Downtown street vendors : Fresh Local Wild


One of the newest additions to the downtown street vendor scene. Opened just this Thursday October 21st, they are located on the corner of Granville and Robson, across from future shop. It is open Tuesday to Saturdays.

The offerings:
Salmon Burger $8
Fried Oysters Po-boy $10
Venison burger $9
add fries for $2
add poutine for $3

We ordered the venison burger with poutine.




The burger is fresh grilled and served on a whole wheat bun. Perfectly seasoned and the patty is juicy when we bite into it. The burger holds together well and is served with some lettuce.

The poutine. Loved the chantrelles and fresh cheese curds. The gravy was thick but not overly salty.

What we like:
  • fresh chantrelles on the poutine. This is a winner. The poutine by itself is a good bargain at $5. These will definitely sell given the cold weather.
  • Burger bun is firm so that it does not fall apart when you eat it, venison is juicy, flavorful but not gamey.
  • High quality ingredients is definitely worth trying once.
What we did not like:
  • Spending $12 for a burger and fries. Given that we are standing on the corner of a street, paying close to $10 for the burger, not including fries, is just a bit steep.
  • There are comparable food choices such as Japadog and Viet Sub just a block away that charges at least $2-$3 less and offers seating for patrons.
