About SF Greek Market
Specialty food shops fill the gaps a supermarket leaves, and the olives, the feta, the good oil and the tinned and dried things a Greek recipe quietly assumes are exactly the sort of gap in question. SF Greek Market keeps an address at 324 Main Street in the commercial core of Penticton, a short walk from the water at the north end of town.
Small grocers of this kind reward treating the visit as a conversation rather than a shelf hunt. Stock shifts with what has arrived, and the person behind the counter is generally the fastest route to what you need, including the substitution that will work when something has not come in. Many shops in this line also do prepared food to take away at midday, and some carry frozen items, bread or pastries alongside the dry goods, so it is worth asking what else is made or brought in.
If you are cooking for a crowd, ask about ordering ahead: quantities of cheese, meat cut to order, or a case of something are usually easier arranged with a few days of notice than found on the shelf. The downtown location suits a walking errand, and parking here is easy by big-city standards. Independent shops in a seasonal town often keep a different pattern in January than in July, so check before making a special trip in from Summerland or Kaleden.
