House-ground wagyu and gruyeré burgers? Cambodian-style chicken wings with lime and Kampot pepper? Steak Lúc Lắc and garlic fried noodles?
From lip-smacking hometown favourites to award-winners and rising stars, the first 6 chefs and restaurateurs tapped for Time Out Market Vancouver’s curated lineup have just been unveiled—and they’re seriously impressive (killer Vietnamese street food and Royal Thai cuisine with innovative twists included).
Celebrating Vancouver’s local culinary talents and bringing a new experience to the city: Feenie’s by Chef Rob Feenie, Mee Bar from Chanthy Yen, Lunch Lady, MaKaam from Baan Lao, DownLow Chicken, and Barnacle by Bar Bravo are the first six vendors announced to join Time Out Market Vancouver when it opens in Spring 2026.

Chef Chanthy Yen joins the lineup with Mee Bar, a vibrant celebration of his Cambodian roots. Beloved for its Vietnamese street eats, Lunch Lady is making its Market debut, while MaKaam—helmed by Baan Lao’s Chef-Owner Nutcha Phanthoupheng—offers modern artisan Thai cuisine at its finest.
Fans of fried chicken can look forward to DownLow Chicken and its iconic crispy bites, and seafood lovers will be spoiled at Barnacle by Bar Bravo, featuring a curated selection of raw and cooked ocean delights.
Where is Time Out Market Vancouver?
Opening in Spring 2026 at Oakridge Park, the food and cultural market will bring the city’s best together under one roof—a curated lineup of standout chefs and restaurateurs, great drinks, and cultural experiences that spotlight top local talent in a casual, one-of-a-kind space.
Oakridge Park is a landmark redevelopment in Vancouver’s Oakridge neighbourhood, bringing together homes, shops, offices, green spaces, and cultural venues in one dynamic district.
Set at the crossroads of West 41st Avenue and Cambie Street (recently ranked one of the coolest streets in the world), Time Out Market sits perfectly between downtown Vancouver and YVR Airport—making it a super easy, convenient stop for locals and visitors.

What is Time Out Market?
Time Out Market is the world's first food and cultural market curated by local experts to bring the best of the city together under one roof. In 2014, a historic market building in Lisbon was turned into the first Time Out Market. Today, there are 13 Markets globally in cities including New York, Montreal, Dubai, Cape Town and Osaka, with more to come – the execution of each is distinctly local to give a true taste of the city it is in. The Vancouver location marks the second Time Out Market in Canada.
