About A la Mode

A la Mode, located in Granville Island Public Market, is known for its specialty in ready-made soups and pies with handmade crust "bowls." The French Onion soup remains a popular choice, featuring a flaky, buttery crust that conceals salty, cheesy, onion-y goodness. The chicken pot pie impresses with its massive, flaky, buttery pastry crust, filled with a creamy mixture of chicken and vegetables, and has received praise for its giant chunks of chicken and mushrooms. The clam chowder has received mixed reviews; while some enjoy its crispy pastry and rich flavor, others find it too salty and overpriced, but many customers have shared their favorite clam hot pie. A la Mode's hot chocolate is particularly enjoyed, especially the rich version with hints of yuzu, although some find the frosting too sweet. Seating can be limited, and the place can be busy, but visits during weekdays can offer a more relaxed experience. Despite the crowd, the service remains quick. The beautiful scenery outside, with views of the sea and nearby birds, enhances the atmosphere, making it a must-visit on Granville Island.
