Prices tend to be on the expensive side especially when buying a prime cut of steak but the meat is top quality, so give them a try. I'm sure you'll be pleased. Also inside is Vera's Burgers. One of the best hamburgers in Ottawa. My buddy Brian and I go there several times a year and enjoy the great food. I'm upset that they stopped selling Coke in the glass bottles. That was a nice touch. Drive out to Bells Corners and enjoy Vera's and the Butchery. Cheers! Zee Mitchell

I just discovered The Butchery. What a revelation!…read more The shop is clean and attractive, with a very long display of many dozens of cuts of meat, many marinated. I bought a marinated flank steak that was amazing on the BBQ tonight. They also carry some great sauces, including my favourite Rufus and Teague Blazing Hot sauce. You can buy frozen pies from The Big Apple, which are the best pies around. They have a burger shack inside....sadly I was too early. Some other time. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the boss a really good man. This was a great discovery and I will happily drive the 25 km to get there. Very highly recommended.

Over the past two years I've been introduced to Lebanese and Italian cuisine thanks to my…read moreboyfriend's families. The best of both worlds I say! Al-Oumara just opened a year ago (I believe) and since then, they've grown from a 2-3 person team to more than 7 people. Although Lebanese food was introduced years ago with the Shwarma food chains, Al-Oumara provides customers with a Schwarma take-out counter, but with more delicious options and platters. A mini grocery store, customers can buy freshly butchered meat, freshly made pre-packed or bulk salads and spreads, desserts, and I've even become acquainted to their beverages including Bonjus that comes in a triangular juice box and Kazouza a sparkling juice drink. I'll never forget the couple of times when they gave me a free dessert on the house or when they gave me pita bread from their bakery because they were sold out on their shelves. A family owned and run business that makes you feel like you're part of the family.

The Piggy Market is a cute little shop in Westboro that sells meats, cheeses, baked goods and…read moreprepared foods. It's definitely boutique-y as opposed to bargain-y if you know what I mean, lol. My husband loves their Jamaican beef patties, which are "homemade" as opposed to the highly processed stuff sold at supermarkets. I personally find them too greasy, but they are very flakey and filled with more meat than any other Jamaican beef patty I've ever seen! Their donuts are just ok, in my opinion, nothing remarkable. If you like European-style potato salads, I think you might like the potato salad at Piggy Market. The potatoes are firmer and it's less mayonnaise-y than North American potato salad. Their prepared meals are good to grab and go, but a bit pricey for what they are, in my opinion. For example, their vegetarian poke bowl is $14.50, which is about the same price as freshly prepared and customizable vegetarian bowls elsewhere. Pricing, aside, the food at Piggy Market is generally tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The shop is on a side street off the main drag. It's right by Winston Square, so when the weather is nice, you can eat at Winston Square. Street parking only.

After years of searching, today I found the ultimate Jamaican-style patties in Ottawa-Gatineau. To…read moreme, The Piggy Market (bakery, deli and craft butcher shop), located in Canada's National Capital Region's Westboro neighbourhood, is making Jamaica proud! Over many, years my Jamaican born family members and I have scoured Ottawa-Gatineau, Miami and Jamaica looking for a Jamaican-style patty that can be described as 'nyam-ing' perfection. The Piggy Market delivers! How do they achieve this? I believe that it's all about their quality ingredients, mouth watering recipes, impactful blend of spices (flavourful heat) and a pastry shell that screams , "I am Jamaica Proud!" Today we visited for the first time and tried the Beef patties and Jerk Chicken patties. We're saving our next visit for Oxtail patties and any other patty menu items that we have yet to try. Every week The Piggy Market highlights a unique specialty patty on their menu. Note to the wise. Call in advance to find out what's available--what's on the patty menu that week.

There's been a lot of hype I've been hearing about a new place in Ottawa-Gatineau region with great…read moresmoked meat. I feel like the journey for great Montreal smoked meat outside of Montreal is like trying to hunt down great authentic Chinese food in town! Le Smoked Meat a Bonnie is in a swank Alymer neighbourhood where a lot of restaurants seem to be popping up...and *cough* around the corner from the Beer King *cough*. It's right on the main strip of Principale and you really can't miss it. There are a few patio tables and chairs outside. When you walk in you'll notice you're in a small space. There's a small counter table you can stand and eat at. We opted to eat outside and ordered a sandwich to go. All sandwiches come with a slice of pickle and coleslaw which was a nice touch. There are 3 size sandwiches you can purchase...I THINK they were 10oz, 8oz and 6oz sandwiches. We opted for the 10oz and I think that was close to $10. The sandwich comes classic with mustard on top. The pickle and coleslaw were solid. The sandwich is alright...not worth all the hype I heard about it but it's really unfair to this place since the ones in Montreal are so fantastic. Though it's nowhere near as good as the sandwiches you can find down the 417, it's probably the best smoked meat sandwich I've had in Ottawa which includes Dunn's, Chenoy's and a handful of other places that are supposed to have good smoked meat. I wouldn't come out of my way to grab a sandwich here but if I was in the hood I might drop in. I would drive to Montreal for a smoked meat sandwich, they're just that good there and I think I realized why I like them so much. The smoked meat in Ottawa comes out like a thick cold cut and the smoked meat in Montreal comes out more like a smoked brisket that falls apart and is amazingly tender. I hope someone in Ottawa puts the time in to replicate this as gas is getting expensive to make the 2 hour drive just for a sandwich.

TLDR: Excellent butchery, market and deli. Tasty sandwiches, cool products and welcoming staff…read more Around The Block Butcher and Market opened up at this location on Feb 21, 2024. Prior to that they were on Cobden Rd (and this space on Centrepointe Dr was the Centrepointe Deli and Shake Shake Bubble Tea). The store sells raw meats, but also so much more. They sell frozen foods, deli meats, sandwiches, baked goods, snacks, and drinks too. On my first visit, I stopped by for a sandwich. Their menu changes daily, but I believe a few items are always available. I got the ATB Club Sandwich ($12.50). It had real pieces of chicken breast, thick cut bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. The default condiment is mayo, but I asked for mustard instead. It comes on a rectangular crusty bread. The sandwich was delicious, but a bit messy to eat, lol. The chicken pieces fell out of the sandwich and the lettuce is shredded, so the lettuce fell out of the sandwich too. Or maybe I'm just a messy eater, haha. My only complaint is that the sandwich was a bit small. I was definitely still hungry afterwards. So on my next visit, I supplemented my sandwich with a soup. I got the Roast Beef Sandwich ($14) and the Short Ribs and Vegetables Soup ($7). I enjoyed the roast beef sandwich less than the club because the sandwich was so oily. I don't know if they brushed the bread with oil but it was dripping oil. The soup was also on the oily side and the meat had pieces of fat and gristle. I enjoyed my first visit much more, so will likely just stick with the club sandwich. I did bring a colleague on my second visit and she got the Deli Trio Sandwich ($12), which she enjoyed. She also got the same soup as I did. They have Wagyu beef jerky! I've never seen that before. They also had lots of interesting brands and flavours of chips that I haven't seen before. They have cool drinks too, like sparkling botanical water from Collective Arts Brewery. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and ensured everyone was served in a timely manner. Free parking available in the shared parking lot with other businesses. (91)

This ain't no corporate store so they take care of you and get you the meat you want, the way you want it! Don't have it in the display, they will get it for ya. I recently asked for a prime rib and was really particular how I wanted it cut etc and they did it perfectly and had it ready for me when I went in. If you're in a rush, they have pre breaded pork schnitzel that you can take home and fry in under 6 minutes and you have yourself a quick dinner. Their pepperettes in the fridge are really nice as well.
