Un Vrai Marché

In the middle of a residential East Vancouver area, walking distance to somerville kitchen, one finds a café underneath a corner house.

Open this door into Le Marché St. George and find yourself in one of the most charming and authentically French cafés in the city.

This heaven is created by two sisters and their aunt who bought the house and the retail space underneath it.  Today, it is a bustling place serviced by attentive owners and their friends. 

The place is a mix of a café, a bakery, a (fancy) grocery store and a couple of fashion items along the way. Every item is unique and not your run of the mill marché produce, food or products.


The produce is seasonal and limited. But this is not where you go for your produce.

This is where you go to have a nicely done cup of coffee or hot chocolate and freshly made beignettes.


There are also quality cheeses, dairy products, sandwiches, pizzas and all sorts of goodies. I think I need to return, try more goodies, pick up a thing or two and tell you more about Le Marché St. George. 


  But best of all, a cosy warm and hopping spot. Anyone joining me?
