Butchers of Distinction is truly a hidden gem. As the lone butcher shop in the quietly booming Riverside neighbourhood on Toronto’s lower east-side, they claim to be the first meat specialty shop to offer only Ontario grown, raised or made produce. Their aim is to offer the very highest-quality products (free of hormones, antibiotics and…

P.J. O’Brien ~ 39 Colborne St ~ (416) 815-7562

Patrician Grill ~ 219 King St E ~ (416) 366-4841
