Butcher Shops in Toronto
There are many choices for butchers in Toronto, including those that sell organic meats, farm raised chickens, grass fed beef, and deli meat specialties throughout the GTA. Here are several of Toronto’s best butcher shops offering a huge selection of certified organic meats, poultry and fish:
High on the list of Best Toronto Butchers is White House Meats, which was originally founded in Windsor, Ont., in 1953. The business relocated to Toronto in the early 1970s and quickly became a fixture of the St. Lawrence Market. The present owners took over in 1990, continuing to offer the same top quality meat products and great service that made White House Meats one of the best butcher shops in Toronto. Their product line is extensive, and now includes one of the largest selections of game meats available from any Toronto Butcher. The business has also added new locations in the Leaside and Kingsway areas.
White House Meats features well-aged beef, fresh pork, farm-raised Ontario lamb, milk-fed veal, free-range chicken, Top Meadow Farms naturally raised beef, free-range turkey and made in store sausages. White House is famous for its large selection of game birds including pheasant, squab, Guinea fowl, quail, partridge, duck and goose. They also stock a wide variety of game meats such as venison, buffalo, elk, ostrich, wild boar, musk ox, kangaroo, and wild rabbit.
Cumbrae’s , with two locations in Toronto, is hands down the favorite for the best quality “hand raised” meats in the city, but also delicious table ready foods such as freshly prepared meat dishes, salads and vegetables freshly prepared daily, as well as packaged pies, soups and dips for eating at home or cottage.
