Al Khair

The Al-Khair butcher shop chain has spent the last 25 years building a footprint across the city, with five shops spread from Jean-Talon to LaSalle, Laval, St-Léonard, and DDO. Each counter leans on Quebec-raised meats, offering everyday cuts alongside specialty orders for home cooks who know exactly what they want. The prepared foods are a draw of their own: marinated items made in-house, trays of olives, and a rotation of Moroccan dishes that cover everything from zaalouk to briwates. Shelves stocked with imported staples round out the mix. Regulars treat it as both butcher and pantry—a place where you can pick up dinner, grab a few cheeses or dips, and talk shop with staff who know the catalogue by heart.
