Savenorâ€™s high commitment to quality and customer service also serves to differentiate it from the rest. House accounts, delivery service, curbside pickup, worldwide shipping and online ordering, coupled with the storeâ€™s extraordinary offerings, reinforce the storeâ€™s reputation as â€œThe Best on the Block.â€

Business Description from the Web

This quaint Beacon Hill market caters to serious gourmet cooks with ingredients you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else in America. The deli features lamb, beef and poultry along with more unique items like rattlesnake. The narrow aisles are packed with sauces, exotic spices and condiments, imported jams, marmalades and oils. The bakery section is one of the area's finest.

The traditional wooden shelves, hanging baskets and pots and pans are reminiscent of 1939, when Savenor's first opened. With its tony selection and not-so-cheap prices, the market caters to the upper-crust Beacon Hill crowd. The store carries produce, dry goods, bakery items and dairy products from more than 150 suppliers. Check out the selection of handmade ravioli with fillings like chicken... more

Cambridge foodies need not cross the river, as Savenor's has another location along the Cambridge/Somerville border.

Savenor's is the perfect place to provision yourself before a concert or movie on the nearby Esplanade (or a really pricey cookout; Kobe beef, anyone?). And it's the local purveyor of exotic meats -- if you crave buffalo or rattlesnake, this is the place.

By far, the best grocery on Charles Street

brought to you by

Citysearch

I am French, I live in the Beacon Hill and I am very picky about food and cheese, and Savenor has a good selection of both AND something rare in the US, the cheese are actually eatable! The service is very nice and friendly and the vegetables are fresh.

Hints: If you buy a French cheese (and any French product), it is mandatory in France to indicate the expiration date of the product (a... more

Good cheese.

brought to you by

Citysearch

Having lived in France, I'm always looking for someplace where I can get GOOD cheese, preferably French, and Savenor's fits the bill. They have a good selection of cow, goat, and sheep's milk cheeses and generally have baguettes available (though they're not necessarily French-style "croustillant" baguettes). There's also a good selection of foie gras. All in all, it's a bit pricey, but... more

Pricey but fresh by Emily S. at InsiderPages

There is always something delightful about independant markets in the city. The produce and meat is always fresher, the people more knowledgeable, and you don't mind paying more than a little extra to get the quality they provide. Being at the end of Charles Street is both inconvenient as well as being close by- the walk to Savenors is pleasant and quaint, but walking past the other shops on... more

FABULOUS

The freshest salmon I ever purchased came from Savenor's. Their meats are incredible, as wells as their cheeses and breads. FABULOUS!

over priced

brought to you by

Citysearch

exceptional quality veal, beef and lamb can be obtained here. The mutiflavored ravioli are Venda
ravioli from Providence and can be bought in Providence for half the price and they'll probably be fresher. Good selection of mushrooms, but much of its produce quality is no different then chain supermarkets.

It goes without saying that all the meat whether exotic or merely hamburger is fabulous. What makes the difference is the service. At Savenors, you get absolutly what you ask for..no matter how obscure a cut of meat you want. No point in being a foodie if you can't get the perfect ingredients. Heaven would be having Savenors next door to SouthEnd Formmagio right there on Charles St.
