Belcampo is a traditional restaurant owned by a butcher shop with the same name. They are located in San Francisco, California. The butcher sells meat only from animals raised on their farms, which ensures that what you have in your mouth is fresh. Moreover, they are marketed as 100 percent organic and 100 percent grass-fed meats that do not contain any GMOs or hormones.

However, ButcherBox promises to deliver quality cuts of beef and chicken right at your doorstep by subscription box service. According to them, you will get farm-raised meats without any preservatives or additives directly to your doorsteps every month for an affordable price of $129 per box (for 4 people).

  1. Belcampo focuses on the freshness of meat while ButcherBox does not mention anything about it.
  2. Belcampo markets itself as 100 percent organic and grass-fed meats while ButcherBox doesn’t say anything about it.
  3. Belcampo is a traditional restaurant while ButcherBox is a subscription box service – there are more differences to list, but these are some major ones.
  4. Belcampo knows exactly what they’re selling you because you can see them slaughtering the animal right in front of your eyes at their own on-site butcher shops.
  5. ButcherBox, on the other hand, gets its meat from a variety of different (and sometimes unknown) sources.
  6. Belcampo has more of a personal touch to it since you can go to their restaurant and talk to the butcher himself about where your meat is coming from. ButcherBox does not have this same luxury – you’re at the mercy of what they send you in your monthly subscription box.
  7. Belcampo offers a la carte options for those looking for something specific, like chicken breasts. ButcherBox does not have this same variety – you’re limited to whatever they happen to include in that month’s shipment.

Let’s Wrap Up: What to choose?

If you’re looking for quality, organic, grass-fed meats that you can trust, then Belcampo is for you. If not, then ButcherBox might be a better fit.

Belcampo:  Quality, organic, grass-fed meat from the butcher himself

ButcherBox: Meat with no preservatives or additives from not known to specialize in “organic” meats.

1) In terms of price, these two are about the same – maybe just under $10 difference per month for 4 people.

2) Both have been in business for years and have been well-reviewed by multiple outlets such as IPNews, Yelp, Uptown Almanac, etc… So both seem to be doing pretty well so far in their markets.

So which do you choose?  Belcampo or ButcherBox…?

Well… if what you’re looking for is quality, organic, grass-fed meats that come directly from the butcher himself then perhaps Belcampo is the better choice.

However, if you’re not too picky about the quality of meat and are looking for something more affordable that comes with no preservatives or additives, then ButcherBox might be a better fit.
