Ottawa Foodies

My first stop in this Bells Corners food place saw me eat a smoked meat sandwich and take home a pork egg roll, a sausage roll and a Jamaican patty. The smoked meat was good mostly for the fresh bread which I think was Rideau Bakery's rye. The meat was your standard machine sliced stuff which I think is Levitt's. Pretty good but it had a slight sweetness that I could not put my finger on. The pork egg roll was the weakest of the bunch with a strange flavour that had to be overridden with a good dose of Siracha. Still ok but not great. The jamaican patty's filling was very tasty with some great allspice flavours. The shell was not your standard yellow flaky crust but tasted much better than it looked even after a quick trip on the carousel. The sausage roll was great! Tasty filling with a great texture and a good flaky pastry. I will go back and try other stuff based on my experience and definitely grab a sausage roll.

I actually just had dinner compliments of The Butchery! I'm in love with their lemon dill chicken breast. Paired with the roast potatoes? Delicious.

I also picked up a small container of the apple turkey meat balls. Which I will probably enjoy tomorrow for dinner. I'm pretty excited about them haha.

The service has been great whenever I am in. The people that work there are helpful and speedy getting you through. I definitely recommend this place to my friends.

They have moved down a few store fronts and now have a counter for buying burgers ($5.99) fries ($1.49) and sandwiches, etc. with a few chairs. Their famous Vera burgers. Will have to try soon.

Did buy some of their eggrolls (cold)~reheat at home), the man of the house loved them, the lady not so much. One was chicken, the other was pork. .97cents each. Will have to try their burger soon.

Just been to the Butchery and it was heaving, but the service was still quick. It's a pretty big meat & deli staffed by a small army of butchers, some wearing headsets - it's a pretty tightly run ship!

Some of my favourite items :
The home made "Vera's Burger". They are huge and seasoned with amongst other things, parsley, onion & mustard seeds.
The home made sausages.
The Texas beef ribs. A massive rack for under $6.
Steaks (all the usual cuts). I've got a nice looking NY striploin for tonight :)
