Hartmans

What is Hartmans? Situated at 3500 Bathurst Street just south of Baycrest in Englemount-Lawrence, Hartmans has been a trusted neighbourhood anchor for COR-certified kosher meats and gourmet deli provisions since 1987. Founded by the Hartman family and operated by the Kurtz family since 2008, the spacious market functions as both an artisanal butcher shop and a ready-to-eat hot food depot. The bright, utilitarian interior centers on bustling service counters, refrigerated display cases, and quick-grab takeaway without sit-down dining room seating.

Hartmans Menu & What to Order While prime dry-aged rib roasts and first-cut veal chops dominate the butcher counter, the prepared food cases and deli station draw a steady lunch crowd. Order the warm hand-sliced pastrami on rye with deli mustard, or opt for quick hot lunches like their steak donair or spiced chicken gyro. Traditional comfort dishes like slow-roasted New York-style brisket, rotisserie lemon chicken, and hearty matzo ball soup are reliable staples, perfectly paired with Dr. Brown’s sodas. Everything prepared strictly adheres to COR kosher supervision, with ample Passover and Shabbat catering staples available year-round.

Know Before You Go Hartmans operates entirely on a walk-in, counter-service, and grocery takeout model with no reservations required. Friday mornings and pre-holiday afternoons see intense rushes as the community shops for Shabbat, so visit earlier in the week for a quieter trip. Plentiful surface parking is available right in the dedicated plaza lot, and note that the store shuts down early on Friday afternoons and remains fully closed on Saturdays.
