Supporting local is huge for us and we were happy to find Satellite Seafoods…read more The fresh fish is incredible, sadly the man behind the counter is absolutely horrible to deal with and we have had him serve us 3 times over the last year. He has the worst attitude and miserable disposition we have ever experienced in customer service, his attitude is why we most likely won't return for a 4th visit and more. This needs to be addressed by the owner, other reviews have mentioned the horrible service from this employee.

Very nice selections of meat. Very expensive but worth the price for the quality…read more The bad... Don't expect to be acknowledged or greeted. The staff ignore you. Even after waiting and asking for help, they say they are busy. Obviously, not a service oriented business. This has happened twice so it's not an occasional occurrence. We spent well over $80 in total so I'm surprised they wouldn't be more amicable.

Would prefer the rice to be like rice, not mixed into together in a sauce. Excellent service. My wife had the scallops (2) on pork belly.

This is the second time we stopped here for breakfast on our way from Victoria Island to Vancouver…read more We ordered breakfast then picked up some bakery items for the ferry ride and trip to Vancouver. It's a cute little restaurant/bakery/store before catching the ferry to or from Vancouver. The smashed baked potatoes are crispy and nicely seasoned. They had gf bread to accompany my eggs and bacon. At the bakery we purchased a couple gf cookies and a couple of regular ones. The lemon gf cookie was delicious ~ soft and lemony.

Made a quick pit stop to The Roost Farm Bakery & Vineyard…read more Tasting is $5.00/person for four 1oz pours or $15.00 for 3oz pours. Fee is waived with a purchase of a wine bottle. At least you can pick which wines you want to try. Wine bottles are $16.00 to $30.00. - Tasting ($5.00) - big red rooster, petillant naturel, highland bramble and sweet ginger. Best of the four was the pet-nat. Ginger port was decent. Did not like the big red rooster or the highland bramble (unrefined, rough, needed to be airated). Seems the older folk come here for the bistro's sandwiches. Wouldn't go out of the way to visit.

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.

We are hooked on stopping in the morning for fresh-made sandwiches, drinks, chips, snacks, and desserts to take along for our day vacationing on the island. The sandwich counter is amazing with giant wraps being made while customers happily wait in line to get them. The store has a great selection of pre-made and packaged sandwiches, desserts, sweetbreads... to grab if you are in a hurry. You will find all of the items you would at a small grocery store here. Most of the other shoppers seem to be locals who were fun to visit with as well as giving some great ideas of places to visit. :)
