some good food and to rest your feet. There are tables through out and spaced well apart.

Kevin Jellikit

Decent enough place, with different shops within. Olive the Senses has some great oils, nice coffee shop with pastries, a pie place, butcher, and the list goes on. You can't go wrong here.

Jason V.

I find this place.lacks vibrancy and character. It's trying hard to be cool but ends up being a "high end" food court.

Kam Tafreshi

Awesome little market with fine fast food options.

Ethan Lai

Very small. Food not good

Luke Rivera

Nice little place to grab food or drink in Victoria

Dawn Walker

Much smaller than we thought it would be, and not many vendors.

Gordon Duke

Fine, eclectic collection of eateries and other shops

Andrew Croy

Such a great environment, lots of variety for shops and great restaurants to eat at. We did a food tour here and everything was amazing. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting Victoria to make this a place to check out.

Stefan Walter

Great spot with featuring a drop-in sensory-oriented parent supervised kids play area that opens before the market itself opens. $6 gets you 2.5 hours of drop in which allows your other half to go shop for groceries.

John Dane

The vendors are friendly and it is a cool atmosphere that is an interesting change of pace. I purchased 2 bracelets from a lady who had a table set up. They only cost me $10 each and are handmade. Cant go wrong with that one. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the bay area fam.

Kathleen O'Neill

this place is absolutely stunning! i originally came for the shatterbox coffee bar but as soon as i walked in i was amazed. there are many cute little restaurants, as well as a grocery store type place. at the time i was there, there was live music by an acoustic guitarist, which was a pleasant surprise. overall i really enjoyed my time sitting and drinking my mocha while watching everyone and listening to the music. would recommend a visit to if you are in Victoria. :)

Ni N.

Had lunch here and was pretty good. Many stores to choose.

Samuel Labrie Ross

Was good, but should check the open hour

Gail Rutherford

Came to the Brink Events party last night, it was really cool. I felt like a movie star. Great job and see you next year. Thanks!!!!

MM McKewun

Just food and lame jewelry vendors in middle. You see them all the time. Not a market at all

J Santos (Jean)

Good place to eat and take pictures

Gasing Yu

It was very quiet and only a handful of shops were open. It's a good place to get pastries and a coffee, but as it's a little bit away from the touristy centre, I wouldn't recommend it as point of interest for visitors.

runny maan

So many choices under one roof

Will Reiher

It could be so much better. Some excellent vendors but the overall feel is more of a food court than public market.

Braydon de Wit

Great for a quick afternoon lunch downtown with lots of variety.

A P

Super friendly atmosphere with a good feeling inside the place! Smells fantastic and is very welcoming as well!

Eva Pea

This visit to the public market I picked up some delicious Rosemary and chipotle spice nuts from the chocolate project. The chocolate project is the definite must visit pick up if you want to deliver a gifts that are handmade and delicious. Previous visits to the Victoria market included fantastic sushi.Go enjoy and check out the variety.

M. G.

Not the market we were expecting. Very limited selection more a group of boutiques than produce, grocery and culinary items. Seemed like a food court more than anything.

Lane arndt

A great reflection of the entrepreneurial spirit that exists here in Victoria. From Fresh local meats to the greatest chocolates, pastries, olives, jams, and press you can imagine! We go weekly to Bumble and Hive for some playtime and it's always a treat to be in this space!!

Werner Grundlingh

Good destination for a quick bite to eat.

Cassidy Towers

Not much going on here, although it looks like a great stop for a coffee

Sheila Xie

I love this public market. It feels similar to the public market in Europe. Great selection of a coffee shop Shatterbox, vegan eatery the Good Butcher, and a fresh produce market. There are plenty of vegan options to choose from.

Dallas Howard

There isn't really anywhere good to park to come here. It was really packed in small. But on the plus side there was a lot of very fun vendors and fun food places to enjoy!

Lyndsey Holder

So many awesome things to look at! Really great atmosphere.

Gayle Schier

The market is small but great place for lunch, good selection of food choices. You can spend a little time browsing in the shops, Olive the Senses is a must see & taste, or you can sit & listen to live entertainment!!!

K. Wayne Shantz

I wish we had a real public market, as supposed to a hipster caricature of one.

Sabrina Lundquist

Got some chocolate and quince conserves, Black chick pea curry and a roasted chicken. I love the location. More seating opened up for better spacing.

Clare Pugh

Many food options with spacious and friendly accomodations to meet friends or family.

Bil Greene

Love it. Such great shops! World class chocolate shop, great coffee, amazing local food and cool pop-ups!

Carly W

Bad hours and a very small variety of stores. Why close at 6pm on a weekday? No wonder more empty spots keep popping up- terribly inconvenient for dinner.

Fr. Dominicus Anamacha

Not big enough but it is pretty good for what's there

Peter S

It's always dead in there, never seen it busy. I think its because there is a serious noise pollution problem in the building. A high pitched humming noise coming from the ceiling plus the pork place doesnt properly ventilate their operation and it smells like pork everywhere. Theres a great little mexican place tho

P M Glennie

Very expensive and the word 'market' conjurs up a very different shopping experience than what you get.

Jimmy Lai (Stimulai)

Small market with a few places to eat and shop. Doesn't take long to go through it.

Jaclyn Wong

I love the Public Market. It is always clean and a beautiful place to sit and enjoy some food. I love the restaurants in this building. Once COVID is over, everyone should rent this building for any event they want to hold.

Josh Teng

Yes one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite in this city. I love what the have done with this building, it has a real community feeling going on. There are quite a few food options, I haven't tried them all but the ones I have yum they are delicious. The Victoria Public Market is somewhere I would strongly suggest checking out if you haven't been.

Micaël Masse

Really nice to shop fresh. Nice place to visit and shop fresh products. Small restaurants that seemed nice, but since it closes early and we came in late we didn't have the chance to taste it. You have to go there in the morning or afternoon.

Betina Wheeler

Great place with multiple vendors. The smell alone of sauce and basil was incredible! Several vendor in site - bagels, coffee, vegan meats, pizza, pasta, canned preserves, etc

Maria Mainart

Very small cute little market, not busy at all. Great to chill far from herds of tourists, since it seems like they haven't discovered this place yet. Delicious options to eat, we had La Pasta, recommend it for sure, authentic, simple and super tasty.

SN8DAWG

pies, Roast & lots of other great eats. & super special events too

namyar ray

Third time it's happened to me

Bruce Gillespie

This place is emptied out in there is very little of interest left.

Jon Floyd

Neat mix of food options, good place to go for lunch. French bakery is awesome!

Megan Whonnock

Delicious food options (on the pricier side for a quick lunch, but great nonetheless) and I enjoy the entertainment they have some days. A very YYJ mirror of Granville Island type experience (condensed!).

Doug Blackie

Variety of shops and eateries is good. Most serve quick lunches and hipster fare. VicExpress Teriyaki has great selection of fresh sushi and daily specials. Expect spotty customer service at Roast.

Jason Pettyjohn

Great local market with unique vendors. Definitely check this place out when you are downtown Victoria!

K Stuart

Victoria Pies:. Crispy, veggie pocket pie fresh from the oven - delicious!

Rupal Agarwal

More than half of the restaurants were closed or maybe we just reached at a bad timing on Saturday for lunch.????

Jande Labs

The places I've tried at the Victoria market. There is a pie place in here and the pies are so delicious. To me the best pie is the sausage hand pie (they have a veggie equivalent) The hand pie was about $6 plus tax experience but it's not something you eat daily.. Then there is a pastry shop with really great croissants. They have a breakfast one that's really good. Expensive but a treat occasionally so not as bad I've had Roast a few times, expensive but you do get a fair amount of food . Everything at roast is really good. You can't go wrong with the choices. I usually get the mixed greens salad with meat usually chicken. Con:The line is always long and it's probably how they organized the order taking /staff. It could be more efficient and as a result have less of a line up. There is a Teriyaki place, typical food court stuff, pre done sushi, rice noodles a choice of meat etc. Prices are are very reasonable and you get alot of food. $8 for a full meal that will feed 2 people. Con: The veggies are always over cooked, always looks from frozen. A new place Taco place just open up good selection including a breakfast burrito I tried the chicken burrito ( choice of different meats or veggies )the portions are very small especially compared to other taco places in Victoria. As I waited for my food other people ordered tacos bowls, reg taco etc again very small.. My food was around $12.50. No extras, or special order, or drink or sides. The filling was chicken and rice, no beans! ???? The food was very delicious, the chicken was well marinated, however that price. Just can't. Con: expensive!! Like I said, lots of other taco places nearby with more for your money. Most things in the Victoria Market is on the pricey side.

denise chapman

Wasn't what I was expecting. A lot of little artisanal shops under one roof. They were quite nice but was expecting more of a "market"

Vivian Rosa

I come here often for lunch during my lunch break at work. I've tried about every place here by now, and everything is delicious. Everybody who works in the building is also incredibly friendly and a pleasure to have small talk with.

Rod sharp

Great place for family to share a meal (you know, when everyone wants something different!). There are multiple places to eat and buy healthy food. And if you feel like cooking at home (or at least re-heating something you picked up for dessert) there is a kitchen supply shop with something to inspire you. Looking for something special for that someone special? Jewelers, a chocolatier, and a variety of other vendors are there to welcome you like an old friend. And you will see people who live in the area; there are very nice apartments in the floors above the Market. The building used to be a major Hudson Bay venture and is now a landmark historical building.

Cory Schreyer

Not what it used to be. Basically a few expensive restaurants. But, it does have some tasty & unique foods.

Nodo

Has become much better in the past months, and is a nice way to shop. It's like a mall, but without any of the drawbacks

L C

All the tourist books said this was a place to go, for both locals and tourists. I didn’t realize though how small this place was. I was expecting a market similar to Granville Island. This place was no where near what I thought it was going to be. It was a waste of a cab ride for us. We were quite disappointed. We probably looked around for 5 minutes and that was it.

Christine Chan

The market was very, VERY small, only maybe 10 stores altogether, which only 2 of them were for shopping. If you are looking to go shopping, you may get disappointed. The two stores there were in there tho sells very cute house hold items and unique chocolates. Great selections of food.

Garpin Lithor

Two yuppy, too echoey, no atmosphere, high price point

ryan arrowood

Cool place, but the butcher is no longer there

Ian Lloyd

Great selection of foods from various vendors, too much to mention but all best in city

Luisa Ramirez

Nice market, no many selection but nice environment

Marc Doucette

Great selection of quick, tasty food at reasonable prices. Couple of small storefronts add well.

Rebecca MacNaughton

Great place to get local and organic goodies. Love the vegan butcher, chocolate vender, French bakery and kitchen gadget shop!

Ross Walton

Interesting selection of foods. It's like an indoor food truck festival. Wasn't busy at all when I was there.

Arsema H.

Nice and local. I got myself some fresh local vegetables and got my latte. Love the vegi store and coffee owner/workers. I recommend it to anyone who likes fresh, local and descent people.

Alex B

Good selection of local businesses. Great place to stop for a bite to eat.

Lola Shepota

There was a small jewelery shop with amazing jewelery items such as pedants, necklaces, rings. Handmade works.

Brad Olesen

Nice indoor market, a variety of hand crafted items such jewelry, art and hand crafted preserves.

Renate Herberger

I went to a special event there, and had the opportunityfor the very first time to taste a number of items at the Very Good Butcher. Excellent quality... and for me, it was tastier than meat!

Flo Schultz

Nice indoor market, great food, olive oils, vinegar and a bunch of other things...

Brigitte Foulds

I was expecting a farmer's market but it is more of a specialty food court with some vendor tables down the middle. Great bakery in the back and if you are a chocolate connoisseur then you must go see David at his international chocolate table!

Natasha Carville

There's always something new happening and the food vendors are great!!!

Dune Boon

Hungry for a great meal and you're downtown but not completely downtown. The old Bay building has a great selection of market meals. I recommend grabbing a hand pie.

Geoffrey Stamp

Great down town spot for an array of local flavors

Donya Arani

A must visit for fans of local artisan shops. Great bakery and a wonderful array of cuisines to choose from for lunch !

Guillermo Mier

Charming market! Great for informal eating, lots of doog quality choices.. And if you're looking for that hard to find kitchen accessory visit charming Sabrina at Whisk kitchen accessories.

Jessica Manley

Smaller than I expected but worth it for sure. Make sure you check out theupstairs, they have some amazing waffles!

Jillian Robertson

Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the selection of stalls. The market used to have positive lively energy. What happened?

Lesley Davies

It's a shell of its intended purpose...so sad this is what's become of that space. Standing in here looking around there's absolutely nothing resembling a market ...yes I know I used to be a vendor and its from that perspective I see how much is lost from the original concept

skysurfyou

Great Tacos. Realty great. The best shrimp tacos I have had outside of Mexico.

jacob tremblay

Great pies, go here for pie it’s so yummy

Roxanne Bertrand

Ok. Nice to see the old Hudson Bay store re-purposed, just hoped for more.

Enakshi Samanta

Nice, but not many shops.

Steve Ford

Customer service is not their strong point. Act like they are doing you a favor

Andy S

We held our wedding reception at The Hudson in July 2019. It was a great choice and the staff were amazing at helping us plan things out. Highly recommended!

Burton DeGroot

Love the shops and the people. Such a great atmosphere. Prices are also so good.

Christie Bradley

Great little restaurants and shops. Casual and fun.

Carrie Davis

Many options of food to choose from. Has rustic appeal. Overall, a lovely place to visit.

Nicole L

I am a huge fan of the public market perfect one stop shop for holiday gift buying, lunch at a local food vendor, or to pick up some grocery items at the little natural grocery shop inside. They do community cooking classes and have a very active social media profile as well (go follow them!) Some sample vendors include silk road tea, very good butchers, and le pasta.

Brenda Nicole Tan

If you’re looking for teas, locally made soaps and jewellery, this is the place for you. Otherwise, there’s nothing much really.

Ryong

The spicy seafood nooddle soup in the sushi place is great. And there are many tables in he public market.

Tommy

Not a huge market, but a neat place to wander for a little while and check out some good eats.

Graham Elger

Great place for high quality, yet quick food. Roast has fed me a few times. Meat ball bowl with half rice and half salad. Do it!

Perry Lewis

A tucked away secret glad we found it..local food venders..the even have a small stage with live music.

Google Guide

Nice alternative place to get away for a meal or coffee from one of the food establishments in a hip but informal place. There are a few specialty shops too.

Ryan Sexton

Great place for local food

Steven S

Totally over rated. Not a market more of a mall

Sarah Wu

It’s not what you think a public market should be.. there is No Fresh Vegetables and Fruit stalls here.. just a bunch of small food fair style eateries with frozen takeout options and small stalls and shops..

Terry Krenbrink

a couple of empty retail spots makes it a little less vibrant.

Parris JuRay

The Victoria Public Market is a great addition to the area. There are quite a few food option to choose from, a great atmosphere and occasionally free live music throughout the week. I highly suggest you check it out :)

Alexandra A

I love the Victoria Public Market! It's a great place to eat as there are a TON of choices for all tastes and sensitivities. They do regular music, vendors and even cooking classes. For sure worth a trip to eat. I specifically went there for WaffleBeast this time and it was delicious.

Philip Schram

Market comprises mainly of butchers and tea shop as well as one or two restaurants.

Will Hunt

Best gluten free fish and chips here as well as other great food. Shame it's not open later or we would eat dinner there a lot more often.

Angela Ung

Good place for lunch. Always smells good when I walk around the market.

Dugald Thomson

Nice spot to grab a bite or souvenir. The chocolate shop is great.

Trystan Jerome

Really not much here. More like a food court ????

ANDRE ARANHA

Just not worth your time. It should not be advertised as a " public market". There is no market in place

Genesis Paroco

They started opening more places after COVID. The place is always clean, has a dinning area and washrooms. You can find a good variety of food.

Dxunfiftyfour Robi

Loved the market. Yes it is a bit dark inside. But I like it. Its not the type of place you stay in for awhile anyways. Good variety of foods, indian, asian, mexican, vegan are the ones that comes to mind. I also like the westcoast store. Lots of nice superfoods etc. Will be back here quite often.

Emily Schneider

Smells great and has a wonderful selection of things to eat, browse and buy. Has a fun environment to hang out in

ace of mase

High quality food at high prices

Thomas Titan

What an amazing place! Be prepared to be overwhelmed with choices of great food. Please check this place out.

Andy Bernhart

Fantastic space - top notch restaurants, stores and local farmers markets. This place brings out the best local businesses in Victoria. Silk Road Tea, Olive the Senses, Cowichan Bay Seafood, and Ravenstone Artisan Meats, you can't go wrong. Love the gluten free fish and chips at Cowichan Bay Seafood!

Sean Croft

Great place to go for lunch with a variety of food options. Great open space that often has some live music. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick meal.

Ty Agha

They tried to make it like Granville market but clearly failed. Few overpriced stores. Closed early.

Andrew LD

A cute market with small restaurants and some dining space.

Kristy Vidal

The lunch eateries are quaint and high quality. The Victoria Pie Co is one of my favorites.

Eamonn Alphin

Quirky, but needs more variety. Sad that the nice French bakery closed.

Marc Rivard

Had some super tasty vegetarian food. So good!

K Barker

A number of good places to eat, have coffee and dessert.. will return

Jeremy Balliston

Love the food here. Check out roast most especially.

Carol Baker

Lots of nummy food go there to try mmm there fast and its friendly there

Janette Bonin

Must visit when in Victoria...lots of delicious food

Ganesh Shankar

Awesome little market stalls selling fresh and unique foods. Make sure to check out the vegan butcher and oil & balsamic store

Kevin Bailey

A basic market, With features such as live music, over priced food selections and cramped sitting areas. Cute but try not to go there often.

Adrian Thomas

Great little place, popped in for the Meat free butcher

Joe Victoria

Love the atmosphere and vibe of this place. Still has room to improve.

Devan M

The taco stand is awesome, Cedric is really attentive to his customers needs and will go the extra mile to make sure dietary concerns are given extra care.

Jacqueline Cullimore

Perhaps I was anticipating a bit more, but the Victoria Public Market could use a bit of an overhaul and refresh. The restaurants at the market are great, but the overall ambience leaves a bit to be desired. We did visit during a quiet time of year, so hopefully the warmer months bring a bit more vibrancy!

Nathaniel Parry

A delightful collection of high quality stores, so much food variety it's hard to choose.

Don Gorman

Pretty lame....not really a "market", more like a little food court.

Martin McElroy

The Victoria Public Market, located in the old Hudson Bay building is a great collection of food outlets to suit a wide variety of tastes. Indian, Mexican, Vegetarian, Vegan, Coffee, Cheese, it's all here, and more! Once you've found your favourite, it's an easy eating experience, and there's always the choice of something new if you're feeling adventurous. Most of the outlets are locally owned, and the staff are passionate and knowledgeable about their offerings. The best of Victoria! Find your food, grab a table in the main area and shoot the breeze with friends. It's what eating out should be.

Kelly LaForest

Great selection of local vendors.

Shael Zelunka

Owner's need to support Bumble and Hive more ! - I would not visit this place at all and spend money on food vendors if it weren't for them ! It's the only place for parents to take their kids for fun in the whole downtown of victoria!

Donna Marie

Everything was shut down because of failed ventilation. Thankfully Smatterbox was still open. Yay!

Micha Marie

Great to have so many good foods in one space. Roast is so good! You have to try a box of balls!

Faizel Mootheril

I go there often. Good place to grab a coffee or lunch! Also, have a grocery store that mostly has vegan things!

Lawrencia Armoire

Nice place, good variety of eats via the food court. Free parking as well.

Lincoln Z. Shlensky

Lots of great, mainly healthy choices. Roast, for one, is delicious, as is the hand-pie shop. All this goodness despite a loud, less than ideal physical space, where merchants seem to come and go with regularity.

Edward Macdonald

Not so much a market. More a high end food court. Great place for a quick lunch.

Dutch Droid

Great vegan food

LPL

Nice little public market but not much variety. Although it looks like they are moving a few of the shops around. Possibly adding more businesses?

Joseph Willson

I had high hopes for a public market for Victoria when the idea was first proposed, even after it opened thinking vendors would change and things would eventually even themselves out. Quite frankly, with few exceptions, I still see this as a disappointment to the city...

Gabriel Richard

A little place to go grab a bite in a very relaxed ambiance. For tourists (like myself) it's okay-ish but if I was a local I would visit the place often. There are many different options for food!

Nanette Goodfellow

Very small good place to grab a bite to eat.

TH N

Great beef burrito. Nice flovour and hot sauces.

lily hsueh

Small restaurants inside. Bathroom coded. Some spots for venders are empty.

Derek James

Interesting variety of unusual food stores - we ate at Roast which was great. There was a vegan butcher and a tea stall too along with various Asian outlets.

Jennifer Whitfield

The market is changing and finding its footing now. I visited recently and loved the cafe and chocolate shop

aaron mercer

Lots great shops to visit, the grocery store has good supplies, the very good butcher has a great plant-based menu to explore. you can get local jam and there is a great bakery booth there too. plus so much more!!

Gee

Good little food market! Vegan sausages, savory and sweet pies, Indian food, tacos, pasta, amazing variety of chocolate, coffee shop and natural store. Convenient location downtown.

Neil “Papa Bambam” Bamford

Upscale food and vendors. All of them are outstanding regardless of if you eat on premise or if your picking up something to go.

Leo Bartels

This place really impressed me, I've thought a lot about how great a place like this would be so I loved getting a chance to see it. There are some really cool shops including a grocery store with a lot of local and healthier food (quite a lot of selection). A very good bakery. I had a porchetta sandwich from a sandwich shop, it was delicious. There were some smaller craft sellers. Live music and movies some evenings. Its a good spot to eat with groups as there are multiple food vendors with some communal seating. I will go back every time I'm in Victoria.

Elise Barrie

Having lived abroad half my life it was odd moving to Victoria and finding out that the 'Public Market' was more of a fancy food court than a real old-European market hall. Never the less, it's got some great places to eat and a couple little vendors. Worth checking out for lunch if you're downtown!

Jeff Lantz

The market is worth a stop but not nearly as large or exciting as the hype makes you think. If in the area it is worth stopping in but I would not go out of my way to visit.

Luca Dell'Isola

Sad to see a lot of shops closed, but this place has a nice vibe and good food...

DOUGLAS WARD

Great food, soup and people at Shatterbox!

David Chauvin

Very good lunch place. Lots of choices and easy seating. I enjoyed a fresh roast beef sandwich at Roast

Michelle Lalonde

Not very many stores.. didn't see any fruit or veg like any good public market normally has.. just a small handful of noted looking vendors

Alexis MacMillan

An Ok stop for quick bites. I would love to be able to buy some deli items here. Like real cheese, meat, crackers etc.

Gemma K

Lots of great local products here. Amazing coffee and food choices.

Pink Rpunya

Super fun to walk around. Great place to spend a weekend hanging out with your friends and family

CMO Lauretta

Cool place to find nutritious fast food.

Bruce Ty

I had coffee at Shattered Box Coffee and the soup at The Big Spoon. I recommend both places, same owner

Aleksander Tsvetkov

I was soo excited for this public market.....what a suprise (and not a good one) it was. Not much going on here.

Ryan Spedding

Great lunch spot! Many choices.

toni o

Love the indoor food stalls. My favourite is the fresh baked breads & pie stall. Food prices are slightly higher but than could be caused by the rental rates. Lunch hours are jam packed often challenging to find an empty seat.

Steven Leith

So sorry to see business closing in there, Salt Spring Cheeses but at least Olive of the Senses is still there. :)

DANA PANKOWSKY

Small but has various kinds of foods!

Jon Grove

Find it overpriced and unattractive inside. The location is great though for lunches

Jason Klatt

Not well advertised, but there's gluten free fish & chips inside!

Joel A

Neat place with a very tall exposed ceiling. I think the intent was for it to look "cool" with the open cement,mechanical equipment, piping and electrical everywhere, but I find it distracting. I'm not sure if the building is finished and these are real shops I'm browsing. The shos are great!! The vendors are amazing! I have yet to try them all but the Pie company makes amazing treats hot and ready or take away to bake.

ENAKSHI PAUL

Nice place, but not many shops.

Greg Holtz

Everything seems over priced. They are constantly cycling through vendors so I'm never sure what will be there, though 3 or 4 seem to have had some longevity. The food is good, just small portions for what you are paying. Bumble and Hive is awesome for taking kids to for play time.

Andreas Hofmann

While working through a project in Victoria, I always enjoyed taking walk outside to this public market. A healthy variety of artisan foods and goods. Roast was a favorite stop for me.

tim de souza jensen

Best chocolate shop I have ever visited in the Victoria Public Market! Amazing selection

Tina Yang

I have a great experience at the roast meat restaurant, freshly vegetables and delicious food.

Tami Gilmore

The French Loaf is awesome! Such yummy things to eat????❤

Tayna Ellie

had lots of fun here when beer fest was going on! very cool, lots of different food and drinks.

Tim Brewer

A public mall that is always changing one of the things I love to hate some favourites go missing but new favourites are found

Philip Hsu

Still have a lot of stores space to lease

Digital Loop

It's almost all chitzy type restaurant cafes with a couple shops that sell things you find in mall shops that are floor to ceiling wall to wall kitchen gadget junk.

lisa mobley

Wonderful place to check out.

Richard Jagger

Disappointingly small number of stalls in here. Was hoping to be able to buy some fresh produce, but very little choice.

Schermetz

The Public Market has become an outlet for fast food suppliers and offers little with respect to fresh fruit and vegetables. In addition, there are a bakery and specialty oil and vinegar place but not much more. The most inconvenient issue is the very limited parking closer to the building.

Jutta Eger

Ya gotta do this ! The “Taste of the Victoria Public Market” was absolutely fabulous! The genuine enthusiasm of all the vendors and the incredible food that we got to taste made it truly a great experience! We had never even been in this Public Market before. We will definitely be back! Don’t miss this one !

Daniela Cristina Lima Franco

Cozy place with some nice places to eat. There is a place calls Pie and Co that is really delicious!

Jannick Slavik

Paid the street parking to run in and pick up what was 100s of dollars in gifts for a wedding. Came back to car - 5 min late. Left with big ticket from overzealous bylaw enforcement. Not only will I never visit the Victoria Public Market ever again, but I'll never visit Victoria again. After all, why would I visit a City whose Mayor is an anti-Canadian, virtue-signalling leftist?

Joe West

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get. When called to pick up our order for my daughter and myself a thief had grabbed half the food before we could walk 10 feet to the pickup counter. They realized it had been pilfered, looked around and immediately remade the order. It appears this is par for the course at this food court - so much for ambience.

Z D

Lots of unique foods to choose from. Great place to wander around and lose some time while you eat some fresh food!

Jan Brens

Lots of different things to be entained by. Unique things to see and lots of choices for food. A place worth seeing and experiencing. Very friendly people and welcoming for sure.

Wild Barefoot Gypsy

Love the diversity in foods available, it's a casual fun atmosphere in the heart of downtown. Wonderful artisan baked goods, ethical coffee options and locally owned and operated businesses a plenty. If you're worried about it being over crowded, it's not this time of year. It's quite relaxing to sit, grab a cup of coffee at one of the tables throughout to enjoy a break from the hustle and bustle outside.

Liza

We were there on a Saturday afternoon wasn't busy and a few of the Shops we're not even open.

John Cole

Disappointing how small this place is. There are probably only 10-12 merchants in the whole building.

Reuben Hubbard

Basically a really nice food court. With checking out!

john smith

Always worth a visit, try the bean butcher's mac and cheese.

Erin Benner

I love coming here with my little family! Great spot to pick up a pastry and a coffee, then head in to Bumble in Hive for a play date.

Js R

It has a wide variety of food, and interesting artsy crafts being sold down the center of the main corridor. Its definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Arnold Linda Strashok

Great place to browse and have lunch

Angel Hanson

Didnt look around to much was there for a interview...it looked really nice tho

Shirley Lovelace

Very disappointing. 95% places to eat. Very few shops to wander thru.

Julie Morales

Come check out the vendors. I am here with my crystal water bottles and crystal dog collars :)

Jason Yee

The Victoria Public Market mostly consists of a few restaurants and a few shops. I was hoping to see some open air produce, meat, and floral shops but to no avail. The restaurants did offer great smells that lured me into their stalls. Some even offered great deals! The taco shop offers $3 tacos during happy hour. That's cheap! Walk around and take it all in.

Douglas Chen

A fun place to go for a casual lunch. A lot of selections.

Wildewood Custom Homes

Great Breakfast burrito at one of the vendors

BC Vinny

Some decent options try to support looks like a tough go

lennie rowley

Very little in there basically oe small hallway

Jesslynn Shaw

Love to take my 1 year old to bumble and hive to play then get some amazing food at the friendly butcher after.

Dean B

Was very quite for lunch time, bit of dull industrial atmosphere. The food looks good!

Daniel Lee

Best pie I have tasted. Also they got decent chicken place that sells roasted chicken.

taketoshi kodama

A market in the downtown of Victoria. we can buy meals for lunch, and eat them here. There is little fresh food. rhe meals are cost effective.

John O'Connor

Safe bus stop, This was the original H B C

William McCarty

More like a food court than a public market. Decent food selection but not what I would consider a public market.

Jay Jordan

Meh. I went looking for a farmer's market and found a food court instead. Had a decent meal at the Mexican place and picked up some rhubarb at the produce shop. Not bad, but not the market I was looking for.

Nicole Nickels

Open 7 days a week, this beautiful open space welcomes all arrays of vendors from hand crafted jewelry, homestyle pastries, fresh sushi, great coffee and local produce both vegan and otherwise. Excellent community hot spot to take a moment to enjoy in the heart of downtown

Natalie Kelt

I like visits to this spot and hope to head back and try a few more new businesses. It's a fabulous open space with lots to offer. Lots of friendly eateries. Clean bathrooms. Accessible spaces.

Patrick Glenn

Always stop at Roast for awesome food!

Barbara Wilkinson

Full of cool shops, a great spot to grab lunch but the choices might overwhelm you at first! Go often and try everything, it's all amazing.

Lisabeth Bryon

I I haven't been to the Market in years. I went when it was still relatively new. Some of the shops r gone now but a lot of centre aisle tables set up. Some with flashy silver jewelry which had me hypnotized of course. A kitchen shop with all sorts of new tools. Not sure what to get the beloved but I'm sure there is something there he would like to have. Small cafes of yummy foods including butter chook. And when you walk in you can start with a cup of tea or coffee and maybe a dessert to munch along.

T. Orton

Decent food but it's all very expensive.

Joy Robinson

The market should get five stars because of the excellent food and products on offer from a nice variety of vendors. My quibble is with its too-dark, cave-like atmosphere. Better lighting and some colour could make the cavernous space more inviting. More imagination please!

Jewel Desjardins

Lots of fun to go to and great options for food (for basically any diet!) I always love going

mikey be

Perfect place if I'm not sure what to eat. Taco Stand, Shatterbox and Very Good Butchers are my favourites but everything is quite lovely there.

patrick matthews

I really like the market for the fresh produce fresh off the farm. It's the same price or cheaper for fresh produce that is fresher than what you'd buy from the grocery store. And you can find more elusive vegetables Desh than you can find elsewhere. All in all, a great place to shop!

Matthew McCormick

Great place to get food for people walking around down town. Not easy to park at by car though. Lots of fresh food like pie and noodles at small booths. Cheap prices and different stores on the weekends.

Cookie T

Very cute & clean marketplace, the perfect place to grab some coffee & food, & sit in the cafeteria. I always get the Very Good Butchers (vegan)!

James La Plante

It's great here. So many cool shops. Oh, and the Japanese place! It's my favourite!

Barbara Hansen

Great place to wait for a friend. Good variety to keep me entertained.

Ramona Breedveld

The salad I had is good. I wish the place is bigger and no parking fee outside.

Andrew Mueller

Great selection of food and wares at a surprisingly reasonable price. Make friends with pie, olive the senses and the butcher shop are all favorites. Try the pulled pork sandwiches.

Sheryl L

Dull - don't waste your meter money - food offerings are pricey and not much variety. Could use an organizational overhaul. Perhaps the landlords could lower their rents so that the vendors can lower their prices ? Just sayin'

Elizabeth Marsh

Work close by. Most of the places to eat are top notch. The kitchen store is my favourite place to shop for kitchen gadgets.

Lucy Hagos

I live at the husdon, so its convenient and good food spots!

Monique Murphy

Great local Farmer's Market. Vendors offer organic, local items and food. Local live entertainment. The only negative is that it is only there on Thursday afternoons during the summer months.

Brayden Asenso

Tons of different local restaurants and artisan shops.

Harry Powell

Coffee and pie shops had excellent products.

Petrus W

A nice place to have lunch or snack. Many unique small restaurants inside, a worthwhile visit.

B K

Lots of good little shops to eat at for lunch. Went to the bakery and was upset we found it on the last day in town. Cool little place to check out.

Gillian Rich-Barber

Artisan jewelry, chocolate, and all sorts of yummy foods to eat!!! Also a coffee shop

Grzegorz Suchora

It was ok, but honestly was expecting a little more. Some stalls are fairly pricey for the product your getting, even by victoria standards. Not enough variety, but at least the owners are all nice and friendly

Emily Sax

Was not at all what we were expecting. Not really a market, but rather a handful of food shops in a small arcade. We went for breakfast to discover this is a not really a breakfast location as everything on offer was more lunch/dinner orientated. Might be better later in the day when your after some lunch.

Archonic Energy

Good food choice. Neat craft items.

Amy Bateman

I guess it was ok for a food court, there were a bunch of different food vendors. You could get everything from vegan to roast beef and what looked like a great pasta bar. However I was expecting a market where there would be local artisans selling there goods. Definitely not the case. A little disappointing.

Mary Sawtell

Good food but very limited number of vendors

Heide Doberstein

Pretty cool, lots of choices for lunch.

Christopher Keays

Awesome fresh produce. Locally procured and pesticide free. Prices reflect effort and care of products

Elaine

Nice little shops, grocer and food stalls.

Judy Card

Smaller than expected but loved it! Crafts and meat markets....

Jennifer

Nice selection of restaurants. Not mainstream eateries. Basically a small food court

Kenneth Bonner

Interesting shops, but venue is getting a bit 'shop-worn' ... needs updating.

andrew brodersen

A great place for Victoria Beer Week Liftoff party!

Barry Howorth

Interesting foods in there.

Haiying Kuang

Really beautiful public market—maybe the best I’ve ever been to. All of the vendors are very friendly, which creates a great atmosphere. The shops and restaurants are very aesthetic and hip. It’s a lot of fun, even if you just look around and don’t buy anything.

Tom Berry

Good, not great selection for lunch. No chain shops is nice. Daughter loves the non meat butcher. Live music at lunch is a plus.

Ariana Mugford

Great place to drop in and eat lunch. Lots of choice!

Douglas Wilkinson

It was absolutely fantastic I quite enjoyed everything I came across in there. Lots of Fresh Bakery items some really fun restaurants and some good coffee. I will definitely be going back I'll make it one of my go to places when I'm down there. I found a fantastic Artesian Bakery that's there Friday and Saturday with their products I will definitely make a point of going back to that one especially. If you have the time stop in and enjoy it. And if you're a foodie you'll have fun in there between the Asian food Italian food and all the other ones that were there great times.

Chris Eve

Great food. Good value. Our group ordered from four different stalls.

Victor F

Great place to meet up with someone, have lunch or people watch. There's a wide variety of restaurants, a coffee shop, tea shop, bakery, even a little grocery store. They also have live music certain afternoons. I recommend checking it out especially if it's grey out.

Samantha Kube

Just a bunch of food places, not quite what I expected walking in.

Colin Hickey

Really amazing food options.

ayato4life

the market is kind of empty with a few store closed.

Peter Green

Nice little market square. Parking is a bit tough. Great rustic french loaf at the bakery. Will have to be my go to with no Grand Central bakery como here in Victoria.

Bradley Pottle

I had an ackward interaction with security staff stated "You need to leave right now because we are closed" in a rather inappropiate tone. The two large security personal hovered over me in an inappropiate manner for absolutely no reason. I was simply siting at a table drinking an orange juice from a nearby vendor. This sercurity person should be trained to in an appropiate mode of communication with the public, not as if he is on an Afghanstan mission. Otherwise, the vendors and products offered are of high quality and specialized.

Tim Jamer

We have been here a few times now and always stop by for a snack. Several great venders here.

Emma Marsh

Great cookie stand at this market

Rhonda Thibeau

Comfortable space to visit in, though a little loud for the music. Neat shops.

Aaron Gyorkos

Great local products, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A fun shopping experience.

Cindy Conway

Very good choices of eateries, my favourite is The Bikery and Roast.

Lars Hildebrandt

Honestly I was looking for more variety. But a great little food court, really...could use more fresh produce vendors.

Devon Bottomley

It’s pretty good for food but the market is never too top notch. Probably because there isn’t enough traffic for market vendors who are higher end to spend their time there

Daniel Strangelove

Good selection of various items. If like to see more little venders.

Steven Kelly

Good food, ambience was better before pandemic.

S Y

There’s one of the best restaurants that makes Korean-Chinese food inside!

Shelagh Benner

Food kiosks make for great choices. Public washrooms not kept up.

Owen

Volunteered for Victoria beer week there, sort of lousy market with very few vendors a cheap rip off of Granville Island

M.A Ismail

Wasted parking money on this market. Theres only a few amount of stores which are similar in nature. I would of expected a larger variety and size of the place given the huge sign they have outside.

Deanna Risi

I loved this indoor market. Silk Road Tea is amazing. The staff are knowledgeable and it is very good quality tea.

Ingo Speier

A few great little restaurants for a bite, but quite small

Tom Kile

Great place! It took a while to pick a place to eat. We really enjoyed our lunch!

soccaboi8

Beautifully designed industrial asthetic with a great selection of food vendors to fit your every changing mood.

haim Altman

The Roast restaurant has a very good & tasty grilled chicken. The best I ever ate!!!!

Amanda Robins

The public market has that awesome local feel but is also a cool tourist destination. Lots of cool eclectic food spots and some cute shops. We've been to several events here - liquor tastings and movie nights which we've always enjoyed. Really looking forward to trying the vegan butcher shop that just opened up. Always busy, lively and crowded, the public market has some of the Granville island feel. I'm looking forward to seeing this place grow over time. ????

Steve Matthews

The victoria pie place has delicious food.

Ed Stirling

Fewer vendors than expected. Pricey.

D Azarov

The market was nearly empty when we came there. Not much to see.

Rebecca Simms

Wonderful atmosphere with a nice selection of artisan specialty items.

dan gillespy

A very nice and very good selection of food .

Jeff Chang

Great place to get real good eats!

Miles W

Love the Victoria Public Market as a lunch place, lots of options and generally good food.

Stephen Cornish

Amazing for what is an underground food court. Fresh pastas. Vegan faux butchers. Exquisite chocolate bar center. Well worth a look, plus free parking!

Chris White

2pm on Sunday all stores closed waste of of walk

Gordie Case

Best chicken sandwich ever sauce makes it worth the walk just up from chinatown

Danika Adam

Had a chocolate peanut butter cream pie from Pie Co. Fantastic!

ケビン

Quiet food court with some small shops. Great to see what's new once in a while.

Marc Thorsen

Stopped in on Saturdays for lunches and not disappointed! Few places shut down still but the ones that are open are awesome!

Paul Townsend

A good place to grab a tasty lunch.
