The owner, Patrick Loyau, owner of this butcher shop in the Jean-Talon market, knows how to make a business succeed. He bought the premises on rue Mozart in 1994, at the age of 24. When he opened the store, he was not yet a butcher.... his employees taught him everything....so hiring the right people is always the best strategy for a good enterprise. For nearly 20 years, this small butcher's shop has many loyal customers that do not hesitate to weave their way between its crowded aisles in exchange for its quality products (such as its famous marinated flank steak) and the friendly service of its personnel.

Besides the owner being willing to tell you about all his product and make suggestions, the shop is also a shrine to nostalgia and time long-gone. It's a great place (if not "the" place) to go to purchase the best quality beef in a welcoming atmosphere.

I'm giving this place 5 stars because Yelp won't let me give it 10. I'm still not clear on the…read moretranslation of this shop but the first thing to understand is that this is not a butcher shop with all kinds of different meats. It is the workshop of a meat craftsman. It's like going to the creamery where one of the worlds finest cheeses are made, as opposed to a cheese shop. And, if you're lucky you can meet The Godfather of Meat himself, Marc du Bourg. Marc was exceptionally generous with his time and knowledge. I returned to Orlando confident that I now probably know more about dry aging beef than anyone else in Florida, because I learned from the world's leading expert. Nobody else is doing what Marc does, his 1-year and older beef is a delicacy that can only be found here. And if you like meat and have a taste for aged foods then you must experience du Bourg meat. I ended up going twice. The first time I got a double-rib steak of the 120 day beef. Marc gave me careful guidance on how to prepare it. His technique is simple but works exceptionally well, and it really highlights what makes this meat special. So, if you are buying his good stuff then get the instructions and follow them. Keep the prep simple, you want to let the meat be center stage. It is intensely beefy, rich, and soft. Wonderful. The second time I went I got a small sample of the 180 day beef. It was even more intense on the flavor, with a bit of a blue cheese funk in the background (which I loved). It is an exceptionally elite ingredient. I think on my next visit I might venture to the exotic 1 year (or longer). It's expensive, but as a foodie it will be worth it to me to experience something so exclusive, sold to me by the artist who designed the technique and trimmed my steak to order. If you like dry aged beef and you have the means, you must go to meet The Godfather. You won't regret it.

After brushing him aside, I looked at the wall of dried sausages hoping to spot my prize. I wanted to bring home a nice selection on the plane home to Vancouver. Wait! What the??? again. Staring back at me was a nice coating of blue mold around one of the ends of the sausages. Au Revoir!

As others have said, they also make sandwiches to go, which one can choose to eat at their little parcel shelf next to the door. The appeal of this place for me, though, is the partially-smoked and cured pork shoulder rolls they keep in the small cold case along the back wall. They're not even labelled, so you may have to ask to be pointed at them. But do ask. One of those balls of meat, simmered in a cauldron of water for 150 minutes, yields both the most densely-flavored, tastiest cold pork you'll ever put on your sideboard, and a pot of truly magnificent stock for your next pea or white bean soup. They also sell a couple of different varieties of bacon, in slabs if you wish. And there is no question too stupid for the bright lady in the baseball hat behind the cash. This is another of those little places that makes cooking my way through a Montreal winter into something I almost look forward to in summer.

That is, if you're willing to wait about 15 minutes or so you can get served some genuinely tasty sandwiches right in front of you during lunch/supper. There's a variety of meat, mostly tending on the middle eastern type of cuts of meat and marinades (shish-taouk, shawma, kebbe, etc.) but pretty much anything you want can be available. Supporting these smaller business is important as they are the lifeblood of the local economy. The staff was friendly and cost very reasonable. Give it a try, it's worth your time... also get dinner at the same time. :)

Seriously, walking in I suddenly felt like I was transported to the food shops I used to go to with my mom back in the 1970s as a kid in small-town Quebec. With Montreal Canadians and vintage Quebecois memorabilia, it's really not hard to imagine what a real Mom and Pop stores on Main Street used to look like before giant supermarkets and mega stores drove them out of business. This place has absolutely everything to address your poultry needs and then some. The chickens are all grain-fed and sourced locally in Quebec. I haven't tried the sausages yet but they sure looked tempting. You'll get the same quality of meat here as you would as more expensive locations at Atwater Market or Jean Talon Market - minus the insane markups. I'm glad Verdun still has many shops like these.

It's decked out with random memorabilia, and the window features a different record label (and quote) each week - this has got to be the butcher with the most character in the province! My favourite thing to get from here is the bambi (cerf) sausages - I can't recommend them enough! They have a wide selection of home-made sausages, and all the ones I've tried have been great. The chicken they sell is grain feed and from Quebec, so it's the good stuff. They also have a selection of cheeses and pates, which are nice to round-out a meal. Another thing I like to go there for is their marinated steaks, all of which are good (my favourite is the spicey one). They also have minced horse meat, which is great for burgers. If you're in the neighbourhood or live not to far, and want fantastic quality meats, then you need to come here.
