I'm so happy that Butcher Boutique opened up in the neighborhood, we were missing something like this!
You can definitely tell that the owners care a lot about their product offerings and are very knowledgeable about the best ways to cook each cut of meat, the differences between them and how to recommend a cut based on your preferences/skill level. Honestly I do not have a lot of experience making steaks but the owners offered a non-judgmental run down of the basics, which was very appreciated. If you want to make your own restaurant quality steaks at home but have never tried before, please come visit this shop and realize that it's definitely possible!
Now besides the service, the quality of meat is obviously great. My partner and I use a sous vide to cook our steaks and then sear it on a pan, since we live in a condo where we aren't allowed BBQs on the balcony, so we picked up two 10oz Australian Wagyu M8 Sirloin steaks. These were $36 each. I'm no expert on steak prices, but that seemed reasonable to me. All their prices are on their website which is great if you want to take a look beforehand, as the other butcher shops we were thinking of visiting did NOT list prices online which made it hard to anticipate what to expect. This steak cooked amazingly in the sous vide (as pictured) and required little to no skill on our part to make it taste even better than some restaurant steaks I've had. A big factor was definitely the quality of the meat.
We will definitely be back to try some of the other cuts, or their "value" boxes which seem to have a little bit of everything.

Upon entry, I was impressed by the range of options available in store. They have it all here, from Japanese Kobe, Australian Wagyu, USDA Prime, Organic Chicken, Sausages and more.
The team takes pride in their work and you can tell that they are really passionate about delivering the highest quality products to their customers. Eddie was friendly, and provided excellent service. I appreciated the personalized service I received and him and staff members took the time to answer all of my questions and provided recommendation based on my preferences.
I ordered the Tasting Menu Box and Korean Short Ribs, the meats were rich in flavour and delicious.
I highly recommend anyone looking for high-quality meats and an amazing shopping experience at Butcher Boutique North York!
Thank you Eddie.

Good selections and quality of meat from around the world (especially Wagyu) at a reasonable price. Besides the typical steak cuts, they also have meat packaged for Shabu Shabu. The butcher boxes are great for meat lovers.

Stumbled upon this place on my walk home, such a lovely addition to the neighborhood! Everyone there was so nice, helpful and friendly! Definitely very knowledgeable about their cuts. You can instantly tell this isn't your average butcher, We got the weekender package for my family of 4 and it was such a good deal we couldn't pass up on it! Prices are so reasonable for the amazing quality of meat, 100% highly recommend!

AHHH-MAZING. Before checking this shop out, I’ll admit, I’ve never had wagyu anything before. It’s always felt so unattainable and not to mention intimidating! That was until I heard about this shop and stopped in with the hubby. It was my birthday and with two young kids at home, hubby wanted to make sure we had a delicious meal at home.
I was NOT disappointed. Boy was the meat delicious and all it took was a little salt and pepper! Nothing else! The customer service was fantastic - knowledgable employees, walked and talked us through everything. We’re not in the area too often but I hear they’re opening another location downtown. Check ‘em out… with the warmer weather coming, I hear they have tasters and boxes for all your gatherings and parties!

The moment you step in this shop, you know this is not your average meat shop. The beautifully curated selection of meats is a testament to the shop's commitment to quality and expertise in sourcing the best cuts from around the world. I bought their secret tasting menu on the first day, and the Japanese wagyu was the best steak I have ever tasted.
The shop owners are friendly and eager to help, providing advice on cuts, cooking methods and seasoning to ensure that you get the most out of your purchase. It is obvious that they take pride in what they do, and their knowledge in their product and the industry is unparalleled.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the best quality meat in Toronto. My only suggestion is that they consider adding olive wagyu to their menu.
