Best Butcher Shop

This independent Dartmouth butcher, deli and grocery shop has been providing quality meat at affordable prices to the people of Halifax since 2008. It takes pride in supporting Maritime suppliers such as Eden Valley Poultry, Atlantic Beef Products and Original Brothers Meats. “We would most definitely love to thank our loyal customers, local suppliers and most of all—our amazing staff!” Gateway co-owner Tamara Selig told the Coast in 2018. “We couldn’t be any more proud of them.”

Gateway’s popularity with Haligonians has prompted four expansions since it opened on Main Street—and it’s currently undergoing its fifth renovation, pictured above. The Dartmouth butcher and grocery shop has already bumped out the size of its parking lot and is in the midst of building an additional wing.
