Meet your Butcher

The Friendly Butcher is a family-owned butcher shop proudly celebrating 30 years in the North Toronto community. From our early days in a modest shop just south of our current location at 3296 Yonge Street, we have grown into a beloved neighbourhood destination known for quality, care, and consistency. With the addition of our Cedarvale location at 224 Vaughan Road, we’ve been able to serve even more families while continuing our commitment to exceptional service and the finest hand-cut meats sourced from local Ontario farms. Alongside our premium meat selection, we offer thoughtfully curated pantry and produce items, as well as a range of prepared foods made in-house, including meals, soups, and savoury pies. We’re honoured to be part of your community and look forward to serving you for the next 30 years.
