Cumbrae's

With Flintstonian slabs of beef dry aging in the front window, this is a butcher that means business. Owner Stephen Alexander is more likely to be found on the farm, working with breeders to produce the finest naturally raised meat for exacting chefs and ethical carnivores. It’s the place to shop out of your comfort zone, letting the expert staff guide you on the ins and outs of hanger steak and Niagara Gold whey-fed pork. Prepared foods now include heat-and-serve chili and curry, and most of the charcuterie is made in-house. The freezer is a treasure trove of game, demi-glace and the elusive suet.
