Incredible service and food, my boyfriend took me to celebrate my birthday here and we both enjoyed every second of it! Leo was our server and he was so polite, kind and knowledgeable with everything! Highly recommend! Thank you for a wonderful evening and making it special for us.

I’ve been planning this evening for a long time. A dinner like this is something my wife and I can only do on the rarest occasion, maybe once every handful of years, so I really wanted it to be special for us. The Butcher Chef delivered. The decor is intimate and the service is professional, but the 10-course tasting menu was the real highlight. We loved the explanation of each dish and the wine pairings. It was clear how much thought the kitchen and staff put into every detail, and sharing that experience really brought our family closer together. I’m very grateful for a wonderful evening.

A meal to remember!! We sat at the bar, Katya was the mixologist and the cocktails were next level. From start to finish the food was fabulous. The tuna, A5 poke appetizer topped with caviar was incredible.. we set the bar high and from there it was one delicious bite to the next. The whole roasted branzino was delicious, seasoned to perfection. If you’re a fan of squash, the side of squash we ordered was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The roasted mushrooms, truffle fries, the greens & herb salad were all fabulous. We ended with a blueberry cheesecake for dessett with a gorgeous presentation. The decor in the restaurant was edgy, eclectic and stunning. If you’re looking for a decadent night out, look no further. Worth every cent!! Thank you!

The attention to detail by the server was incredible. Very warm greeting upon arrival, even though we were early. This was our best dining experience ever, and we've been to quite a few nice places in Toronto. We had the 11 course tasting menu. Every bite was a unique explosion of flavour from fresh and zesty to warm and rich. Seafood, rabbit, caviar, ceviche, wagu beef, beet salad, truffle sauce, squash... ALL of it was a culinary adventure. Expensive, but well worth the money, if you appreciate true authentic flavors. My husband's brown butter old fashioned cocktail was out of this world. The sommelier was helpful in recommending a glass of wine to suit the beginning and end of our culinary adventure. We will be back to try the a la carte menu and dive deeper into a carnivorous experience! Well done, The Butcher's Chef. You were the perfect restaurant for our 35th wedding anniversary.

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating a birthday at the butcher chef and indulging in their 11 course tasting menu! What a treat it was! Every course was soo fun and creative and of course, absolutely delicious! The star of the show was of course the wagyu and the different salts to try (ours being the black salt). The service was top notch (shoutout to our server Nicole she was great!) and the place was very intimate and just made you feel special. The 11 course tasting menu was $350 a person. If you’re needing a place for a special occasion or just need to do something different or just want to treat yourself this is the place! A fine dining experience indeed, 10/10 highly recommend and we hope to be back sooner than later!
