Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

The employees act as if you're bothering them and make you feel rushed and uncomfortable--and that was the most important thing.

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.

I had beef brisket sandwich with coleslaw on the side and it was heavenly (copying from another Yelper's review of this place). I devoured my meal in 5 minutes. My friends copied each other and ordered hamburgers With grilled pineapple. They were as pleased as I was! We kept asking ourselves why we haven't done this before. We were blaming each other. This place is an authentic slice of what Vancouver food scene is all about, fresh, fun, fancy yet down to earth, lively and tasteful. The service was delightful. I didn't check if they have desserts. Maybe gelato will Be a welcome addition. Paging the Hopcott siblings (yes we read your family history). We salute all of you and what you do to our community.
