The Best Butcher Shops for your next Barbecue

Quebecers love all things grilled! Summer and winter alike, die-hard pitmasters will do anything to indulge in their fiery passion. So where are the best butchers to buy meat for barbecue season?

For them, and for the more casual barbecue chef, we’ve put together a list of Montréal butcher shops with a great selection for any grilling party. They all work hard to offer carefully prepared products of the highest quality. All you have to do is get the cuts home and fire up the BBQ. From skewers to steaks, sausages and more, the options are endless! 

In Europe, no errands are complete without a stop at the butcher. Here, in Canada, we tend to buy things in large quantities in grocery and big-box stores. Still, we’d all benefit from a more European mindset, since it’s synonymous with high quality products and more ethical consumption choices. Independent butchers work very closely with small local producers, who practice more sustainable farming. In the same way, butchers aim to use the entire animal, nose to tail. There’s no better to way to support the local economy and make ethical choices than by trusting your local butcher. 

Here are our favourite butcher shops that offer great cuts to put on the barbecue this summer.
