I'm a shopper who should come with a warning sign that reads "You fuck up my meat and I'll fuck up your meat". Witteveen Meats is my go to place for meats when I'm making my Saturday morning grocery run at the SLM. The meat case is absolutely pristine and that is a big selling point for me. Even on the customer side of the glass you'll rarely seem any smudgy finger prints. Meat cleanliness is an important sign and tells me that these are people I want to do business with. It was a frosty Saturday morning when my kindred spirit in meat, Shari M. and I hit up the SLM to stock up on our provisions and meat was one of them. I have been tutoring Shari in the fine art of making Bolognese sauce so she needed her some extra lean ground beef and some lean ground pork. I steered her in the direction of Witteveens which was perfect because it was kitty corner to the table and chairs we had managed to snag while giving some mouth to mouth to an absolutely perfect, juicy and fully loaded back bacon on a bun from the Carousel Bakery. Witteveen Meats is one of the largest, if not, the largest purveyor of meats in the SLM. They sell some beautifully stuff pork loins filled with everything from fresh rosemary to dried fruits. Their French prepped lamb racks are a thing of beauty. Korean short ribs are fucking amazing and only take 3-4 minutes on the 'cue. There is every kind of beef imaginable available on the butcher counter. Price is accordingly scaled....tenderloin, grain fed, Alberta beef, it's all over the place. Yesterday they had strip loins on for 8 bucks a piece. I bought two and turned them in to Beef Strognoff, enough for two meals. I also picked up a fresh air chilled roasting chicken for ten buck which is about to get sodomized with a beer can and strapped to the Weber later today. The best thing about hanging out at Witteveen Meats on a Saturday morning is the chance to have some potty mouth exchanges with Toronto Maple leaf hockey legend and all around bad ass guy, Eddie "Clear the track....here comes" Shack. He had Shari and I just splitting a gut laughing. Meat and laughter together, What a great way to warm up a freezing winter day.

So I walked into the St. Lawrence Market this morning looking for some grass fed beef liver. I was…read moreimmediately drawn to the Witteveen's store by the giant poster that advertised local, organic, antibiotic-free, and grass fed meats. I asked one of the employees if they had any grass fed beef liver, and he said their beef liver was from cows that were grass fed and then topped off with grains to add in some fat. I then asked if he was 100% sure that it was grass fed. He checked with his co-worker who also assured me that it was indeed grass fed. I purchased 1.8 Lbs of liver for $28.62 believing that it was grass fed. Once I returned home, I visited the website of the farm that produces the meat. To my utter disbelief, the farm openly states that their meat is corn-fed. I immediately called Witteveen back and enlightened them on the fact that their meat is NOT grass fed. The responses, as I anticipated were "Oh, we were told it was" and "we didn't know" and "the owner is not in today but you can call back on Monday". Needless to say I retuned the liver to the store and got a full refund. As a goodwill gesture, they offered me free meat to make up for the lie. I politely declined and left the store. I later visited Wittevens website which turned out to be equally misleading. The website suggests that Witteveens is a 5-generation old dutch family run company. It's not. It's owned by a guy named Sainu Kanichirakal - clearly not from Holland. I am ok with the fact that they don't sell grass-fed beef liver (it's very hard to find), but don't BS your customers!

As expected they have good precautionary measures for Covid. The butcher shop is very neat , nice and clean. The meats are separated and placed as per the cuts. They have numerous ready to cook options which are marinated and placed well. Some of the marinated items were Shawarma Chicken, Tandoori , Spicy Tandoori breast etc. Barbecue / grill is super easy when all you had to do was to buy the meet abs straight into the heat. I ordered for some goat and the staff was friendly and professional enough to greet me first and checked with me on the size and the type of cut I wanted. The meat was well packed and handed to me . The price however did look on the higher side . They sold a lot of add on items which are used for cleaning and cooking the meat. This place is definitely worth a try. I am sure you will like this Butcher shop.

If you have a dog, well they have very nice bone marrow bones for your fur baby. Just pop in and see what may appeal to you. As I said, the staff is very helpful here.

These people have very questionable business practices. I just read a review that accused them of…read moremisusing copyrighted material on their website. I was in there at the beginning of the month and I purchased some steaks, a haggis and some other items. I called them back to order a 5 pound haggis. They were unable to get what I wanted and when I reminded them of our previous conversations where I told them that five individual haggis's were not acceptable because I needed a single haggis as a part of a Funeral ceremony they simply pulled up my past sale data and used the credit card information to process an unauthorized transaction?? Who does that? My family is trying to get ready for my Mother's Funeral this Saturday. I have no haggis, and a charge on my card. So on top of all of the arrangements that I've been dealing with this week I had to reach out to MasterCard and cancel my card for fear of further unauthorized transactions. Stealing people's copyrighted material is completely disrespectful, however putting through unauthorized charges while a family is trying to get ready for a funeral is despicable. As a consumer please keep in mind If a merchant tries to push a charge through just because they have your card on file from the past, but there was no new agreement or order, it's not valid, and you're absolutely within your rights to dispute the charge and demand a reversal. My advice...pay cash if you are shopping at The Meat Merchant but honestly the steaks at Costco are better and cheaper, and if you need haggis go to McComish's Wee British Shoppe in Orillia. The owner is an absolutely lovely chap and his steak and kidney pie is absolutely the best that I have had this side of the pond.

They have a tremendous amount of really nice looking meets everything from steaks to chops to chicken - you name it. In particular I was looking to make a meatloaf and so they had a special on ground steak. 3 pounds for $15. We grabbed it up. And I believe they actually were a little more on the generous side in terms of weight. Fast friendly service and we made up the meatloaf and it was awesome. Totally will be coming back here I saw some really outstanding looking steaks that I think I will pick up next time. So don't be afraid to try this vendor. They have great meat.

I've typically always been a fan of the spaducci sticks from from Vincentina meats but over the years, I've noticed that the size and quality have been decreasing while the price has been increasing.

Bonanza can do it! The spaducci we got were easily double the size what I'm used to, and the lamb we perfectly marbled so I know when I eat these in about 6 hours they are going to be juicy, hot and delicious!

We have tried a few places in and around Markham that sell Wagyu, but non of them blew us away. I decided to do a random search for Japanese Butchers and Wagyu and came across FãMu Inc. which is listed as "The only Japanese Butcher in Ontario". FãMu is the Japanese pronunciation of farm. They are all about animals that are pasture or free-run, raised without chemicals, antibiotics, hormones or animal bi-products. Located in J Town, an indoor/outdoor mall of Japanese businesses located On Steeles Avenue E near Woodbine in Markham. (LOVED the shops at J Town!!). We have had several great experiences with this shop since our first visit 9 months ago. Everyone in shop is very helpful and knowledgeable about all of the cuts they sell. Our first try of FãMu we purchased the A5 Wagyu Miyazaki Striploin. BBQ'd on the grill for 2 min on each side (as per the butchers recommendation), the cuts were bbq'd to perfection and just melted in our mouths. I have never eaten a steak anywhere that was so perfectly marbled and so tender. I would say it was easily one of the best steaks I have ever had! The next would be the Australian Wagyu Ribeye we picked up (15oz cuts). A little on the pricey side, but WOW, you get what you pay for and no better way to indulge in a perfect steak bbq. Some of the cuts of Japanese Wagyu they sell are: Kobe - A5 Kuromame Nagi - A5 Furano - A5 Miyazaki (Miyazakigyu)- A5 Hokkaido (Tokachi) - A5 Various Regions Of Japan - A4 Plus ~ Australian Wagyu, US Wagyu, Chicken, Berkshire Pork, Wagyu burgers and Wagyu slices for Sukiyaki Hot Pots and more! During 2 of our recent visits we also tried their Double Wagyu Beef Bowl. Thinly sliced pieces of Wagyu seasoned with in store made terriyaki/soy sauce over a bed of steamed rice. Small portion for the cost, but filling and THE most tender beef bowl you will ever try! Not sure about which cut to try, visit their website and you can get detailed info on each cut, you can also stop in and ask or order online. In shop everyone is very warm, friendly and happy to help if you have any questions.
