Vancouver’s culinary scene is about to level up in a major way. Time Out Market Vancouver, the globally loved food and culture destination, has just revealed the first six powerhouse vendors set to anchor its opening at Oakridge Park in Spring 2026—and the lineup is nothing short of spectacular.

Spanning 50,000 square feet with 18 kitchens, three bars, a coffee counter, a dessert counter, and nearly 1,000 seats, this will be a true gathering place for locals and visitors alike, blending award-winning food with culture, community, and events—all under one roof.

Meet the First Six Culinary Stars

Here’s who’s officially joining the market:

Feenie’s by Chef Robert Feenie: Iron Chef legend Robert Feenie is bringing elevated comfort with gourmet burgers, including his iconic Classic Burger and a luxe Time Out-exclusive wagyu version inspired by Le Crocodile.

Mee Bar by Chef Chanthy Yen: Top Chef Canada 2024 winner Chanthy Yen debuts a bold Cambodian concept featuring charcoal-grilled meats, vibrant noodle bowls, and modern heritage-driven flavours.

Lunch Lady: The Michelin-recognized Vietnamese street food favourite is expanding its cult-following menu of Steak Lúc Lắc, garlic noodles, and crave-worthy classics to the Market.

MaKaam by Chef Nutcha Phanthoupheng (Baan Lao): From the chef behind Canada’s Best Restaurant comes a new modern artisan Thai concept, including a reinvented pad Thai with aged tamarind and buffalo milk gouda.

DownLow Chicken: Vancouver’s legendary Nashville hot chicken joint is serving its iconic OG Sando, mac & cheese, and fiery fried chicken favourites.

Barnacle by Bar Bravo: A seafood-forward offshoot of one of Vancouver’s most acclaimed neighbourhood spots, featuring oysters, Jonah crab cocktails, and stunning seafood towers.

More Than a Food Hall—It’s a City Experience

Time Out Market is known worldwide for bringing the best of a city together through food, culture, and entertainment. With locations already thriving in cities like New York, Montreal, Dubai, Lisbon, Cape Town, and Osaka, Vancouver becomes the second Canadian city to welcome the concept.

Set inside the transformative Oakridge Park redevelopment, the Market will sit at the intersection of community, culture, and cuisine—just minutes from downtown and YVR.

From casual bites and elevated street food to refined seafood and cultural programming, Time Out Market Vancouver is shaping up to be the city’s next great culinary destination.
