Laurelle’s Fine Foods is a vendor at the Granville Island Public Market that has got one mesmerizing food display case. I swear I have walked back and forth around the display case a few times before I could decide on what to try. Laurelle’s has lots of homemade style options for eat-in or take out including savoury pies, pastries, and pastas. Got a sweet tooth? You will undoubtedly find some delectable goodies like brightly coloured cupcakes, chocolate covered rice krispies and sugar cookies.
This is one of the hidden gems at the Granville Island public market. While the tourists are stuffing their faces with mall food court slaw in the other wing, take in the deli display cases here. I like picking up a cold roast chicken leg and some salad.
I want one of everything!. Laurelle's is eye candy as much as mouth candy. The more I look at what's in their display cases, the more I want to buy one of everything. Which is too bad, because I live too close to here to come down for a bigger meal, but too far away for me to want to bike down here in the morning in case I feel like picking up a fresh pastry to go with my home-espressed cappucino.
I was in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan recently, where they're nutso about Cornish pasties. When I saw that Laurelle's sells them too -- this stall is mostly about sweet pastries -- I had to try one. It's small, and at $3.99, a trifle expensive for the size. But the crust is crispy and tasty even when I reheated it at home. Decent fillings inside, although I'll have to get out the microscope to see whether Laurelle's used carrots or rutabagas. he propriety of using carrots in pasties is a topic of serious debate in the U.P., you know...
Delicious. I love the triple berry crumble. I tried making berry pies/crumbles at home with online recipes, and they all failed. I don't know how they make it so good without starchy taste.
So, that is mostly what I order when I visit. I used to have Nanaimo bars until I discovered their crumbles.
Spinach Feta Scones. Perfect. Take them home, cut in half, toast.
Scramble eggs. Eat together - delicious!
They serve a number of items here from sweet desserts to savory sausage rolls. We picked the Cranberry Orange Buttermilk Scone and the Raspberry Buttermilk Scone.
