Parthenon Supermarket - Vancouver, British Columbia

New post: Saturday, June 15th I am becoming increasingly disappointed in Parthenon. The posts below are from last winter, November and December 2023. Fast forward to June 2024 and another negative experience. Went in for a sandwich today. I asked for it to be heated and cut in half. It was over ... heated and most of the chicken was falling out of the sandwich. Instead of making sure it was intact, it was just placed in a bag falling apart. I basically had to eat most of it with my hands. Just seems no one gives a damn anymore. I told the woman it was falling apart and she just looked at me perplexed. I’m getting to the point where I just don’t want to show at Parthenon anymore. This is one of my favourite places to shop & I shop there quite often. I so dislike their new checkout area. It is horrible. I feel for the staff who have to work there now with the cold weather upon us. With that door opening and closing they are going to be freezing. They need to come up with a better plan/layout. Providing hoodies is not going to cut it. Their legs will be freezing. Mine were today as the door kept opening and closing. People use that door to enter the store as well as leaving the store. There are often 2 lines to check out too. Today the gal that served me was cleaning, didn’t change her gloves and wash her hands, and after she handed my food over in its container, she proceeded to wipe her nose with her hand and didn’t change her gloves. A couple of weeks ago I purchased bread that had bugs crawling around inside the plastic wrap. Some days I’m not impressed with shopping there. Some days it all depends on who is working. It’s just not as up to par as it used to be. Today Dec 13: new post How hard can it be? I would like very thinly sliced Tuscany ham. You get home and it’s thick sliced. They were looking at you when you asked. So frustrating. Read more

Cute market in kits, right in the heart of Greektown. Spontaneously went in and tried a breakfast pita wrap. It was delicious, fresh and filling for a good price. Lots of other prepared deli and grocery items too. The service was friendly and the inside felt spacious, airy and bright. ... Some outdoor tables as well. Read more

I had my eye on the spanakopita but I may be still hungry after that. Asked the server if I can make it a combo. The server suggested to make it a plate with Greek salad and tzatziki. The spanakopita filling was not warm but the phyllo pastry on the ... outside remain crispy eve when I cut on it. Very good. The dinning area can be crowded during peak time. Read more

Quaint Greek deli with a varied selection of groceries from the old continent. As of May 1st, 2019 they moved to a brand new location immediately accross the street from their old store. Much brighter and seemingly more spacious, it's very inviting now. Otherwise, their very nice selection of cold ... meats, cheese, olives, spices and other European items, makes Parthenon Market a destination in West side Vancouver. Try their prepared foods for take-out, or eat right there. Prices are competitive; customer service, diligent Read more
