Visited the Piggy Market for the first time. Nice little spot just off the main drag in Westboro. It's a combo luncheon/diner and take-away butchery and cheese shop. Stayed in and had the Piggy Classic sandwich (pulled pork and blue cheese on an egg roll) - absolutely delicious. Great spice and flavour. Took home some artisanal cheese hard to find in ottawa. Staff was friendly and the place had a cool atmosphere. Will be back for sure.
The Piggy Market has a huge fan base among us Westboro dwellers. It's tucked in behind the Dairy Queen in Westboro, just off the new Winston Square. Piggy Market is a butcher shop (well, sort of a butcher shop) but also a place to get cheese, bread, and freshly prepared foods for lunch or dinner. I'm a big fan of their Jamaican patties (I see others are here too!). Chicken is my go-to but they're also available in beef and veg. The pastry is gorgeous and flakey and the meat is perfectly seasoned.
I also drop by if I need a loaf of bakery bread. I've never been disappointed!
p.s. It's worth following them on Facebook to see what they're cooking up for the day!
Some of you may know this street to be "the alley next to DQ", but to The Piggy Market it's Winston Avenue. A short walk behind not-quite-finished structures that will soon be an open air theater, The Piggy Market is a not-so-hidden gem of Westboro. If you're within a 5 mile radius of Westboro center, you know that the market is saturated with cafes and alternative diet food establishments. The Piggy Market is a great place if your alternative diet requires quality, locally supported meat products...

Two words: Jamaican Patties - You're welcome.
Bought an absolutely delicious freshly-cut ribeye (see in photos) that was outstanding. I agree with some of the other reviews that this place is pricey, but the quality of meat was superb. Highly recommend trying it out.
Was out on the street looking for lunch. Saw the piggy market sign and figured I would check it out. Pulled pork with blue cheese and a fresh baguette. YUMMY! These were $7.50 each and worth it. I was looking at some of the other products and the prices seem high. A tiny jar of pickled beans was $13. Ouch
Great service and great product!. Stopped in for grilling and cooking supplies on my way to the lake, really thought I had made a mistake at first as there were no cuts of meat on display as in other butcher shops. Figured I was already here so gave my order and had all the chickens and steaks I needed. Cut to order fast and worth it didn't have everything I needed but told me exactly where I could get it. Sorry I'm not local!
This little piggy had roast beef.... I went in last weekend because they had a sign out saying they do fresh sandwhiches. Exciting! I ordered a roast beef sandwhich and my fiance ordered pulled pork. It was unbelievable! The roast beef was so juicy and flavourful and they give you lots of it, the spreads and extras they put on are gourmet and out of this world. It was served on a fresh baguette. I will be going back for more sandwhiches. I have also bought meat here and jams and other goodies. Everything has been wonderful so far. Go check it out!
