Côte de Boeuf

Awesome little charcuterie in the heart of the ossington strip. Butchery by day, cute eatery by night. Felt like I was in a little shop in France. Owner speaks French too. We had bone marrow and a charcuterie platter plus wine. They had some great steak options for larger parties. Will definitely be back again.

Stumbled into this adorable French-​style butcher shop cum-​wine bar while ogling the beautiful cuts of meat in the window. Tiny little space — it’s a french grocery & butcher shop, and they serve wine by the glass and appetizers. We had a lovely cheese & charcuterie plate (a bargain at $ 16CAD). Adorable place to chill with a glass of wine or take a sandwich to go. Katie was our server and she was spot-​on. We will be back!

Best meal I’ve had in this neighbourhood, I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys farm to table meats– cured, smoked, grilled– they have it all. The atmosphere is lovely, the guys make you feel like family and welcome you into their space. We were a group of 6, sat at their butcher table in the kitchen essentially, we watched them make home made sausage and cook the whole meal. Everything from the butter to the meats to the sliced bread is top notch.

Just popped in here. Super friendly & helpful staff. DELICIOUS LOOKING baked goods & tantalizing meats & cheeses on display. They also have hearty sandwiches I didn’t try.
Words to the wise: their selection is limited, and they primarily have beef. As well, while I’m sure the quality warrants it, their prices are on the high side.

It was a Tuesday evening when at 6:03pm I opened the door and entered the store. I was abruptly stopped in my tracks and informed that the store had just closed (they had just forgotten to lock the door). I awkwardly backed out onto the street and this is where it gets off-​putting. I sat on the bench in front of the store and began to text my wife the bad news. Just then an employee and another customer walked past and into the store, with the customer asking whether they were still open. I sat in shock staring through the window while I witnessed them serve up the customer’s order, catering to his needs as he pointed out what he would surely be enjoying soon. I slumped back into the bench hungry and defeated. I swore never to look for meat there again.

This place is incredible. Everything they sell is absolutely amazing, especially the corned beef sandwiches. This would be a 5 star review (and I would frequent the shop daily) if it wasn’t so overpriced.

What a gem. Everything they have is super fresh. Great to indulge yourself if you had a bad day or if you are feeling happy: in any case this is a place where no matter how you feel, is going to make you feel good.
Everything is so good and well prepared and matched.
The only downside is that if you want to sit and have a hot sandwich or plate, the choice is very, very limited.
Awesome side? It’s all prep on the spot with fresh ingredients and the choices change weekly!
Friendly staff and cozy environment make this place a gem in the heart of Ossington.

Love their new hours — glad they finally expanded past the 6 pm close time. Most of us don’t get home from work until after 6 pm and what are we to do when the local butcher is already closed? While their cuts of beef are a bit pricier than St. Lawrence market and Cumbrae’s the quality is worth it. I’ve had some beautiful pieces of beef from here. Staff are knowledgeable and for the most part friendly though some can be of the «too cool» ilk.
Also, kudos on the new lunch /​snack menu. The burger is awesome — I would put it in my top 5 along side the beefier one served at Union.

This is a beautiful little butcher shop that now serves fantastic wine by the glass! Both the Côtes du Rhôné and cava we tried were delicious and well priced at $ 7. The Parisian décor is charming and the staff friendly. We stopped by on the weekend and it was extremely relaxing to sit at wine barrels while customers chatted and chose sandwiches and gorgeous cuts of meat. We also picked up a fun cheese and smoked cashews.

This lovely little shop now serves wine, fernet and burgers. There aren’t many seats, but on top of using it for groceries per my last review, pop in and sit for a few.

Very classy joint here. There selection of meats and cheeses are impressive. I like how they have wines and beers in shop to pair w the items and there’s a small sitting Area to sit at for a tapas evening on a date or intimate outing. Very friendly owner who knows a lot about the products. When on ossington strip and needing a nice piece of meat for dinner or even a nice meat n cheese Sammy on the run this is your place!

A little pricy for my taste. I recommend this place for their sandwiches. An expensive sandwich at $ 9, but you won’t regret it.

LOVE pretty much everything I’ve tried here. All time favourite — their signature Côte de Boeuf (bone-​in prime rib).
Last winter holidays we didn’t reserve in time and went to Whole Foods instead — same price/​lbs, also grain-​fed, etc. Pls see photo below, night and day (the one on the right is from Côte de Boeuf).
Management staff and butcher is super knowledgeable, I frequently pick their brain on how to prepare the goods. For the most part, very friendly staff, but doesn’t hurt to keep an eye out on what they’re charging you when they ring you in, some of the more junior staff just overcharges you for items they don’t know the price of.

This place has delicious sandwiches with terrible customer service. They’re plain rude. It’s the kind of place that treats you so terribly (especially if you call and they’re out of something), but you go back because it tastes so damn good. Get there early, because if you want something after 2:30, you’re treated like a dummy. This has happened to me on several occasions, compelling me to post about it. Cd’B has the potential to be loved, but so many of us in the community feel the same way.

We did one of those special course dinner things here at the big table with about 10 friends and omg it was honestly one of the most memorable meals of the year.
The wine selection was on point and the dishes were simply amazing.
I expected the dishes to be so so and the main (meat) course to be the shining star but I was wrong. The appetizers and everything else that came in between ROCKED.
The ceviche dish which came as an appetizer simply was the best! I had to seriously talk myself out of licking the plate when I was finished with it.
The meat course was perfect and the service also perfect.
I would do this again in a heartbeat.

If I worked in this area, I would eat here every day! The sandwiches are generous, delicious and reasonably priced at well under $ 10 for lots of meat and great bread. The sandwich variety is very good too! Since I don’t work here, I only get to try the sammies on weekends, and I have! I’ve brought them to Jays games, music fests and the park. Can you tell I am a HUGE fan of these sandwiches? Pulled pork, smoked meat, salami, whatever is on it, I’m buying.
Cote de Bouef is not just about sandwiches. They sell other prepared foods and amazing slabs of meat. The burgers we got from here this summer were the best I’ve ever had. The pates and terrines are delicious.
They even sell vegetables in season, eggs, and various high-​end condiments. They also serve private dinners if you call in advance!
Great addition to the neighborhood. mmmmm

Fresh from the farm or fresh from the butcher? You will find it in at Cote de Boeuf.
Foie Gras pâté ($ 12) has my name on it. Or duck confit and even a whole duck.
Lunch offers with home made soup and sandwich. Cheese please.
Pork lard in a bottle. what should I do with that? Possibilty is unlimited.
