| - Located in the spot previously occupied for decades by the iconic European Meats on Baldwin, this is definitely a notch above your average butcher shop. There are basically four sections to the shop: the butchered meats, the cured meats, the condiments and accessories, and finally the hot table. I have purchased goods from all but the hot table portion, and I can tell you that this place is as good as Cumbrae's, but without the pretention and a little less expensive to boot.
The selection of meats is excellent, though not massive. The focus is on quality, featuring hormone and antibiotic free meats of the highest quality. I have had great success with the pork, beef, lamb, quail, sausages and chicken, and I look forward to trying more.
In the cured section, there are some fabulous artisan salumi, along with some excellent pates and terrines.
There is a section lined with condiments and those hard to find accessories that only a good butcher will have. And don't overlook the freezer where you can find great goods a little lower price.
Definitely worth the prices!
