A farmer-to-customer operation, with an excellent selection of superb quality meats, prepared food, and take-home meals in a self-serve freezer. No deli meats here, as everything they serve is made on the premises, including a good selection of sausages, my favourite being the all-beef chorizo. The staff are awesome, friendly, knowledgable, and accomodating. The décor is warm and inviting and the place is spotless. This is my butcher in the hood.

The staff here are always very pleasant and knowledgeable. I love their lamb merguez sausages and their ground poultry. The duck fat is also fresh and reasonably priced. The meat is high quality, tender, and delicious. It has very little fat leftover after cooking.

I love these guys and won’t buy my meat from anywhere else. The prices are a bit higher, but it is so worth it. You’re getting fresh meat from local Ontario farms. I never knew how much better meat tasted just by being fresh(never frozen, not old). Everyone(and I mean everyone) raves about our cooking when we buy from BOD. The staff are so friendly and provide great cooking suggestions. They are also happy to take special orders. A rave review from me. I’m okay letting the secret out — I want this business to thrive and stay in the neighbourhood. Thanks BOD!

This is a beautiful shop. Bought some bacon from here the other day and it is delish!!! The prices are a bit high, but not out of line for the quality. In a neighbourhood in flux, I hope this shop can ride the turmoil and stays put!

A fantastic neighbourhood butcher shop, focused on the meat. They do have some secondary products, some frozen pies and soups, a few ready-to-cook kabobs and salads. But the main event is the meat, and this is where they really shine. All of their stuff that we’ve tried — pork chops and shoulders, beef ribeyes and striploins, prime rib, duck breast, bacon, whole chickens, lamb chops, burgers — has been top notch. The staff are very friendly, and knowledgeable about the product of course, but also its origins: they can tell you all about their farm partners. They’re also quick to offer cooking guidelines or recipe ideas if you need it. The prices will probably feel a bit high if you’re used to shopping for meat at a supermarket, but that’s just what good meat costs. It’s well worth the premium. BoD very quickly became a staple for us. They’re a great addition to the area.

Best pot roast, hamburger and now bacon I’ve ever had. I used to think beef was beef, but believe me when I say, the right butcher can take your favourite dish and make it better. The staff are friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Don’t be shy — if you’re a novice, they’ll put you at ease. Fair warning — once you’ve tried BoD, it’s hard to go back. The quality is worth the extra you’ll pay.

I don’t eat a lot of meat but when I do, i like to know where it comes from, who butchered it and how it was raised and fed. This store nails it. Unlike others in the hood, this one really delivers on quality and service. Sometimes I just stop in to look, this place is so impressive and a very welcomed addition to the area.

Awesome neighbourhood butcher. The store looks clean and modern, and the staff are all friendly. The meat is pricier than others but it is really good quality.

The boutique hotel of butcher shops. A wonderful addition to the neighbouhood. Beautifully designed. Expertly curated. Friendly, knowledgable staff that help you find the proper creature to fill your blood lust. Experts in both the butchery and the kitchen. Always ready with culinary suggestions ranging from the simple to the spectacular. People who truly love what they do. Complete transparency. A window to the back of the shop. A sanitized glimpse into the circle of life which you probably want to know as little as possible about. Remember, you are what you eat.
