This place looks great - clean, fresh, welcoming. Organized process, a lot of hands on decks, knowledgeable about their meats. Meat was decent too. Prices slightly above average, but I suppose justifiably given the quality of the place. Death in Venice ice cream here too!
Cool staff, nice selection of cold cuts, nice assortment of meat, tasty sandwiches!
Best. Butcher shop. Ever. They have really high quality meat (it really makes a difference for cooking!). The selection is great, with lots of cuts of the basics, game, "specialty" meats, sausages, cold cuts, bones, et cetera. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, great service! It is a bit pricier, but worth it.
Love this place. Old world (and also new world) butcher. Great Service, great stuff and wesome selection of pork,meats venison. Always get the double smoked bacon ;)
Stores all the typical red meat you would want in any cut. I wanted a shoulder cut of lamb which was not on display but the staff went in the the back and got me few pounds of it. The rotisserie chicken tastes delicious and I always pick up an assortment of sauces when I'm here.
One of the best butchers in the city. Great meat for great prices, with an awesome selection of charcuterie, sandwiches, and other prepared foods. Always quick and friendly.
It's very painful for me to give a 3 star instead of a 5 star review that I've given in the past but i feel this is the only way to bring an important concern to the store's attention - please let customers know that if they buy chicken on …
Great variety
These peeps know what they're doing, great meat selection, condiments and above all a proper service sequence thats flows consistently every time.
Really great, helping and knowledgeable staff. Answered all my questions and gave me some great recommendations. Really good selection of meats. The bone soup is amazing!!!!
Great service. Awesome selection of products. Fresh meats!
My favourite butcher in the city! Excellent quality and variety, friendly staff, and a very clean store!
Great selection great service. If your open to different cuts etc it's not as spendy as you may think. But it's also very good for finding well cut & prepared cuts for special occasions.
Great little store. Very clean, very friendly staff. Awesome quality of meats and it's humanely rased
Love this place! I always stop in when I’m in Kensington. The products are great - good pricing. The staff are friendly, and there’s one dam fine butcher in there.
Great store for special orders & friendly knowledgeable staffs.
Family and I love sanagans. We won’t go anywhere else for our meat. The staff are always helpful and extremely knowledgeable. You always feel in good hands when you’re in the shop. They really do have the best quality meat in city. The lineups do get long though - so it’s recommended to go at off peak hours
Great customer service, they placed aside beef bones and chicken bones for me. Came in to purchase them, they also recommended where to find veal bones. Clean shop, friendly service and atmosphere a lot of various cuts, dairy products etc.
Excellent butcher
Inconsistent quality and quantity, and always an excuse.
Excellent fresh cuts. One of few places I can find beef cheeks!
Always amazing! Super staff, great selection, freshness, quality! I like that they will find cuts of meat that may not be displayed out front and that they will prep meat for you -- ex. butterfly a chicken. Ask about nitrate free cold cuts.
Best. Butcher shop. Ever. They have really high quality meat (it really makes a difference for cooking!). The selection is great, with lots of cuts of the basics, game, "specialty" meats, sausages, cold cuts, bones, et cetera. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, great service! It is a bit pricier, but worth it.
High quality, great tasting meats. Have had their ribeye & tenderloin cuts and many more. Would recommend this butcher. Only improvement is their customer service, the pickup person was quite rude and condescending.
Excellent in every way.
The staff were super helpful/knowledgeable. Plenty of fresh section of both prepared cuts, as well as ready to prep yourself. They know their cuts!!!
The prices are good, the staff are friendly, and the products are very good. What more can you ask for?
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great place.
Very good meat quality at prices that are above average. The next level up in quality is about 6 times more expensive. My favourite are the (very fatty) breakfast sausages. I cook them with a lid over the pan to get the fat out of them, then fry toast and eggs in the sausage fat. Very, very delicious. The chicken breast is also really good too.
Best in the city
Excellent stuffed cornish hens.
Friendliest service and amazing selection. I look forward to a future visit!
They always have grassfed beef liver! Other butchers I go to get it bi-weekly! Service is extremely friendly and there's so much to choose from!
Every cut of meat I've gotten here has been flavourful and fresh. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience going there, the butchers were all super nice and extremely helpful. Usually butchers are very judgemental if you don’t know what they know but NOT here, Jordan was very nice to me in helping me select a product. Everything was excellent!
The beef ribs were fresh and the staff were all so helpful and friendly!
Great products, great friendly staff that always have good advice to give - love this place. In addition the meats, their eggs and butter are also amazing.
Super staff, great selection. This is the only place in the city where I can find oxtail. They have everything from a hot table to prepared meals.
I love sanagans for there choice an quality of fresh/uncooked food and I will always come back for that. However their pies are overpriced and poor quality over a regular butcher. $8 for a Cornish pastry that is a poor knock off of a traditional pastry is unreasonable.
My meals taste infinitely better when using their proteins. Yes it’s a bit pricier than going to some cheaper big grocer BUT they know the farmer and it is evident in the product. …
People are lovely and their products are incredible and very reasonably priced. And tastes amazing!
Always top notch service. Love this crew.
Great staff, excellent selection. Features local meats.
Best meat in town. Good selection and outstanding service.
Felt like making a fancy dinner... Ribeye roast from Sanagan's Meat Locker in a shallot, porcini mushroom & tarragon sauce with homemade horseradish on the side. Along with southern style green beans, roasted carrots & parsnips and potato puffs (a blend of chou pastry & mashed potatoes, then baked to a feathery light, fluffy and crispy perfection). All this paired with some nice wine. ????
Absolutely the best quality fresh meats at this store. They are honest enough to tell you if the meat shouldn’t be frozen again and it’s supposed to be cooked the same day in a few cases. Definitely my only go-to place in downtown for raw meats. Prices are very nominal too for locally sourced products.
Food is great. I just wish they had staff who didn't skip over your number and understood the difference between kg and lbs. Terrible customer service lately.
Probably my favourite place to buy meat in the city. Great selection, great service, pretty decent prices considering the quality. Prepared Porchetta roast is my favourite thing to get there, but it is all good.
Great place for sausages, steak and all your meaty needs!
Great place, staff and products, wouldn't buy meat anywhere else.
Picked up meat here today. This place is always extremely clean and very well staffed. Everyone wants to serve you here and that’s a great feeling as it’s becoming harder to find such places. The quality of the cuts is great and the pricing while a tad high is still a good deal for what you get. Be sure to try the cup of bone soup, it’s yummy.
Since starting in that TINY location closer to Augusta this establishment has delivered nothing but amazing meat options to The Market. Great, quick service for fair priced, incredible tasting meat. In time they will prove to be a Toronto classic.
I'm in love with this place. I needed andouille sausage on a Sunday morning, and found this place. I was struck by how clean, how well presented and how delicious everything looked. I can say without any fear of exaggeration that their andouille sausage was the best I've found in Toronto so far (I've tried at least four other places that make it themselves), and I'll definitely be back to try other things.
Great food, good customer service!
Awesome place featuring product from local farms. Friendly and helpful staff. Wide variety. Online order process went smooth! Also taking great steps to keep customers safe during COVID-19
Sanagan's is awesome. The staff here are always friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable, especially given the quality of the meats. I love picking up a sandwich from here -- it's made so perfectly. I also pick up pasture raised chicken eggs here and they're so fresh and delicious. They also sell smoked pork ears and tongues for dogs (which mine loves so much).
Great experience
They have this weekend BBQ pack that I buy and take up north before hanging with my friends. The quality is outstanding and love the location.
Excellent selection of meats. Staff is very friendly and will help you select the right cut for whatever you are making. Once they recommended the perfect blend of ground meats for pasta sauce as some can have more fat than others. If you can make it in on time, you should also grab some fresh bread for your meat.
Great butcher shop. Fantastic sausages and short ribs.
Best butcher in Kensington Market. Huge supporter of Ontario growers and producers. Grab your groceries and a sandwich to go at their lunch counter.
Got poultry from Sanagan’s for the first time today because my sister highly recommended them and I am so so glad I went because their produce quality is brilliant and so fresh. I called a day ahead to order my chickens to be skinless and …
High quality meat and sausages. Even though the prices are a little high but it worth it. Also great staff and service.
Great selection of meet. Beef, chicken and pork, sausages and ham. Don't go on Saturday afternoons though. Too back.
Wonderful selection of high quality fresh meat and charcuterie.
Great variety of meats
Hands down my favourite place to buy meat, no question. Everything in the shop is sourced within Ontario. They deal with small farms that place a high value on animal welfare. The proof of the pudding, as the saying goes, is in the eating. …
I love this butcher shop, friendly staff, helpful and make great recommendations. Great selection, top quality, I've always had great tasting cuts from here. Sadly, it is a little out of my way, but in the summer its a great place for a Sunday errand bike ride.

During 3rd wave lock down , there are online shopping for pick up , in store shopping ( very quiet) or curb side pick up. The owner Peter Sanagan treats his staff very well and look after them provided them with the best possible mask and …
First visit today! Will be back for sure!
Great service and great meet selection. Perfect place to grab a high quality cured meat or just a good cut of beef.
Great place! Nice people nice store and most importantly nice meats! They have a large selection of good meats. Definitely the place to go to buy your meat
Great service, cute staff, huge selection!
Great collection of local meat and deli. Hope you expand your salami choices!
(Translated) The meat is complete and fresh, equipped with all the condiments needed for cooking. It’s made by Europeans. Friends who can’t speak English can translate them by mobile phone. It’s not difficult to understand each piece of meat. The condiments here are all agricultural products. It's not on the same level as what is sold in the supermarket. The garlic here is really sweet, sweet and crisp, eaten raw, and can be baked! (Original) 肉类齐全且新鲜,配备所有烹饪所需要的佐料,欧洲人开的,英文不行的小伙伴可以手机翻译,每款肉都有部位标签不难懂,这儿的佐料都是农产配送所以和超市卖的不在一个级别上,这儿的蒜头真的安利,甜脆,生吃,焗都可!
This is thw great place especially their bacons are very good
Amazing!
Great staff and products at a good price. Lots of GF sausages, smoked meats and more
Not every city has a butcher like Sanagans. Makes my life better.
Knowledgable and friendly staff. The best quality for the price of any butcher shop in Toronto.
Good quality meats. Good service. My goto place for meats
Such a great selection of curated grocery items a new favorite go to when I am in the market.A+
Such a great selection of curated grocery items a new favorite go to when I am in the market.A+
Great service, fabulous selection, great quality..I love this place.
Love their double-smoked thick cut bacon. I travel into the city from the 'burbs just for it - that's how good it is.
You will notice the staff are really friendly and will spend the time to tell you about the meat cuts they have... high quality meats, and the cattle are humanely raised... it is amazing how the tast is so noticable... the sausages aswell are super! They sell a variety of pickles, mustard and hot sauce.... the 20kg charcoal bag they have is a premium product and will stay hot and litt for a long time.... A meat gem for Carnivores at Kensington. Good luck guys and keep it up.
Very good meat place, with a variety of meats for all occasions.
A truly amazing gem in Toronto. They really stand behind their product quality, are extremely responsive to any questions or accommodations you may need. I’ve grabbed wings here almost every week for an year and I’m still always shocked by the quality of the meat.
Very best of the best and the staff are amazing.
The only place I go to buy liver as I know their animals come from free-range and grass fed vendors that provide quality products from cared for animals. …
Went into the shop on Jan 16. Quized the fella at the counter about the quality of life of the capon chicken's, what they were fed, and the freshness. He answered knowledgeably. Did the same thing before purchasing the boar meat, and again he was very knowledgeable. Everything looks good in Sanagan's. Clean, well laid out, decorated, and affordable. The take away foods of soup and pasty's were also delicious, and there is space to sit and eat them in store. Only negative: You may smell like you were in a cooked food place when you leave, but not too badly. I'll be back.
Anyone remember when this was European Fine Foods? Yeah, me neither.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING QUALITY!! I’ve been eating Sanagan’s chicken raw for the past week! Any time I’ve eat raw chicken from the supermarket I’ve become VIOLENTLY ILL! But at Sanagan’s I’ve experienced absolutely zero negative consequences! I highly recommend everyone does the same!
Best butcher in Toronto, nothing to add.
Great selection of fresh cuts, knowledgeable staff and great sales! There are some super expensive selections way out of my price range, but lots of affordable options available. Make sure to participate in their loyalty program if you shop …
Great place to shop for your meats! The covid line up is normally 2 or 3 in front of the shop, and then continues across the street, please mind the queue!
Amazing quality, prices and service. Everyone here is SO friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they enjoy working there which I love. 10/10 for everything! I won't shop anywhere else :)
Hands down best jerk chicken I seriously enjoyed and have been constantly recommending to others. Whenever I host a BBQ night, I buy the jerk chicken from here. And I come all the way from North York just for those chickens.
Best place to get meat in Toronto, especially if you're looking for ethically raised and killed.
Sanagan's is my favourite place in the city for meat. It may seem a little expensive, but start buying meat there and TRY to go back to the grocery store- you'll quickly realize nothing else tastes so good! On top of having a ridiculous selection (wild boar chops, anyone?) they buy from local and ethical farms. They can tell you all about the life of the animal and the farm on which they were raised, and then give you just about any cut you want. Did I mention it's delicious!? Tip: If your order is special or if you're running late, you can call ahead and they'll hold it for you.
(Translated) There is a delicious cooked food in the butcher shop. (Original) 肉舖裡有好吃的熟食
Organized and safe process during covid. Meats are stellar - love the rapini sausage.
One of the best quality and most affordable butchers in Toronto. All meats are antibiotic and hormone free, and locally sourced. Picnic chicken is a great bargain (vacuum packed rotisserie chicken). Our only go-to for fresh meat.
My favorite butcher! Best steaks
I've loved this place since they first opened where Hooked is now. These guys know their meat, and they get lots of interesting and delicious things, all made in Ontario. They make excellent charcuterie items, and bring in other excellent charcuterie and cheese from various farms. Try their chicken bacon leek pie, their merguez sausage, or their pate de campagne.
Mediocre everyday meat at Cumbraes prices. Hard pass The Italian sausages smell actually unappetizing while cooking.
Hasn't been the same since since the reopen
Sanagan's has an amazing selection of means, prepared foods and condiments. Check them out in the heart of Kensington Market at Baldwin and Kensington Ave.
Fantastic meat quality ! Highly recommend :)
Amazing selection of local meats and amazing customer service. All questions answered and super friendly
Once you go Sanagan’s you don’t come back.
This place does European Meats proud. History in the location, I remember visits to the butcher shop as a kid. The folks at Sanagan's step it up with tons of delicious locally sourced meats. Haven't tried the sandwiches yet but have heard good things! Love the selection of hot sauce too... ????????????
the best in Toronto!!
Excellent quality. Staff is super helpful and know their stuff. Goat curry is tasty, when they have it.
Very prompt and helpful email response from Peter! I had a few specific questions about unlisted cuts. Received quick clear answers and thoughtful recommendations too.
The meat here is just fresh, natural and good. My best place in Toronto, this place is synonymous of quality. They also got venison and other gamey meats. The staff is very helpful and kind as well!
I was not impressed with their products, and the day I went there service was slow. I used to like the previous butcher shop much better, but this one is not up to the other one's type.
Good quality meat (and a bunch of pantry/dairy products), knowledgeable staff.
Great staff and great meats. Love the new weekender bag for summer.
High quality meats from local producers, with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Super busy shop, but they're quick, so don't let the lines scare you off!
Efficient staff and affordable prices ????????????
Excellent quality meats and top-notch butchers.
the service was helpful. plenty of sausages and they also carry kozlik's mustard (only 3 options avail; triple crunch, dijon and horseradish) …
The staff are amazing and helpfull, fantastic cuts too, cheers!!!
Best butcher in town hands down
I’ve been shopping at Sanagan’s ever since Peter opened up in Kensington Market. The quality of the meat is great. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. It’s my go to butcher in Toronto.????????
cumbraes and sanagans is the best
(Translated) MEEEEAAATT???? (Original) MEEEEAAATT????
Great meats, excellent service, and they always steer me right with suggestions. Sometimes if I'm trying a different kind of meat they'll suggest an entire recipe and it's always a good call. I have an unusual allergy so their allergy book …
This store is curated, artisinal and all the other progressive dog whistles that one could imagine right down to the over zealously attentive know-it-all serrver staff. They are agressively accomodating wih a dismissive edge when you fail to conform to their expectations of you. The meat is overwrought and overpriced as are the prepared foods and despite thier echo of all the PC nostrums they are in it for the bucks and only that. The service is rushed and pressured, the servers are like cult members. Most offensive is he certitude with which they claim to be contributing to saving the planet etc.. by charging 5c for a bag which probably costs 5c for a hundred and the smugness of the server when questioned about this gouge - if you spent $500 we would still charge you for a bad. there you have it - we rip you off so we can virtue signal. Avoid this place

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. A lot of great cuts of meat and seasoning. Will definitely go back.
Can't wait to cook up some short ribs and this heritage chicken. Great little shop
Went to about 3-4 other butcher shops before coming here, asking them to ground up some cuts of beef for me, no one wanted to do it. Came here, asked, they were friendly and happy to help, no pushback at all. Definitely coming back
not a great experience. The staff at The Healthy Butcher on queen are a lot friendlier. Prices were high for the quality.
Thank you Sanagan's for another epically amazing Christmas capon! From start to finish, the process was seamless. Ordering online in advance was quick and easy, the delivery guy was friendly and kind, delivery was on time, …
Best butcher downtown. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Great service and great products
Great quality meat. Love their pasties and pies. Service is friendly. Great for unique deli-type specialty items. Expect increased traffic at peak times and seasons. Plan accordingly, and all is well!
I don’t buy meat to cook very often but when I do I try to buy from Sanagan’s so I know where it’s coming from! Their website is very helpful with showing the farms they source from.
Moved to Toronto in September 2018 and found this butcher walking distance from my place. Amazing meat, amazing service, amazing prices. I'm a carnivore and I go there probably 3x a week to buy their meat. Highly recommend!
Nice place, clean but very pricey.
Good quality of meat but the prices might be a bit high but quality doesn't for cheap :) Staff is also super friendly and enthusiastic about their work which I find very rare these days.
It's the butchers dance while they prepare your order. I ordered a fresh duck at Xmas it became the absolute best duck curry yum yum. Seriously tho. My very seasoned duck curry friends who prepared/shared the dish said so too. They would know.
Awesome! Great ppl to serve the consumer! I feel so welcome. I enjoy shopping there, great great service both knowledgeable and personable folks! It's a treat for me! Excellent product line! Thank you!
Great value - incredible service given how many customers that they serve every hour. Very consistently good, fresh meats no matter which cut you buy.
Staff is great, selection is great
Best meat in town
Excellent meat, talented staff!
epic place for buying meat. marinated stuff taste is lit. great prices also
Excellent meat selection!
Great choice of meats. Dry aged, grass fed, they got it all. Good customer service too. Love this place
The best butcher in town! Quality and choice are always there! Location in Kensington market, it's always a pleasure to spend money there haha the meat is so tasty! Customer service is great!
My go to for tartare, short ribs and wild game! Best butcher in town
The beef was really good. I’m not a steak person and primarily bought it for my fiancé but I will be sure to return there in the future for special occasions. The cost is on the pricier side but there are many options to choose from
The BACON is DELICIOUS! If you love meat and BACON, THIS IS IT. Yes, they have other great things next to BACON.
Great selection of Ontario sourced, small producer meat products.
Sanagan's is my go to butcher shop. I can proudly say that I travel here from Durham Region. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Best things to buy here in my opinion are sausages (they have a wide variety), chicken, lamb, pork, deli meats and ground meats (perfect for making hamburgers). Sanagan's also sells jam and other condiments. If you want to try something really good roast a pork loin and glaze it with a nice jam purchased from here. Sweet and savoury perfection. If your looking for a quick weeknight dinner grab a rotisserie chicken and pair it with a side. Sanagan's rotisserie chicken blows Sobeys and Metro's out of the water. If your passing through Kensington Market make sure you stop by this gem. Peter and his staff don't disappoint. Fun Fact: Sanagan's Meat Locker has been featured several times on the show Come Dine with Me Canada.
Very prompt and helpful email response from Peter! I had a few specific questions about unlisted cuts. Received quick clear answers and thoughtful recommendations too.
High quality products, fair prices, knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Wonderful service, every time. They are the only place I buy meat.
Great variety of meat. From affordable to luxurious. Worth at least visiting and taking a look
Extremely helpful and friendly.
I like how orderly this place is. You go in, grab a number, someone calls you. Great selection of meats at reasonable prices, too.
Friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and they take the time to explain the various products. One of my favourites place to check out when setting up a charcuterie board!
Quality of meats is top notch. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. My favourite place to buy meats at. The roasted chickens always smell so amazing, i have to try them one day.
Fantastic butcher from cold cuts, to poulry and beef. Great 40 day aged tomahawk steak is highly recommended alongside many of the marinated meats such as the jerk chicken or terrayki miami short ribs. One of the biggest reasons I visit is because they purchase their meats from farmers who treat their animals well (no factory farming, open pastures, etc). Prices are reasonable relative to other butchers in the city.
Excellent house made charcuterie. I will return
Great quality products. Burgers are great. Poultry is good. Variety of sausages to pick from. Wild boar is a must try. Steak is on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for.
Great local butcher. Wide selection of meats and very friendly staff. They also have a small selection of takeout food, such as sandwiches, and homemade broths and jerky.
Great staff, great knowledge, great prices!
Awesome place. Dry aged burgers :-)
Great products and good service.
Excellent selection of meat. I was looking for some Elk and they had it available frozen. They also had freshly made Bison Burgers along with some steaks and ground meat I purchased with my elk. The staff were very keen to help and answered all my questions (as I had asked about how to cook with Beef Tallon - which I added to my order). Customer service is outstanding. This is an excellent butcher shop, so glad I made the trip. I will be a regular.
Rude arrogant service.
Great selection, a bit pricey but worth it, help and kind staff team. I would recommend.
love their prepared foods
Eating a venison burger that I picked up there earlier today. So good!
Best butcher in the city.
I used to come here for their lunch special. It was one of the best. Only wish there was seating.
Best butchery in town.
Great
I’ve been going for many years and it’s great to see this shop grow while still maintaining the quality and service they used to have in the very small shop down the street. Quality products and top notch service.
Answer your phone was an old post & upset me enuff to write a one star. On my most recent call attempt, the phone was answered promptly. Not only did they answer, but took great pains to take a custom order, which was filled on time! Changed to a five star. Thank you.
Top notch meats. top notch counter service. Bout to get into some weisswurst ????????
One of the best customer experiences I've ever jad at a butcher shop. The employees make great recommendations!
Pretty great butcher shop with helpful staff and lots of variety. Can get pretty great (cooked) burgers for a good price at lunch time too.
My favorite butcher they sell really good meat and also they work with local producers to bring good meat.
