      Small market. Not much. If you are staying close by stop for a visit. Although I believe much of it is closed on Mondays. Places here don't open early ever if they are open that day. There is a food tour apparently for $20 didn't try it but would try it next time. Close to sky train.

      Not much happening at this market but there could be. We've been there fairly early in the day and it's quiet and relaxing for a coffee or gelato. Quite busy at lunch as there are a few eating places. Quality and selection varies, of course, as do the prices. The bakery is just OK with anemic pastries and other lack lustre baked goods. The BBQ place is good and reliable, Wally's burgers is OK as well. The crepe place is interesting and the two Asian places are adequate to good. Very pleasant in the summer when it's possible to sit outside and people watch. Other shopping is practically non existent. A couple of stalls selling jewelry and scarves, a florist, a crafts store, that kind of thing. Very good furniture store with excellent selection of teak and other mid century items. The small supermarket is excellent and offers a great variety of gourmet, high quality items. There's lots of space for more!

      I last visited about three years ago and there were more smaller shops inside and it was a lot more interesting. Now it's a keep fit place upstairs while downstairs is just a supermarket and some eating places. Thankfully the Paddlewheeler Pub is still there. Nowadays it is at most average with very little to interest most people except maybe outside where there is the world's largest tin soldier!

      I remember the old market. Was I shocked when I went back this past year and things have changed! Anyways, nice shops that are there. Nice place for a stroll.

      I have spent a lot of time at NW Quay over the past three decades. Many happy hours walking along the boardwalk, ate many times at the Paddlewheeler Pub, and at the restaurants(s) that were upstairs (Finns was the name of one), wandered and shopped in the fish shops, bakery, fresh veggies, childrens stores, book store, clothing shops and many meals at the hotel restaurant and Boathouse pub. Even went to the casino and ate their when the paddlewheeler casino was there.But then NW Quay ran into financial hard times, was up for sale,sold and rebranded and renamed. Along the way, all the shops are gone.The one shining light is Donald's Market...well done. How they stay alive is a miracle. Great variety and great prices. Like a Capers or Choices right in NW.The other stores could be interesting IF there were others to keep them company...the Artisan pottery shop made by artisan who are challenged is sweet and unique. The refurbished/renewed mid century modern furniture store has neat items too. But two stores, the pub, one food store and a bakery does not a market make.The second floor is a joke..ESL 'Academies' and a circus school.I hope the new owners are serious about making a go of it but there is no indication they are trying. Maybe NW city needs to assist in some way to make this a financial/tourist endeavour. The hotel guests have nothing to keep them down in the neighbourhood. There is so much opportunity for success here given the beautiful location but even the Boathouse restaurant was empty. With the skytrain right there, Douglas college up the street and many new buildings close by, WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?

      Before they so called revamped this place, it used to be a happening place with open markets of fish and meat and vegetables ,kinda smaller version of Granville island. There used to be a great restaurant upstairs, also great fish n chips downstairs.Thank god that the pub stayed behind or there would be more zombie's walking around than there is now.clown school???...wtf is that all about.

      We have seen the River Market rise from next to nothing but while it is much better than its predecessor it is still a far cry from Lonsdale Quay and Granville Island. There is really nothing to do at the market. A lot of food stalls but not much in the way of interesting merchants. As noted by GRDBC it is quite dated and boring

      Last week (Nov. 2013) I took my grandaughter on a sunny day to the Quay as I had not been there for last few years & it was a fun & vibrant place to go. What a surprise. It was basically empty with closed down stores. I felt like I was in a ghost town. Few cars in parking lot, unlike packed when I was last there. The day was sunny & we watched the river which was nice, but what happened to the busy mall & interesting shops? Would love to see this place up and running again as it is a great area.

      Was a lovely experience with beautiful view along the river, lots of locals out walking every sort of dog imaginable and many friendly smiles and hellos. Bargains can be found in many of the markets with very interesting items for sale.

      Found the Quay out dated and boring. It needs some kind of infusion of life. Not to sure what is missing but something just wasn't right here. Definitely an opportunity for the city to invest some capital into and make it something special.
