Wow, wow, wow. What a FABULOUS gourmet foodie shop, here in…read morethe heart of Kerrisdale! (Those of you who know me know I don't rave about places often, using caps in my Yelp reviews!). This place is wonderful. I don't get to Kerrisdale as much as I'd like to, so I was somewhat surprised yesterday to stumble upon this Market Meats shop on 41st. A friend who works in the area mentioned that she sometimes gets sandwiches for lunch here, so I decided to check out what ready-made meals they had available. (If my friend hadn't mentioned the sandwiches here, I'd have thought this place simply an upscale butcher/meat shop TBH). Just...wow. The store interior is sharp, modern, with a New York feel (clean white and black palette, open, contemporary deli-aesthetic). I was immediately drawn to the display at the front containing sewers of chicken in delicious-looking sauces and meat ribs in barbecue sauces and other dishes one can purchase and cook in one's homes. Everything looked super fresh and delicious and, yes, homemade. Then I went to the shelves along the wall containing the sandwiches. I was so impressed by the assortment of super-stuffed sandwiches: brisket on rye, smoked turkey, roast beef.... all of which had pickles and gourmet condiments and were on fresh deli breads. Seriously, the kind you'd get in NYC (or any decent deli on the east coast. The kind that Vancouver is seriously lacking in). My kid and I grabbed a Montreal smoked meat sandwich on rye with fresh mustard. (The guy at the cash, who warmly greeted me when I came in and asked if I needed help finding anything, confirmed that this smoked meat indeed came from Montreal - the real deal, from Schwartz's! - and said he makes it a point to get all the meats and fish and most of the foodstuffs here domestically, from across Canada, only the best. I liked that). All sandwiches cost $14.99, so...not cheap. Bur fresh and good and super-stuffed (enough for at least 2 meals for me). The shelves beyond the sandwiches were full of spreads and condiments and rubs and condiments from Canada. I was so happy to see Montreal represented with some Joe Beef rubs and other Montreal products (lox! from my fave Jewish delis back home!). Beautiful cheeses, the likes I've not seen before. Then we got to the seafoods of all sorts, and of course, meats of all sorts. I really liked how the folks behind the counter were really friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about all the foods here: what would be best for whatever type of cook you are, how much to get for what your specific needs are, how to best store and cook it, etc. I would personally be very confident getting foods here as I feel I could trust these folks to help me out (and I'm not the best cook, between us!). I wanted to get a gift for some neighbors who invited me to thier New Years Eve party, and I know these neighbors are real "foodies". I feel I stumbled upon the perfect place to get them a gift! The options were a-plenty here! First I had a beautiful small wheel of cheese and some gourmet fig jam in hand to get them, then I decided instead on a small tin of bougie caviar, then at the cash I saw this beautiful tall jar full of fancy chocolate-marshmallow concoctions which I thought looked very festive, and I settled on that (I had never seen this product before! Unique). So many choices. I realize this is a long review, but it was important to note how this is NOT just a meat shop! It's the best foodie shop, with the most helpful staff! I really encourage you to check out this place if you're in the area!

I walked past here all the time when I had to be in Kerrisdale for a weekly meeting a couple of…read moreyears ago but somehow it never occurred to me to pop in there to check it out. I always thought it was a butcher shop and only fresh meat was sold here. Then I saw a sign outside indicating fried chicken was available. I could not resist fried chicken and just had to check it out. Unfortunately I did not see any fried chicken but I discovered so much more. Besides the fresh meat and seafood and deli meat, there were also ready to serve meals. Lots of condiments and desserts. My excitement was finding ossobuco here! I have not had it in many years and this dish always brought back memories of having it in an Italian restaurant helmed by Italians. The ossobuco rigatoni here was really good. There were lots of chunky meat which just melt in your mouth. Everything in the dish was wonderful. I hope they do have this often as this seemed to be the special of the day then. I also bought the double smoked bacon and it was fresh but super smoky. It actually smoked up my air fryer when I used that to cook and set off the smoke alarm. Note to self: cook bacon in fry pan instead. The limoncello dessert also caught my eye. Hopefully the tiramisu will be in stock the next time I am there. This is a great butcher shop in the Kerrisdale area.

Whether you call it Windsor or Heringer's (Google and Yelp seem to disagree about this), one thing you cannot call this place is lackluster: everything from the quality and cuts of meats and cheeses, to sausages, salads, sauces and sides, is impeccable, mouth-watering, and a tragedy that this shop is a five hour drive (and an international border) away from my house. I'm tempted to book a hotel with a kitchenette for our annual anniversary trip to Steveston, simply to have a reason to slap together a charcuterie board for dinner, and really put this shop through its paces!

Informative and was generous enough to admit not to have a certain item in store, so he recommended a place nearby which did. My strategy is to visit this place first, before filling out the rest of my to-do list with nearby grocers, because the quality is so damn worth it. Great quality of selection for items besides meats as well, such as a decent variety of cheeses and sauces to compliment your dishes. Prices are absolutely fair. Feels nice to support them even if it costs a little more IMO.

I stopped by to get a decent steak…read more My usual go to for steak vary between Windsor, Cioffi's, Tenderland, Armando's and Jackson's, But I was at Raisu a couple of doors away having lunch. so swing by Market Meats to pick something up for later. I was offered a dry aged Canadian Prime Rib steak which I was assured, was the best of the best. Turns out it was the worst dry aged steak I have ever eaten in my life. Gone was the rich, nutty meatiness of a good dry aged steak and instead all I got was the taste and aroma of old dried animal fat. If you've ever had bad prosciutto or Parma ham or even bad Chinese laap cheurng sausage or laap yuk, you'll know the taste. Definitely not what I was excepting for a $110 steak. I used the contact form on their website to report the issues I had and a few days later, there's no reply. Also, I can do without the hard sell sales pitch from the moment you walk in the door. Yes, the sales guy was friendly & nice to my kid, but the hard selling of everything I even took a glance at was a bit too much. Very disappointed indeed. One bonus was that the dog really enjoyed the steak. I fed it to him after 2 bites as I just couldn't palate it. He truly thanks you from the heart of his bottom.
