With full-service meat counters featuring beef, pork, lamb, veal, poultry, and game meats, we combine traditional butchery with modern convenience through our online ordering system and delivery services. Our commitment to quality extends beyond meats to include fresh local produce, imported Portuguese and South American specialties, and a full-service deli with artisanal cheeses and charcuterie.As industry leaders with over 50 years of combined supplier relationships, we maintain rigorous standards to ensure every product meets our exacting criteria for freshness and flavor.

This is a great butcher shop, which also has fresh produce. There's also a good deli. They specialize in Portuguese foods and the Portuguese donuts are awesome. The staff are all very nice, kind and helpful. The only drawback is the customers: some are extremely rude and have absolutely no manners whatsoever. Best to go weekdays when it's not busy.

Fantastic. This butcher offers quality product at a great price. The staff are kind and their selection is varied. They offer parking at the back and is also about a ~5min walk from Ossington station.

This is my go-to place to buy us fresh meat and A few of our staple/favorite Mexican products. They sell from a variety of animal protein to vegetables, cheeses, cold cuts and dry/canned products. Be careful as sometimes their meat is not the freshest but mostly all of it is in a good state. to be prepared asap or even to bag and freeze. They sell mostly Portuguese products but I also find lots of Latin items as well. They have the most affordable prices Ive found and the staff is actually nicer that I would have expect. Also, many of them either speak or understand Spanish really well, which
