ALTMAERKER German Sausage House and Deli — Restaurant in Delta

Highly recommend this family owned and run local deli. Shopping made easy as Sandra Till runs front of house with cheerful, friendly service. She knows her regulars by name and what they like. Stephen Till, award winning sausage maker, makes most products, with high quality no filler ingredients. If you have food allergies/sensitivities shop here. Too many favourites to list all: brats(various varieties), thueringer, homemade deli meats, french pork, garlic sausage, pepperoni, liverwurst are a few. Homemade sauerkraut with bits of sausage is yummy. Many items brought in: Grimms, breads and many canned/jar items from Germany. They bring in limited supply for Christmas such as Glühwein, german gingerbread cookies, etc. Buy early as goes fast. Located in a small strip mall with lots of parking.

Update (Dec 2021)- For an easy, relaxed Xmas Day lunch we pre-ordered a sandwich/bun and charcuterie tray. As usual, owner Sandra did not disappoint. Everything was awesome and we’ll be enjoying it for a few days. Also pre-ordered rouladen cut (raw) beef to make a special dinner. Note: only...

The friendly owners of this delicatessen come from Saxony-Anhault in Germany. They man the counter themselves and make their own German sausages, lunchmeats and dry cured meats in the back. (They also make sauerkraut, bread rolls and pretzels....and a bunch of other stuff probably). For lunch, they also sell sandwiches to go, as well as soup in the colder months.

The store also sells a selection of German mustards, and other food items imported from Germany. The price point of the items in the store, especially the high quality meats they produce is extremely reasonable for what you are getting.

I particularly recommend the hot Lyoner sausage, it is a perfect blend of savory, salty and spicy. I also really like their Shinkenspeck, it is melt in your mouth awesome. They also sell Italian style deli meats such as Mortadella, Capicolli and Bresaola which are...

If you really want the full experience, walk into the store, and close your eyes. Take a deep breath. The tantalizing aroma of smoked meats will draw you in. I've been going here for 50 years. It's been owned for almost 15 years by owners who have even made it better, as the unique and vast array of their home-smoked and cured meats are beyond delicious, and in some cases, can't be found outside of Germany. You know you're in the right place when you see that everyone who is also shopping is a regular. The sandwiches almost always sell out, (made fresh for you), and I've yet to sample everything that they offer. I always go for the smoked hock though. It makes the most delicious soup, whether you just add dried lentils or peas, or throw some carrots and leaks into the hammy broth. If I could give this place 10...
