Time Out Market Vancouver opens May 28 with 20 vendors
Time Out Market Vancouver opens on May 28 with 20 vendors, turning the new food hall into a single stop for several local names and chef-led concepts. For customers, the opening date matters because the full lineup is set from day one, not rolled out in stages.
Feenie’s Joins May 28
Robert Feenie will launch Feenie’s at time out market vancouver, bringing gourmet burgers into the mix. The signature Le Croc Burger will use a house-ground 6 oz wagyu patty, maple-cured bacon, gruyere cheese, port wine-braised mushrooms, RF signature sauce and a toasted brioche bun.
Chanthy Yen is bringing Mee Bar, a concept built around Cambodian heritage, with Mee Kola, Cambodian-style chicken wings and Nom Banh Chok. Beneath the name-checks, the business logic is clear: opening day is not a teaser menu but a compressed showcase of chef identity, with each stall trying to make a case quickly.
Vij, Baan Lao, Lunch Lady
Nutcha Phanthoupheng is behind a new concept from Baan Lao with an artisan Thai menu, while Barnacle from the Bar Bravo team will serve seafood from Head Chef Jonah Joffe, including Lobby Dogs and The Highroller seafood platter. Lunch Lady is set to bring Vietnamese street food, and DownLow Chicken will add the OG Sando, Signature DL Mac n Cheese and Fries on the Downlow.
Vikram Vij is also opening Peacock, an Indian concept that will serve Samosa Chaat salad. Vij’s has been serving customers since 1994, and Baan Lao was named the best in Canada two years in a row, which puts a premium on how these operators translate established reputations into a food-hall format.
One Market, 20 Concepts
The hard part is not the roster. It is the compression: 20 vendors opening together means each concept has to compete for attention in the same building from the start, without the slow build that usually lets a new venue find its audience.
For readers planning a first visit, the useful detail is simple: May 28 is the date to circle, and the opening mix includes Feenie’s, Mee Bar, Barnacle, Lunch Lady, DownLow Chicken and Peacock. If the market delivers on that lineup, the first wave of traffic should tell Vancouver which names can turn a food hall slot into lasting demand.
