| - This tiny store is located in Bow Valley, off the second street entrance. I was lucky enough to get there before a huge lunch crowd swarmed behind me. The menu is small but it all looked delicious. I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich, side superfood salad and a small coffee.
For $4.00 the salad which lists ingredients like roasted cauliflower, sunflower seeds and baby kale, was a bit sparse. It was a small portion and had more Parmesan cheese than anything. On the positive side, it was fresh.
The size of the sandwich was substantial, the bread was soft, white and melt in your mouth and they stuffed a lot of tender meat inside. My issue was that there was waaaaay too much allspice flavour added and it didn't taste like jerk chicken at all. Also there was hardly any mango salsa inside, which made the allspice that much more noticeable. Seeing how popular this place is, I'm sure
Butcher and baker will thrive. Despite my mixed feelings about the meal, it's obvious that it is trying hard to prepare quality food for the downtown crowd, and if I'm in the area again, I will definitely give it another try.
