In Short – 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 walnut and lobster. Pâté flavors include duck mousse with port, salmon, and spinach.

call before you go

by pastramix2

went for some of the "best" pastrami the other day, had to drive around 3 times to find parking, went in, and the butcher says...............wre dont have any?????

so call before you go, the best on the block, is not the best stocked.

  • Pros: have not found any
  • Cons: no stock

By far, the best grocery on Charles Street

by oceb

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 consommer de preference avant) and not the "best sale date"... if you see a product which expiration date was yesterday DON'T EAT IT, if you see a product where the expiration date do not appear or was hidden or removed, DON'T EAT IT.

I am shocked all the time I see this happen and it happens very often in other high-end grocery shops (check De Lucas on the other end of Charles Street if you want to see)

  • Pros: Quality, service, trustable
  • Cons: Price

Good cheese.

by lilkel8267

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 worth the trip for an occasional gourmet treat.

  • Pros: Convenient to Charles/MGH T, has lots of specialty and exotic foods
  • Cons: A little pricey

The Details on Savenor's Market
