🥩 Toronto’s Steak Heaven | The Butcher Chef

Tuna Tartare: Complimentary appetizer. It reminded me of the special tart set I had at Ultra—refreshing and appetizing. 🍣 • Wagyu Carpaccio: The waiter highly recommended this, saying it’s the best raw beef he’s ever had. It features many elements: olive oil, smoked lemon powder, fresh black truffle slices. Combining these quality fats, it’s extremely satisfying and indeed the best raw beef I’ve had so far. 👌🍖 • Seared Foie Gras: I realized that foie gras is quite easy to mess up, and this was no exception. It felt overcooked with a burnt bitter taste. The liver fat was already quite rich and had soaked into the accompanying bread, making it oily and lacking both the bread’s aroma and the foie gras’s flavor. 😕🍞 🥩 Tomahawk Steak: Still a top recommendation from the waiter. It’s the last “hybrid” steak in the restaurant, with 90% Japanese and 10% Australian beef. I ordered it medium, and they provided three types of salt to add as desired. Black pepper was added by the waiter. It was incredibly fragrant and tender. The steak’s sides can be chosen by yourself. 🍽️ • Roasted Mushroom: Various roasted and seasoned mushrooms with a blue flame on top that quickly extinguishes. The mushrooms have a meaty texture after roasting. Really delicious! 🍄🔥 • Asparagus: The asparagus has a unique shape—looks thick but isn’t tough when eaten. The waiter reminded us that the crispy outer layer is edible and shouldn’t be wasted. 🌿 🍮 Desserts (Three Courses): • Daily Sorbet & Ice Cream: I chose vanilla, which surprisingly was yellow. You can see the vanilla seeds! 🍦 • Mille-Feuille: Comparing mille-feuilles to see which is better! This one was paired with pineapple sorbet. The mille-feuille had a tropical fruit flavor, with sweet white chocolate wafers. The combination of mango and passion fruit was a delightful mix of tangy and sweet. 🍍🍰 • Cheesecake: My friend picked this for its presentation. It’s a beautifully creamy white cheesecake, with the waiter personally adding freeze-dried strawberry cream foam on top. The filling includes white chocolate, strawberry rhubarb jam, vanilla cream cheese, and strawberry sauce. Delicious and visually stunning! 🍓🍰 🍷 We ordered two glasses of red wine and one cocktail. The wine and cocktail paired well with the steak. The restaurant is relatively quiet, but the entrance is a bit hard to find due to nearby roadwork. The staff were very attentive, promptly replacing used utensils after each course. 🍷🍹 #AtmosphereRestaurant #TorontoEats #CanadianRestaurants #TorontoFood ### Name: The Butcher Chef Address: 8 Harbour St Type: Restaurant ###
