Olivier's Butchery

Absolutely stellar experience! I am doing two different types of pork roast for a big Christmas dinner, one Italian Porchetta (Jamie Oliver recipe), and a Danish Flæskesteg. Both cuts are a bit unusual. I went to one old and well known butcher shop in San Francisco, and had it mansplained to me in a rather arrogant way that those cuts were wrong, even though I brought the book with me to show photos. I went home and googled other butcher shops and found Olivier's. I emailed them and got a reply back within less than 5 minutes, telling me that of course they can help, and told me how to enter the special instructions on the order form. Two days before I go to pick up the meat they call me and asks if I want one of them scored Danish style! Heck yeah! As I went to pick up the meat today (first time visiting the store), I was blown away by how service minded ALL of them were. The guy behind the counter butterflied the porchetta in front of me just the way the recipe calls for (that the other store said was impossible...), and the Danish cut was perfectly scored for the crackling. Can't wait to get cooking! I came only to pick up these items, but they have SO much more! Everything looked super clean and professional, and I look forward to coming back. I'm telling all my Danish friends about it!

I can only recommend this shop. The quality of the meat is excellent. I tried different cuts of beef, chicken and pork and I have never been disappointed. They have weekly and seasonal specials. I love that they have a lot seasoned meats options ready to be cooked. Beside this, the service is always attentive, welcoming and they provide useful info and cooking instructions.
