Pretty good selection of the basics. Your paying for the convenience of it being so close by. Enjoy the walk down to the main grocery in the village. Or better yet, pack a small cooler and bring up the basics ith you from the lower mainland or home.

Great little market. Good variety. Quality products. Convenient hours. So great to have this in the upper village. Right beside Fairmont Chateau. Also only place to get coffee sometimes if portobello is closed ;) Please like my review if it was helpful.

Small, but has all the quirky things you are likely to need, from food to an air mattress to a thermometer.

A cool little grocery store, reminds me a lot of Europe, conveniently located in the middle of the upper village area surrounded by many of the newer larger resorts.The available space means it won't have everything but it had everything I needed including a varied selection of fresh produce. It could get a little crowded if there are more than 3 shoppers.
