This is gourmet butcher slash sandwich counter slash place that also sells high end Portuguese canned sardines and Italian Roma tomatoes.
The meats are top notch but on the pricier side. 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. read more
