The Village Butcher

- 416-503-9555
In a working-class neighbourhood known as New Toronto, something new is happening: young, urbane couples are moving in and flocking to this decidedly upmarket shop. Fourth-generation butcher and owner Mark Ali is passionate about meat, and the focus of his pretty shop—mustard yellow walls and terra cotta tiles—is organic and free-range. Tender 40-day dry-aged Algonquin Angus beef from Green Valley Farms and house-made sausages and meat pies (goose and rabbit, among others) are exclusives. Berkshire pork bacon and ham are all natural.
