Pete is such a talented and skilled butcher. He's has a great team as well! Vanessa, Jae, Dom, Noah, and Patrick who all are knowledgeable and friendly. He sources the best Meats in B.C. Also the Pulled Pork sandwich is amazing! Definitely recommend this butcher shop!!!
Awfully good deli lunches and �.... always looks good and tastes even better. Wishing for a East Van Location � Worth the drive
Have gone to Pete's many times. They have a great selection and the staff are always really knowledgable with the cuts of meat.
Oh, also definitely try their sandwiches- so good!
I have always been satisfied with my visits here. The burgers and kabobs are some of the best I've had in this city, and the staff has always been cool. The meat is fresh and of high quality, never medicated or hormone induced as far as I know, and they have a cool selection of specialty items. Half point off for the selection as it could be larger, but then again, if it maintains the level of quality, it works for me.
I’ve always known this butcher shop existed along Arbutus but never actually went inside to take a look. After my disappointing sandwich from the other week I was determined to find a viable alternative to my usual Subway that was within walking distance of my gym. It just so happens that in addition to being a butcher shop they also make fresh sandwiches. Sold! They’re located on the southwest corner of 12th and Arbutus and are pretty easy to miss unless you’re looking closely for the hanging wood sign. On the left is the sandwich area with a board on the wall listing all the sandwiches. Directly in front and all along the right side you’ll find their various meats in display cases where they’ll cut you a fresh slab of pretty much anything. I decided to wander the shop a bit to see what else they had and they actually had some interesting items I was tempted to buy. They had things like various sauces, oils, rubs, or even random things like Archimallows which the fat man in me really wanted to buy. There’s also a freezer stocked full of some rarer meats such as crocodile, ostrich and kangaroo all of which I tasted last year on my trip to Australia. Interesting stuff! I’ll have to keep them in mind for when summer rolls around and it’s BBQ season.
Best sandwich I've ever had. I highly recommend the roast beef!
Sunday dinner starts here. Top-notch service, exceptional quality meats, and good daily specials. glad this place is just around the corner and open til 7 every night, since my nutritionist gf refuses to eat grocery store meat.
Highly recommended. We shop at Pete's every couple of weeks to stock our freezer. He has a great selection of delicious sausages, some interesting combinations (bisonw/blueberries or truffles, apple pork). My personal fav is the hot Italian, it has heat as the name implies. The quality of the meat itself is outstanding as well. He carries lots of things, spices, pickles, organic eggs, milk in glass bottles, high quality sodas made with cane sugar and he has a sandwich menu. Pete and his staff are always very helpful and friendly. The only place we buy meat these days.
Finally! Delicious meat close to home!. I was so happy to see that we had a new butcher shop in the neighbourhood! Pete is a really helpful guy who is easy to talk to and really eager to help you out. He gives great advice on meat prep and the selection of quality meats in the shop is awesome. The shop is really clean and I will definitely continue to shop there on a regular basis.
The bacon is so delicious and the in-house made sausages are worth trying too! Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
Great Butcher Shop. Noticed this new butcher shop in the hood and had to give it a try. Wow what an amazing butcher shop. Super clean and super rad. The meats were amazing and the butcher Pete was really professional and sure knew his cuts of meat. He gave us great service and we're really impressed with this store. His bacon and sausage was awesome. Had the prime rib and it was hands down the best I've had in the city. Can't wait till its grilling season.
Pete's Butcher Shop and Deli. I live down the street from Pete's and it is the best thing to hit the neighbourhood since I moved here 10 years ago. I have had a variety of different things from ostrich to perogies and I have never been dissapointed. Only impressed. The quality and service, yes service, is outstanding. Nice to know some businesses still care about their customer. Everyone I know in the area has the same opinion and we are determined to keep him around for a long time.
I researched quite a few places when buying a large brisket for a house party. Pete’s Meat offered a reasonable price on a high quality product. They also perfectly seasoned and vacuum sealed the brisket for my Sous vide process. Fantastic service!
The tomahawk steaks for our birthday party were fantastic. You vacuum sealed them, having learned that we would be traveling with them. Our host followed the reverse sear recipe you suggested. Thanks.
Wow! What an incredible shop. I’m so impressed with the amazingly curated selection of beverages, condiments and goodies. Gorgeous meat selection, including many ready-to-cook items, and really nice made in-house items. I’ll be back to try the burger patties. Truly a wonderful store with personable service and only the freshest items in the case. Way to go!
Fantastic butcher located on Arbutus &12th.
Came in for one item and walked out with three and the desire to come back for more. Came away with house-made guanciale, English breakfast sausage, and duck rillette
Extremely knowledgeable, adroit butchers provided great advice.
10/10 for quality and variety of meats offered.
Great selection of quality meats and super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. I find no matter how busy they may be they always treat customers with patience and genuine care. Great prices for the quality you get. Definitely one of the best local neighborhood butcher's in Vancouver.

My favourite butcher in the whole province. Pete is brilliant, and his team just as lovely and knowledgeable as he is. In the 8 years I have been going, not once have I ever been disappointed in finding what I need. I love their food philosophy. I love all the products. I love the fact that they are truly what Community stands for.
They say that third time is the charm, and that is exactly what I can say about this Butcher.
I am from Finland and we make a traditional Finnish ham for Christmas.
I had called multiple butchers throughout the week and decided to visit some today in hopes to find a ham.
This was my third and final stop in the quest for the perfect ham, and this butcher did not disappoint.
He and his team were extremely customer centric and helpful and he answered my prayers with the perfect size ham for me and my family.
A pleasure to shop there; moreover everyone, always, is trying to help you with everything you need and is providing you all the necessary information. Good job guys!
I needed Maui ribs in the winter and they did a special order for me. The ribs were excellent. We will 100% order again.
We've just arrived in Kerrisdale / arbutus neighbourhood and we decided to go to this butchery. We're french and we didn't know the exact names of pieces we wanted (hampe, onglet, bavette d'Aloyau) but the staff were very helpful and patient with us. It's definitely gonna be our go to butchery from now on!
