Metzgerei A. Lustenberger

I can’t stress enough how much I love this place. I found this small butcher’s shop more or less by accident when I was driving to a friend’s BBQ nearby and wanted to grab some last-​minute marinated pieces in the next Migros and ended up stopping here.
I have to admit that I forgot that places like this one exist. While I grew up in a small town in the Emmental, years of living in major cities got me accustomed to pre-​packaged meat from Migros and Coop.
This is a completely different affair. Service is amazing and the quality of the meat on sale is fantastic. It’s locally sourced and butchered and the people behind the counter REALLY know what they’re doing. You want your chicken marinated? You got it. You want something pre-​packaged for freezing? Sure thing. Real bacon, not the watery, thin stuff they sell you in grocerey stores? Done.
I am not exaggerating when I say that nothing I ever bought here in the past 12 months since I discovered this thing disappointed me.
It’s a little bit pricier than a supermarket, but the quality makes up for it and you’re supporting local small businesses. Everybody wins.
