Remember that movie 'Hot Tub Time Machine"? If someone ever decided to make a film called "Poultry…read moreShop Time Machine" then this is the place to film it. 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.

This place is another hidden gem in Verdun. This family-run butcher specializes in beef and…read morechicken, and it's really really good. 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.

The ambience is non existent - no one will ever ask you if you need help (not in French, definitely not in English). Go to a different store, there are many more in the city and even on Wellington that have the same stock.

Wonderful ethnic food shop which specializes in Middle Eastern and Asian (Indian) foodstuffs…read more While it's not that Persian supermarket of greatness, Marche Akhavan, Branche d'Olivier nonetheless has an excellent selection and seems to touch on a little bit of everything from around the world. I've seen Indian curry pastes, chutneys and basmati rice, Mexican mole sauces, Trinidadian scotch bonnet pepper sauces, various Asian cooking oils for stir fries, British brand teas, Turkish bulgar and lavas bread, you'd be very surprised what a slow stroll through the aisles here will get you.

And we shared them half and half. Porcetta was full of moist delicious pork, with just enough fat to bring that deep flavour. Italiano was over flowing with cold cuts and the marinated veg and hot peppers and fresh mozzarella balanced it out perfectly. Also Verdun is a great part of the city to visit. So it's worth the trip (if you don't live there already)

Hidden Gem in verdun !…read more I decided I wanted to make a fancy cheese board and didn't wanna go all the way to Atwater market so I stopped at Copette and came here in hopes of some fois gras.. they didn't have any home made ones but I did find a nice one for 15.99 pre packaged. They have a great selection of meats and veggies and it's nothing outrageous. They have a great cold cuts counter with a bunch of people working so you don't have to wait like you would at the iga counter plus meat wise is not comparable. Awesome spot glad I checked it out I will be back :)

Seriously, the best, thickest cuts of bacon I've ever seen, freshest lamb shanks ever, great made-on-the-premises sausages. If you are a carnivore or happily-content omnivore, you will have died and gone to heaven when you walk in here. Staff are super-friendly and helpful and the place is meticulously clean. Prices are also very,very reasonable given the quality of meat here. Every neighbourhood should be so lucky to have a great butcher shop like Le Viandal.

Guess who finally found a butcher shop in Verdun, Qc? Yes yes yes I did. And I immediately went for…read moremy preferred steak, the KING of steaks, a Rib Eye steak, perfectly marbled, and once I seared that baby, it was easily in my top 10 steaks of all time. We're talkin' some seriously good steak here and at $6.50 for 10oz. we're talking some seriously cheap eats that turn out better than restaurant fair. I also purchased some onsite handmade sausage that looks just wonderfull. But since I was simply walking by and discovered this, from what I hear, Verdun institution I didn't have anything in mind. But the possibilities in this meatopolis are seemingly endless. I saw every possible cut of beef, veal, pork, venison, and delicious duck. They also have prepared meals and other tasty goodies for meat lovers. Seriously there is no hope for me now that I have a serious meat shop just around the corner (sorta). The service was great, helpful and friendly. Butchery is a dying art and anyone with a love of food should support their local butchers. Keep in mind that if you buy steak at your local chain store supper market is cheap quality, often very badly butchered and overpriced, while a butcher has a deeper appreciation and respect for meat. You don't have to eat offal to be a meat lover, enjoying a good quality steak is sufficient and reason enough to bypass the chain store and go support your local butcher, local fishmonger and local whatever. Make friends with the owner and you'll see the good stuff that comes from this relationship. It's like going to a bar, if you're a good tipper, by the end of the night, your drinks are free.

It's good to take note of their weekly specials and plan your meals accordingly. Yesterday I tried out a few of their sit down items like their steak tartare and French fries. Not bad at all but the tartare was lacking something and I don't think it would hurt if they offered more toasted baguette points for the tartare. Fries were fine. Decor is gentrified vintage shabby chic. Mismatching grommetted chairs, Formica tables , and vintage glassware in display and for sale. You don't come here everyday but it hit me how much Verdun has changed since I moved here. Before Verdun Beef, it was an Italian sandwich counter that also had amazing gelato. Before that, it was the old Cafe Baobab and before that it was one of the last secondhand English bookstores in the Southwest. It's kind of sad that the old Verdun is quickly disappearing.

Which was punctuated by a one page…read moreopening special flyer, which I also realized showed items I quickly noted were some of their main offerings: affordable produce and a Halal meat counter. It's one of those places that could bring extra value to your budget and a place where you might walk in for one thing and then grab a bunch of other things that weren't on your list, but catch your eye. For example they had a large bag of fresh bread rolls for 2.49 and also nice looking mini croissants and pitas. There are a bunch of shelves to one side with a bunch of shelf staple goods, canned goods and Middle Eastern/Mediterranean products. Many things that would have been potentially tasty, but this was just a fast and unexpected visit. They also have a selection of prepackaged veggies like a bunch of sweet peppers into 'value packs'. Another notable thing is that it's all laid out in a compact one room space, so it gets high marks for convenience. I already mentioned it, but one thing that's a real highlight is the value, so bring empty bags.

Prices are slightly higher than the bigger Korean supermarkets (like Galleria or HMart in Toronto), but comparable to other Japanese supermarkets that I've been to. The stores are clean and well lit.
