Reviews of Sebastian & Co Fine Meats (Downtown) (Butcher Shop)

I am being honest here. These guys have the best quality meat I've ever had. It's either these guys, or I don't buy steaks. I will be one of their best customers for sure.

Had the El Chacarero, Ruben sandwich and beef empanada. One of the best sandwiches I've eaten so far, super fresh. The empanada was amazing with the dip. Very liberal with the dip too. Very meaty. Will try others too.

Exceptional product at a premium price.

The interior is beautiful, staff are friendly and the selection of meats is delectable. The steak and mushroom pie I had for lunch today was great (thawed and heated at home).. A terrific addition to downtown Vancouver.

There is a Broth Bar!! Amazing fine meat selections along with custom blend rubs, oils and spices including the original coveted charcoal rub!! My favourite olive oil and salt blends I’ve ever had. Their specialty selection of curated packaged and fresh foods with friendly knowledgeable staff make this the perfect fine food destination and a great spot to swing by every day for the best savoury finds all the time.

Great selection of everything meat plus very creative carnivore delicacies for every occasion. We had some great sandwiches plus a steak pie for the night, they also have probably the best empanadas in Vancouver. Would definitely recommend.

Friends recommended Sebastian's new location on Howe Street. I was blown away by the variety of fine quality meat, poultry, sauces and other specialty food items. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I've been in 3 times in the past 10 days and each time, I find something that tastes better than the last. Great sandwiches too! Sebastian the Owner is ever present and brings great style and verve to the place. WOW a world-class shop around the corner.

So excited to have a real proper butchers in my neighbour hood. I’m going to eat all the meats.

i just tried something from their prepared selection and it was absolutely delightful, I can't wait to go back and pick out something else to try. I'll be more than happy to recommend this to my friends and family as well.

The first time I had charcuterie box from these guys, I was blown away by the taste and presentation. Today I went to order charcuterie box and I am disappointed by the presentation, packaging, taste and staff behavior. I wish they maintain consistency in their quality.

Love this place! They have an exceptional selection of high quality meats, and a lot of good cheese and frozen products. They also do some really nice sandwiches and “to-go” charcuterie. Perfect for grabbing and heading to the beach. The service is exceptional and there is decent street parking in the area.

Mike Rose

The best butcher in the city! Great products, great staff, great food.

Tristen Hill

Amazing cuts of meat and great customer service. They didn’t have the cut I was looking for in the display case and so the butcher went into the back and cut it for me and bang in nailed the weight I requested too.

Allen Goldin

Knowledgeable staff and high quality meat. Happy we have this place!

David King

Never thought I'd love a butcher shop, but this one i do. Great variety of food, and great patio to eat their amazing sandwiches.

Isabel Aasen

I was there for the first time. I was so impressed with the variety and quality. Yes, you pay for quality. And it’s with it.

Kevin Tran

Quality dry aged steaks! Will try other cuts and products next time.

This shop is a lot smaller (on the customer side) that you'd think. The design is very neat and clean, but is oddly shaped. They seem to specialize more in beef, but here's the problem. The AAA beef is stuff you can get anywhere else. (We bought some, it definitely lacks "beef flavour" that you'd get from nice dry aged meat). The more premium beef is pricey but you could get the same/similar stuff from Whole Foods and they have a lot more variety and volume. Problem #2 : If you're talking Italy, Spain or maybe even Germany. What is the king of meats there? It's pork. And their selection & knowledge is severely lacking. I don't think they even do their own butchering there. You pop by the shops in Chinatown, they do whole pig, nose to tail, they know the pig and they get you whatever cut you want. Here I'm pretty sure they just take in select cuts here and it's not particularly amazing, there are other western-style butchers in town that have better. But you know what, we got a pretty decent deal on chicken soup bones. Due to their butchering skill, there was tons of good meat left on the bones. You draw your own conclusions. This place has neither variety nor inexpensive prices so what's left? Style? Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad place, it's just that there are places that do more for less. They're not the only real butchers in town.

The staff is super friendly! Answered all our questions about the sandwiches. I had the salami sandwich and the chacarero. I liked the bread on the salami sandwich and the filling of the chacarero. Can't wait to go back to try the other sandwiches and purchase some meat for future barbeques!

Darren Teetaert

The best dry-aged steaks. Seasoned with a little salt and pepper before grilling - amazing umami, the porterhouse had a cinema popcorn butter note that blew us away. (Time to go see movies again!) True passion and care for the product.

Tracie Miles

I have purchased 3 Prime steaks there and have to admit they were possibly the tenderest steaks I’ve ever had, full of flavour and beautifully cut. Their bacon is excellent as well. Great service, beautiful shop and wonderful addition to downtown Vancouver - no need to go over the bridge for great grass fed grain finished beef anymore. Looking forward to trying more of their products.

I like the products there. But when I ask few questions, the guy only said Ah? What? And I don’t know. Probably My English is poor that he couldn’t understand me. But He pointed the machine to let me pay without say anything, then I get it. If you are not happy, don’t come to work instead of showing your attitude to the customers.

Melody Haddow

Anticuchos, steak & onion pie, OH MY. Both were incredible - great quality, great flavour. The service at Seb & Co's was very professional and the shop itself incredibly clean, stocked with high quality products. We will be back. Very soon.

Pretty amazing customer service with great knowledge and patience. I had Tess take care of me at the Howe street location. They did not have quite the size brisket I needed so Tess went in the back and cut me a piece that I was looking for. I also asked about buying liquid smoke nearby and Tess offered to give me a small amount, on the house. Wow! What great service. You’ve made a lifer out of me with such a small gesture. Cheers to you Tess!
