This was our first visit to Time Out Market at Oakridge, and we had such a great experience!
A huge thank you to Jen Smythe, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming. She took the time to help us out on our first visit and explained the options as it can be a bit overwhelming the first time you go.
We also had a fantastic bartender. I mentioned that I usually love an Aperol Spritz, and he suggested I try something different made with a lemon liqueur — it was absolutely delicious! 🍋🍹
For food, we decided to try Downlow Chicken. We’d never had it before, but now we completely understand why everyone loves it. So yummy!
Great food, great drinks and, most importantly, wonderful service from Jen and the team. Such a fun first experience — we’ll definitely be back!

There’s a distinct rot at the heart of Time Out Market in Oakridge. The entire hall feels sterile - every restaurant’s unique flair and dining atmosphere have been scrubbed away, replaced with corporate wooden veneers and standardized signage. When you strip away the environment that justifies sit-down prices, paying those top-tier rates for a slightly stepped-down version of their food feels completely jarring - especially when you're sat in a chaotic hall with a buzzing pager and a prompt for a 20% tip before you've even taken a bite. They'll even happily sell you overpriced bottled water while keeping basic tap water unadvertised and hidden behind the main bar.
It’s a miserable value proposition. Unless your group is happy to swallow exorbitant prices for a food-court setup, **visit the real, standalone restaurants instead**. This entire setup proves that the "community gathering space" hype was a farce - it’s just ultra-luxe retail designed to siphon cash from anyone who stumbles in, while making the rest of the city feel like trespassing guests.

A little overpriced but the main concern was the level of noise. Everybody's talking over each other with the loud music it gets incredibly chaotic.
Talked to a few friends about this foodcourt and they all had the same experience! The first thing they raised up was how noisy it gets!
With just a keyword search on the google review and the amount of noise complaints it populated back from when it first opened I'm surprised management is still doing nothing with just generic replies.

I was honestly a little starstruck walking in. I never thought Vancouver would have something like this. The vibes were great, with a little band playing on stage on a Sunday evening, and so many different food options to choose from.
[ Wagyu Beef Luc Lac @ Lunch Lady An Choi ]
The wagyu was cooked perfectly with a beautiful smokiness to it. It comes with a huge heap of rice, and not much sauce to go around. The coleslaw on the side was interesting, but overall I felt like the dish could've been a bit more cohesive. Definitely paying a premium for the wagyu. 6.5/10
[ Duck Pappardelle @ Pasta e Basta ]
Really enjoyed this one. Pasta was cooked nicely, the sauce coated it well, and there was a good amount of duck throughout. No complaints here, just a really solid wide pasta dish. 8.5/10
It’s a little steep for the wallet, but I'll likely be coming back to try more of the food here with friends and family.

Beautiful food court and amazing line up of store fronts. However noticable difference in quality and service when comparing original store/cafe to the Oakridge Park version. Most staff we met working the storefront at Time out Market seem unhappy, unhelpful, and/or very inexperienced. I've been to the original restaurants and noticed a slight difference in food quality and quantity for the hot foods. The donuts and pastries are the same.
Special note of under-performance would be the unnecessary nickel-and-dimeing at Beaucoup Cafe and Bakery. It may be saying something when Starbucks has better service than this Beaucoup cafe. The original Beaucoup had much friendlier and fair practices.
