Take one look at the mouth-watering meats in the refrigerated glass case and you will find it difficult to choose. One can't find quality like this anywhere else. Belmont Butchery offers a great section of wines and cheese to complement your entrees. There are many great selections and you will definitely be more than satisfied with the high quality, flavor and value of your purchase. The service here is friendly, helpful and consistently sensational! It is important to stop by often so that you don't miss out on some of the unique specialty items (made on site) that are not always available. Liverwurst is my wife's favorite. She said that it takes her back when her grandfather (from Germany) used to make it for her. I noticed that Belmont has a section of exotic meats available. I highly recommend Belmont Butchery! You will love it!

I recently took a sourdough class at Hobby Hill with Sharon and had such a great experience…read more The class was very beginner-friendly and the group size was perfect, about 8 people, which made it feel relaxed and not overwhelming. Sharon provided all the supplies, gave us starter to take home, and we made a loaf during class that we brought home to bake ourselves. What really stood out to me was how supportive she was even after the class. The next morning, Sharon texted to check on how our bread turned out and let us know we could reach out with any questions. That kind of follow-up made a huge difference and gave me the confidence to keep going. I also took the class by myself, and Sharon made the environment feel so welcoming and comfortable from the start. Since taking the class, I've been baking regularly, something I never thought I'd be able to say before! Highly recommend for anyone who's curious about sourdough but feels intimidated.

I have no idea what that means, but they have good sandwiches. What to get: A Prosciutto sandwich with Fresh Mozzarella added, maybe What else: Expect an upcharge to add Fresh Mozz How to improve: Don't upcharge so much for Fresh Mozz (sigh) Nick's is a little run-down grocery store which sort-of feels like walking into a check-cashing shop or an urban convenience store that just happens to have a wonderful old-school NY-NJ style Italian deli inside. The deli itself is great, and makes a lot of awesome sandwiches for decent prices. As I said, I don't like the weird upcharges for certain ingredients, but so be it. It makes the prices of a sandwich soar from decent to ridiculous. The sandwiches aren't altogether authentic Italian NY-NJ style, but they are very good. I loved the parts of it that I had fresh, however when I had the rest of the sandwich a little later it had gotten extremely squidgy and soggy because they use a regular loaf of bread rather than anythng hard or Italian. Again, makes it less authentic but still very tasty. Despite these remarks, I haven't had a sandwich this good in the Richmond area before, so you should give it a try. And if it were Niche Produce, then they'd only sell unusual and hard to get hipster vegetables and sandwiches. Whereas if it wer Nix Produce, it would close down soon. And if it were Knickers Produce then I would have torn them down a lot more quickly and intensely than I did in this review.

I would like to say that I've lived down the road from this place for 7 years and I have slept on…read morethis place hard and if you're reading this, you probably have too. I asked the owners how long they've been here (assuming it was only a few years). This unassuming store has been here for 25 years. I went here on a whim and let me tell you, I will be a frequent customer. This is a hidden gem of a grocery store. Some of the things that caught my eye were: * Imported European butter (high quality butter). * Tons of imported, cured meats * Perogies, meat dumplings, mashed potato dumplings, etc. * A fantastic selection of tasty mustards * Pickled & fermented items such as sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, pepper spreads * A wide variety of tasty jams * Fresh farmer cheeses * Imported Cheeses * Homemade desserts * Homemade, old world, artisan bread * Much more Another person left a comment exclaiming that items here are pricey. I want to share my thoughts and why I think it's 5 stars and not pricey. So, first, I love the salami here. I bought a few kind of Salami but the German Salami is very nice. Now that being said, as of today it's like $20/lb. But, few important things to note. 1) it's Imported from Europe. 2) The richness & complexity of flavor is so much better than your $7.99/lb grocery store chain salami. The flavors are complex and wonderful. It's truly something where you keep wanting more. This is ideal for a charcuterie board or something where you want people to really notice the bold flavors. It is worth the price. Secondly, their homemade desserts are out of this world. I guarantee you that you have had few desserts that are this good. They are unlike the processed junk we get even at nice grocery store bakeries. One bite and you're in heaven. So much so we went back immediately the next day to get more. Third, they are making their own variety of bread loaves. I wish I had gotten a picture but they are as beautiful as they are delicious. This isn't old world bread. Artisan bread. You aren't getting this elsewhere. Overall, the quality of everything is just very good. It's a taste of eastern Europe. It's a treat and a delight. You should do in and try it. You won't be disappointed. Sure, many of the products may be unfamiliar or even written in a language you might not understand. But the staff is friendly and we're glad to answer my questions. As I am sure they will be glad to answer yours. And, honestly, go in and ask them what they recommend. Try thier favorite foods and favorite desserts. I tried their black currant dressert (black currants are not widely available in the US but are delightful) and I never would have if I didn't ask for a recommendation. At minimum, go in and get 1/4lb of cured meats, some dessert, some bread, and why not some mashed potato dumplings (perogies)... You won't be disappointed.

My obsession - the best soft shell sammy on the coast! It's perfectly fried (not too hard, not too light) and the arugula & aioli pair nicely to make this lunch so memorable. Do like I did & find a spot in the water to enjoy. The market, itself, is my favorite - the fishmongers & butchers behind the counter are so kind and boast a wealth of knowledge to answer questions about sourcing, food prep, and pretty much anything you throw their way. I love the expansion they've done since Covid - it gives you so much space to shop, roam, and even pull up a chair & eat.

Our server was there if we needed a refill on our wine, but other than that we were left to catch up for as long as we wanted.
