The Very Good Butchers - Victoria

The service is awesome, location is alright (it’s like eating in a cafeteria) but the concept is amazing. The food is sooo delicious, if you’re craving greasy junk food. The pickle rick burger is my fav and the poutine is the best I’ve ever had. Well done guys.

Very good charcuterie box: I’ve reviewed VGB 's on site food in years past, but during the recent lockdown I ordered (for pickup their Deluxe Charcuterie Box, which includes several of their meats as well as two of The Cultured Nut’s cheeses. (July 2020: this box is not currently available. Too bad. I liked the combination of meats and cheeses. My order was ready for pickup sooner than expected. I thawed one item at a time from the freezer, and the Box lasted me many weeks. I especially enjoyed the Ribz. The Pepperoni was good on pizza and in a sandwich. The Smokin’ Bangers have a nice nip to them once they were warmed in a lightly oiled pan, I enjoyed them in a sausage sandwich as well as chopped into a (tofu scramble. I might have preferred the Bacon to come thinly sliced, but it tasted good with my breakfast. My least favourite item was the Deli Fowl, but it was still good in a sandwich with mayo and lettuce. Both soft cheeses from The Cultured Nut were good (and their butter is every bit as good as non local Miyoko’s . I’m glad to see VGB’s products appearing in local (Victoria BC grocery stores and at Zero Waste Emporium. Older review: We butcher beans. I was eager to try a burger by VG Butchers, and it didn 't disappoint! I had the delicious Smokin ' Burger, which has chopped avocado, red pepper, spinach leaves and cheeze topped patty on a good bun. Loved it! I 've brought home a package of their Very Good burger patties. I 'll be back as soon as possible to try their Reuben sandwich and hot dog. We 're very lucky in Victoria to have a vegan outlet like this. Perfect location right inside the front door of the Market.

Love their products to go, as well as the hot items the BBQ plate with chik’n is a great way to try a couple sides too the Mac and cheese is great. Unfortunately the quality can be pretty hit and miss, so don’t write it off if you have a bad experience?

This place is awesome! Love the products they sell!

We ordered the poutine, pickle Rick burger, and the eggs benny. The food was fantastic and very quick to be delivered. The poutine was out of this world delicious!!!! Both the Benny and burger were excellent as well. 100% recommend!
