This review is purely about the butcher portion of the shop. I was told about my place by my…read morebrother who recommended to skip the meat shops in major supermarkets because who knows how they try to cut corners. This is a wonderful place to buy meat, from chicken, pork, beef and sausages. They even have pre-made sandwiches, shepards pie and chicken pot pie. You might sometimes pay a little more but I think the quality is worth it.

Came here on a Thursday afternoon for their burger and beer $15 special. I opted to not get a beer…read moresince it was early afternoon and they were able to accommodate. I got the burger without a bun, on lettuce and well done all for $11 (plus tax). It was by far the BEST smash burger I've ever had!!! We sat outside on their covered and heated patio which is also dog friendly. The staff asked if my pup wanted a bone which was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. I will for sure be back for another Thursday burger deal again!!!

Sausages are amazing, my kids won't eat supermarket variety anymore. The way meats are vacuum sealed is great for freezing or longer refrigeration. For holidays the ham is amazing quality, and their in house made turkey roll is super easy and delicious.

So, to celebrate his return from Afghanistan, I bought him a Porterhouse that weighs 3.78 lbs. The guy cut it for me, and gave me a bit of a deal so I didn't have to pay $71 for just one steak... So, I'm adding a picture of this gigantic steak, and suggesting you all go their if you enjoy your AAA beef. Honestly, all I buy there is beef, never tried anything else they stock.

A lot has changed since the last reviews! The meats are very…read moretough and not so fresh for the prices they charge! The employees act as if you're bothering them and make you feel rushed and uncomfortable--and that was the most important thing. Friends had warned me about the tough meat and bad service but I had to try it out for myself. They were right.

I love a meat market especially when it isn't part of the bar scene…read more Local sustainable is the way to go and the Meat Market knows how to play to this movement. Their product is top of the line. You walk in there and the meat options are endless! I have never scene so much bacon in my life. I am a huge lover of bacon and this was the perfect spot. The staff is very knowledgeable about their cuts of meat and when they are uncertain they will call an expert from the back. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm from the staff. They answered all my silly questions and knew how to dig information out of me to understand what I wanted in meat so they could provide the best product. I have yet to enjoy their prepared foods but one day I am going to make a meal out of it. They have somosas, kebabs, sweet spud fries etc. This is one amazing market and it appears the island has embraced it as well. If you find yourself coming to the island and needing supplies you will do yourself a disservice if you don't stop by the Cowichan Valley Meat Market.

This gem is known for its authentic Italian fine foods, premium meats, and gourmet deli selection. We love shopping at Cioffi for their quality, freshness, and tradition, especially their fresh cuts from the butcher, grab-and-go meals, and premium gourmet products. All in one stop! Best Italian Meat Market!

I stumbled upon this poultry shop upon picking up something for mom at the public market. And if it…read moreweren't for big hog meat that's being sliced into various parts that caught my eye I may have passed by obliviously. The pricing is very economical and would even silence my picky grandmother. Perhaps because it is family owned and in a not so busy market place. It offers three categories of products: the regular butcher stuff, sliced and ready to go plates of beef lamb pork etc for hot pot, and marinated sausages and Chinese chacuterie meats. I've only had experience with the regular stuff and I've been very satisfied with the level of quality, service, and price. For instance when I approach the counter the owner is always prompt to greet me and for the pig trotters I always get, he'd give them a further shave and slice them into small pieces for me. I like the variety here and besides the standard burger items, this shop is definitely catered to an Asian kitchen: LongGang free range chicken, duck and chicken feet, various innards, pigs blood, intestine etc. For those into that type of stuff this is good place to find them and for those adventurous chefs open to trying new ingredients, this is a cool stop also. Cheerio!

Absolutely love this place. The staff are wonderful and friendly - and were extremely helpful when…read moreI was trying to determine how big a Christmas turkey I could fit in my oven. This place has the best pasties I've had outside of the UK (on par with ones from the quay in Poole, Dorset - and those were really amazing). I also like to indulge in the many varieties of cookies and sweets you can't find anywhere else - particularly the jammie dodgers. It does cost a bit more to buy here, but the quality of product and service are worth every penny.
