I don't think it really matters which you do first but if you do Granville Is. in the morning that would allow you to have lunch in food court in public market on the island. A good family type dinner can be enjoyed at the White Spot on W. Georgia & Chilco St. just a couple of blocks from the entrance to Stanley Park. If we knew where you were staying and the ages of your children we likely could come with some other ideas for dinner.
My children are 16 and 12 and are well-rounded eaters. We will have my 74 year-old mother with us as well, and so I do not want to have to walk too far. She is quite able to walk a half mile or so at a time though. Thank you for your input.

First thank you to all who post such great information on this thread. My family and I will be in Vancouver for one day pre cruise in a few weeks. I have a couple of questions. We plan to visit both Stanley Park and Granville Island. Is one better than the other to do in the first half of day versus the afternoon? Also, any lunch and/or dinner recommendations for each location? We like any type of food. We would prefer a fairly inexpensive lunch. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello,
We just spent yesterday afternoon and evening on Granville Island. It was a wonderful way to spend time. The shops carry unique, often hand-crafted items, and the public food market is wonderful. We had a fabulous dinner at The Sandbar restaurant. I would make reservations. There are a number of tables with nice views of the water. My husband's swordfish was cooked perfectly. And my twelve year old daughter ordered delicious-looking macaroni and cheese followed by an amazing chocolate pudding for dessert. When she was finished, she leaned back in her chair and proclaimed, "I love this place." Enjoy your time there!
