Boucherie Viandal

You know you're having a "Verdun" moment when you walk into a butcher shop owned by expatriate continental Frenchman (as in from France) that not only specialized in French, continental, and American cuts but also ASIAN cuts as well and the friendly staff there break out into perfect French, English or Korean at any given time.

Seriously, the best, thickest cuts of bacon I've ever seen, freshest lamb shanks ever, great made-on-the-premises sausages. If you are a carnivore or happily-content omnivore, you will have died and gone to heaven when you walk in here.

Staff are super-friendly and helpful and the place is meticulously clean. Prices are also very,very reasonable given the quality of meat here. Every neighbourhood should be so lucky to have a great butcher shop like Le Viandal.

Couldn't give this place anything less than 5 stars, especially since everyone else gave it that too! We ordered filet mignon, pork belly, and even shabu shabu (korean thin cut meat) and it's always restaurant quality. Great value for what you pay, and considering that Maxi and Metro are charging pretty much the same for their 'top quality' cuts you always win.. :)

Guess who finally found a butcher shop in Verdun, Qc? Yes yes yes I did. And I immediately went for my preferred steak, the KING of steaks, a Rib Eye steak, perfectly marbled, and once I seared that baby, it was easily in my top 10 steaks of all time. We're talkin' some seriously good steak here and at $6.50 for 10oz. we're talking some seriously cheap eats that turn out better than restaurant fair. I also purchased some onsite handmade sausage that looks just wonderfull.

But since I was simply walking by and discovered this, from what I hear, Verdun institution I didn't have anything in mind. But the possibilities in this meatopolis are seemingly endless. I saw every possible cut of beef, veal, pork, venison, and delicious duck. They also have prepared meals and other tasty goodies for meat lovers. Seriously there is no hope for me now that I have a serious meat shop just around the corner (sorta).

The service was great, helpful and friendly.

Butchery is a dying art and anyone with a love of food should support their local butchers. Keep in mind that if you buy steak at your local chain store supper market is cheap quality, often very badly butchered and overpriced, while a butcher has a deeper appreciation and respect for meat. You don't have to eat offal to be a meat lover, enjoying a good quality steak is sufficient and reason enough to bypass the chain store and go support your local butcher, local fishmonger and local whatever. Make friends with the owner and you'll see the good stuff that comes from this relationship. It's like going to a bar, if you're a good tipper, by the end of the night, your drinks are free.

Hello!

I recently moved to Verdun and was very please with Viandal. I use to live in the Plateau where I had many great choice for high quality meat products so I have become accustom to eating well. They have a great selection of quality meat at a great prices. The people who work there are very polite and knowledgeable about the products they sell.

However, an issue that seems to be overlooked by most people who made comments is that the store has very bad opening hours. If you a professional who works the typical 9:00 to 6:00 this store is closed to you Monday to Friday. As the store has such bad opening hours I'm often relegated to going to the Metro which is expensive and not that good. I don't understand who shops at Viandal Monday to Friday. Maybe Verdun has a very has a large population of people who work off hours and house wives (husbands) that can go during work hours.

Hopefully the issue of the 1960 style opening hours will change so I can finally have some quality meats and good prices. If it wasn't for this issue most of my meat based suppers would be with Viandal meat.

these guys don't fool around
if you like beef ribs or classic french cuts they have it all and can custom cut for you re needs. Also heard they cater to lots of high end restaurants.
If you live across town, you should do the detour and you won't regret it.
I know my meets, these guys are the real deal.

Went to Viandal because of the high rating it received on Yelp. I requested a specific meat and cut from the butcher and the service was exceptional and very friendly. The meat itself was fantastic and very fresh. My wife who is very picky with her meats kept on repeating how fresh the meat looked and smelled.

I plan on returning quite often in the next few weeks during the holiday season so I may purchased similar quality meats for my holiday dinners.
