This was my second visit to the restaurant, and I couldn't help but notice a significant increase in prices. While I understand it's fine dining, paying $5 for a glass of water and $30 for a side dish felt quite unexpected. Our order included one appetizer, one side, two entrees, three drinks, one dessert, and the final bill amounted to $500+ including tips.That said, the food was delicious. The Seared Foie Gras was a standout. The foie gras was perfectly seared, its richness complemented by the crispy French toast and the special sauce drizzled on the side. Each bite was a symphony of flavours, with the foie gras melting in your mouth and leaving its aromatic essence lingering on your palate.Moving on to the main course, the rabbit dish I had was incredibly tender, and the meat sauce added a perfect flavour enhancement. The meat itself was also well-marinated.We tried the sautéed mushrooms for the side. The mushrooms were deep-fried and flavorful.For dessert, the chocolate mousse was rich and creamy, a perfect wrap for our experience. Needless to say, their drinks were tasty too.Their service was also great. The staff was professional and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of excellent.Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience, but I may not return for another visit again considering the price.Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 5/5Drinks (quality, variety) - 5/5Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 5/5Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 5/5Value (quality vs. price) - 1/5OVERALL - 4.2

Amazing food and service. Steak was expertly prepared and sides were classics with a unique flair. Everything was very good. Extensive wine list but not many options for the average budget. A wonderful experience but certainly not an inexpensive one.

Ventured with an important client for my first try at Butcher Chef and the food/service was phenomenal. Steve/Stelios took exceptional care of us and hope to be back very soon. Thank you for the memorable experience, one of the best in Toronto for sure.

My husband and I had high expectations for butcher chef and we left feeling disappointed.We don’t mind paying a high price point for quality food, cocktails and service. We were underwhelmed and felt ripped off. All the cocktails were 25$ and above but there was nothing special about the mixing, tasted like lemonade to a point where we ordered raw drinks.We have had better steak, better braised beef that is actually accompanied with a side (mash or some sort of purée) for 92$ the taste and flavour didn’t go with the recommended side. The server told us there would be a little bit of potato mash but there wasn’t. Overall the price point doesn’t match the service and food quality.

Saturday, February 24th, 2024.We were greeted by the worst host ive ever encountered. She was extremely rude with a nasty attitude. Our server was kind but was a bit egotistical.Now for the food it was something I wouldn't recommend to anyone. we ordered wagyu steaks, shrimp, salad, pasta, wagyu tartar & nothing was tasteful at all.this place is a massive waste of $, there's plenty of better places to fine dine at.
As an avid steak lover, I highly recommend butcher chef. Not only were the multiple cuts and origins of steak amazing, the service was impeccable. Surprising that this place is not as popular as harbour 60, because it was better in service, ambiance, and taste. Our server Michael was personable and genuine, appreciated that he seemed to really know the menu. Will definitely be back, and will recommend to others!

Wonderful dinner experience on February 17, 2024. Butcher Chef really knows how to deliver a fine dining experience. The menu is extensive and has a great selection of steaks from local and international farms as well as seafood and caviar. I really enjoyed the game meat main course feature. Servers were attentive and professional as well as very pleasant. Great wine list and cocktail options. The restaurant has stylish design.
