The counter
that the village keeps coming back to.
Edgemont Gourmet Meats is a neighbourhood butcher in Edgemont Village, North Vancouver. This page is an unsolicited draft web design from X9 Lab Media — the photography and footage are stock, to be replaced with the shop's own.
I. The block
It starts before the village is awake.
Every butcher shop has a rhythm, and Edgemont Gourmet Meats keeps an old one. The block is scrubbed clean, the knives come down off the rail, and the first cuts are laid out before the first customer turns the corner into the village.
Nothing here is pre-portioned in a back room a province away. The beef is broken down on the premises, the trim becomes sausage, and what's left becomes the next thing. A butcher's shop wastes nothing and rushes nothing.
“Tell me what you're cooking, and I'll tell you how I'd cut it.”
II. The case
Gourmet, and everyday, side by side.
Dry-aged beef sits beside the weeknight cuts. House charcuterie — pancetta, the cured and air-dried things — gets sliced to order, not pulled from a packet. The case changes through the day as the work gets done.
What's behind the counter
Cut, cured and made on the premises — the way a butcher shop is meant to run.
Dry-aged in house
Aged on the premises and cut thick to order — ribeye, striploin, the cuts worth the wait.
Gourmet & specialty
The everyday and the particular, trimmed and tied by hand for whatever you're cooking.
House charcuterie
Pancetta and air-dried meats made on site, sliced fresh across the counter.
Sausage & ground
Fresh sausage and ground blends made through the day from the shop's own trim.
Roasts & poultry
Centre-of-the-table roasts and whole birds, prepped, tied and oven-ready.
Cut to order
Tell the counter what you're making — the cut, the thickness and the tie come to suit it.
III. The village
A butcher is a neighbourhood thing.
You don't drive across the city for a butcher you trust — you walk to the one on your block. Edgemont Gourmet Meats is that counter for this village: the place you stop on the way home, the name you give a friend, the shop that knows the roast before you've finished asking.
