Welcome to Springfield Meats — North Kildonan's family-owned European butcher shop and specialty import market at 686 Springfield Road in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since opening in 2001, owner Lorne Minarik has built our shop into a beloved community institution celebrated for premium hand-cut meats, handcrafted European sausages, and an extraordinary selection of imported specialty foods you won't find anywhere else in Manitoba.
Our butcher counter cuts every order fresh on demand and grinds beef to order right in front of you — we have never stocked pre-ground meat. Beyond the counter, our shop is a one-stop European import market featuring Hungarian, Serbian, Slovenian, Romanian, Dutch, German, Polish, and Mennonite specialty products, with our partnership with Dutchy's European Market keeping Winnipeg's Dutch and Mennonite communities well supplied.
Our in-house takeout kitchen, led by Chef Irina, prepares up to eight homemade soups daily along with fresh schnitzels, enchiladas, burgers, sausages, and Pinchers Perogies made on-site. With fresh Lake Winnipeg pickerel from Gimli fishermen and house-cured smoked bacon, Springfield Meats serves Winnipeg with Old-World craft and quality every visit.

Yellow Pages Reviewer
" I've been going here for years. Absolutely love their meat and the staff. I swear, best bacon you can get is right here! The best plus is you will only get top quality meat from them, simply the best. Add that to the ever-changing products they make in-house for each season. Once you try them, you never go anywhere else!! "
