From the owner: We zullen ons eerst even voorstellen. Wij van Biologische Slagerij Stan Alkemade zijn sinds 1990…read morebegonnen met een biologische slagerij aan het Houtplein 18 in Haarlem. Als pionier merkte we dat er veel behoefte was om te weten wat de oorsprong van het vlees is. We begonnen als Groeneweg, dat was een kleinschalige groep slagers die een samenwerkingsverband hadden met biologische boeren die graag de afzet van biologisch vlees naar de bewuste consument zag gaan. En dit blijft zo. We hebben contact met vaste boeren waar we inkopen en zodoende met constant kwaliteit, gecertificeerd biologisch vlees kunnen waarborgen. De koningshoeve Deze boerderij in Spaarnwoude levert mij Biologische limousine koeien. Deze runderen hebben een prachtige structuur in het vlees en is zacht en vol van smaak. Natuurlijk Genoegen Zij leveren mij het fantastische lamsvlees waar zij als biologisch-dynamische boerenbedrijf in gespecialiseerd zijn. Het bedrijf is gevestigd in Driehuizen en in de Schermer. Waar de lammeren in alle rust en ruimte de tijd krijgen mooi bevleesd en smakelijk te worden. Passiehoender hof Van dit bedrijf komen onze kippen en het is gevestigd in Lelystad. De verwerking vind plaats bij Scheria, die zich gespecialiseerd heeft op de be- en verwerking van kippenvlees...

As another reviewer mentioned, this is truly a budget butcher - but low prices do NOT equal poor…read morequality! When you've exhausted all of the sad meat options available at the last minute at Albert Heijn, come here - they have lots of readily available cuts and ground meats that I have not seen anywhere else in town (except for flank steak - have searched for translations of this to no avail. If someone knows what I should be asking for, let me know!) for ridiculously low prices. It's a small shop that can get crowded at times, but that's probably because the locals are all in on the secret I wish someone told me when I first moved here. I will happily go out of my way to stop by this meat market from now, especially since it's located right around the corner from Ten Katemarkt. This part of town takes my weekly meal prep to the next level!

Good, affordable meats here at Kema Vlees. I walked by here a hundred times before I went inside…read more It's not very large, but they pack a lot of meat in to that space! I was more shocked at the low prices and huge portions. I am not a huge "meat eater" but love chicken (Kip) and some pork. The lekker smell of smoked meats overcome you when you walk in (a good thing). So many choices of smoked meats, sides and anything you want. You could make a full meal and call it your own from the chicken shawarma prepared meals they have here...all you have to do is cook and serve! It is right next to the Ten Kate Markt on the Kinkerstraat....so some competition, but the market (generally) does not have raw meat sold in this capacity. A bit crowded at times...lines form down the street during these Covid-times...but I can't imagine how busy this place would be if there were no restrictions on capacity. A good, friendly place...huge selection. Check it out!

The menu is decently priced, with quality backing it up. Service is quick and easy. There isn't much seating but people come and go, so you won't be waiting long. Super easy to get to and walkable from Amsterdam Centraal!

The guy who made my sandwich was so nice and friendly! Gave us free samples to try to make sure we really liked the meat he was using. We got the sandwich and it was just so simple but was just beautiful. Couldn't even take a photo at that moment. Simple ingredients of the iberico ham, olive oil and tomato and bread. Love it. How could you not come into this place? Literally the best!

Vind je het lekker paarden te eten? Dit is jouw plaats!…read more One of the last remaining horse butchers around. You are literally walking into history in this store because horse meat used to be a primary food source to the lower class in the Netherlands. When I first walked by this store, I thought they used the wrong clip-art for the sign and placed a horse in error of a cow. That wasn't the case. Some thoughts to prepare you: don't think happy thoughts - like black beauty, rocinante, or wild horses running free. Go to the zoo if you need that; this is not the time. Think lekker thoughts - this horse did not die in vain. You are about to embark on a culinary journey that will turn you into a horse-eating monster (in the eyes of some people). Also, make sure you know enough Dutch to place your order. English will not get you far here. They are open some weekdays and Saturday mornings. When you enter, you will be greeted by two lovely dames that will be happy to take your order. You should get as much huisgerookt "paardenwurst" as you can carry. If they have bacon (one of the only non-horse products in the store) - snatch that up fast. The other cuts of meat are extremely lean and a bit gamey (think between beef and venison).

The guys who work there all really friendly and nice and can speak good english. I ordered lam chop and sauage with rosemary and gralic for BBQ The lamb chop is a perfect cut and really nice meat. The small sauage are tasty but not overwhelmed with herbs. Definitely I will cone back here!

My favorite butcher in Amsterdam!…read more Whenever I want to get something special, I go there. But I also go there if I want to get meat for a week dinner :D I love their range of products. They seem to have it all, and the things they do not, you might be very much able to order. You can have goose or duck rillette, homemade boudin noir, boudin blanc with truffles, English breakfast sausages, other types of sausages which names I do not remember, multiple pâtés, mousse du canard...And I haven't even started on the meat. I highly suggest you visit them. They even have pig legs, if you are fan of homemade aspic. The people who work there are super nice, some also have the famous French accent. They speak English and Dutch, so do not fear. You can pay cash or Dutch pin. Speaking of paying - the prices are very good. My only problem is that they are closed on Mondays and Sundays, and they are not open til late. Therefore, if you need something from there plan it well. Otherwise - #meatlessmonday is a trend now ;)

They always have warm grilled sausage cut up to snack on while your waiting to be served. The store has been doubled in size and refurbished (2011?) and there is now a larger selection of deli foods. Two criticisms - The price is as high as the quality An excessive use of packaging (sometimes I feel that there is more packaging than product) - not so eco friendly.

Their premade dishes, which vary on a daily basis, are really delicious too and an easy alternative to take out or a frozen dinner. If you're throwing a party or need a special cut of meat, don't hesitate to talk to them about special orders, they can get you just about everything. Their summer BBQ platters are beautiful, as are their 'gourmet-schotels' for raclette! They do a lot of other catering dishes too, with either meats you can easily prepare at home, or ready made hot dishes. I love their store now too. Some years ago they remodeled it, and it looks beautiful now. Clean, modern, luxurious. Only problem is the price, like another Yelper said: their prices are as high as their quality.

Stopped by Slagerij Dungelmann for a quick snack. I heard their croquette was one of the best, and…read morewanted to try out this traditional Danish snack. The main location was closed on the Saturday that I visited, so I went to the stall they have in the Passage. The service was quick and efficient, and my reliance on English was not a problem at all. One croquette was just under 3 euros, and it was handed to me piping hot. The outside was crispy and crunchy, and the inside was filled with a smooth mixture of what tasted like meat and potatoes. Overall, it was yummy and a good snack! I got it with the sauce they offered, which turned out to be a semi-mild mustard.
