Old City Cheese & Market

Gourmet Market

Old City Cheese & Market is a specialty cheese shop and market tucked into Nanaimo's historic Old City Quarter. Carrying on the legacy of the 33-year-old neighborhood institution, the shop has evolved into one of Vancouver Island's largest cheese shops, offering artisanal cheese, global pantry items, and locally sourced delicacies.

At the heart of the shop is a wide array of global and local artisanal cheese alongside cured meats, terrines, and pâtés. The shelves are stocked with global pantry essentials, from fine olive oils and vinegars to imported tinned fish and seafood, Asian sauces and pastes, and honey and jam. There's also an eclectic mix of spices, pastas and crackers, and local Vancouver Island products, with plenty of gluten-free options. The fridge case also holds fresh dairy options including milk and butter, along with prepared items like sausage rolls, pies, and take-home pastas. At the front, you'll find a small cafe counter serving coffee alongside grab-and-go sandwiches and pastries.
