Awesome products but every time I go there its a bummer dealing with the lady at the counter- always feels like she would prefer not to have to deal with humans- what could be such a fun discovery turns into me apologizing for disturbing her as I spend $200 ??♂️?

The saucisson sec here is incredible. If you know the smell and taste of a real saucisson sec from France, you'll be very happy. I've been living in Canada for over 20 years and I've never had one come close to the real thing until now.The cheese selection is incredible, reasonably priced, and the house made paté is unreal. You can't go wrong.You'll spend more than you intend to, and when you get home and give everything a try, you'll have zero regrets.

This is the best place one could go anywhere in the world for quality, meat and cheese. Frederick is a true pleasure to deal with and cures the most incredible meat at his shop. A must try if you're visiting Halifax!!

Really upsetting experience. Nice shop with good looking products, but the attendant was inexplicably hostile when I asked for reccomendations despite being the only customers there at the time. It was really uncomfortable. We won't be back.

Very welcoming atmosphere, they asked us to sit well they prepared the sandwiches and gave us water while we waited even though we were getting the food to go. Definitely recommend

Would be a standout cheese/charcuterie spot in any city in the world. Don’t sleep on the prepared food options and the baked goods.

Went here in September and grabbed a late lunch the afternoon the Queen passed away. Didn't know what to expect since we were the only ones there - but the chef whipped up a spectacular dish of duck leg confit, green beans, potatoes, and some just-foraged yellowfoot chanterelle mushrooms. Got some helpful tips on mushroom hunting in Nova Scotia that I put to good use a few days later on a camping trip. Can't recommend highly enough.

It's true: the lady behind the counter was very disinterested in providing much customer service. So what. The cheese and the cured Wagyu were incredible.

Always come to get some smoked meat and sausages. The best in Halifax, but the new bar/table is awesomePorchetta sandwich was amazing
Excellent selection of cheese, knowledge and friendly staff - definitely my new go-to in the city!

Fantastic quality products here... the duck confit is heavenly! My first visit, several months ago, was marred by a very dismissive, unhelpful staff person. Even after spending over $125, she seemed to almost go out of her way to be rude. It made me hesitant to go back. That said, yesterday, the young woman behind the counter was friendly, helpful, and efficient. What a relief!!!! Thanks for your pleasant service - it goes a long way!

Great selection of fine products that my family and I really enjoyed... but it's too bad the customer service doesn't give them justice. Every time we went, we were poorly received, didn't feel welcome, no "hello" or "goodbye", felt rushed even if we were the only customers... We kept going because the products are great but we can't say we enjoyed our experience.

A most unpleasant visit to this shop yesterday. A very good selection of cheese was offset by a curt and unfriendly woman behind the counter. If we greeted customers with such austerity and abrasiveness as this, GOOD GOD our own pursuit would be out of business in no time! We will never return....
