1. The Stockyards
Toronto, ON M6C 1B2
Canada
(416) 658-9666
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Barbeque,
Southern
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
Add another upraised thumb to the chorus saluting this meaty joint. Just writing this is virtually filling my nostrils with the smell of their crispy fried chicken. Three of us snagged a window seat and split the buttermilk fried chicken, the pulled…More »
2. Black Camel
I wasn't even planning on eating at Black Camel. But after emerging from Rosedale subway station (and how many times does that happen), I saw that ebony dromedary beckoning me. Is it time for a sandwich? I looked at my watch: yes, it was meat…More »
3. The Burger's Priest
Toronto, ON M4L 1G3
Canada
(647) 346-0617
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
I returned to pray at the Holy altar of meat. Instead of The Priest however, I went for a more modest "cheeseburger". Still took about twelve minutes, and I left stinking like a deep fryer (there is literally oil mist in the air here), but that…More »

You gotta hand it to these guys; they know burgers. Located near Queen East and Coxwell, their… Read more »
4. Kim Bo Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2S6
Canada
(416) 603-7817
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Little Italy
Kim Bo is a Vietnamese restaurant situated in that weird, dull intersection of Dundas West and Bathurst. Whenever anyone mentions these cross streets I instantly YAWN (you will too) and struggle to maintain consciousness. There is absolutely nothing…More »
5. Barque Smokehouse
Toronto, ON M6R 2M3
Canada
(416) 532-7700
Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
First things first: Barque is pronounced 'bark.' Think dogs, trees, or tri-masted sailing vessels. It's not 'bar-kew' (like barbeque missing a syllable), though either way it doesn't matter. Your mouth will be too full of juicy meatstuffs to care…More »
6. Big Smoke Burger
Big Smoke Burger used to be known as Craft Burger. It turns out they didn't officially own the rights to "Craft Burger," and to play it safe they decided to change the name to a trademark they could secure. You'll note that nothing has really changed…More »
7. Corned Beef House
Toronto, ON M5H 1X6
Canada
(416) 977-2333
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Lookit: I've never been to Schwartz's in Montréal; and I don't want to hear any bulljive about how it's chemically impossible to infuse smoke flavour to meat west of Ottawa/Hull. I'm sure their sandwiches are good (possibly even great) but the…More »
8. Pamier Kabob
Toronto, ON M5V 2L1
Canada
(647) 352-2623
Category:
Afghan
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
When I hear "kabob joint" I usually think of a hole in the wall with years of painted over walls, missing floor tiles and indifferent service. Pamier Kabob is something different. It's clean and well-decorated (dare I say, almost classy) and has…More »
9. Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill
Toronto, ON M6H 1A7
Canada
(416) 539-8239
Categories:
Portuguese,
Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Dufferin Grove
After Kent P refused to shut up about the patio at Bairrada, I had to check it out. Everything you've heard is true: it rules. The patio is enormous, covered with picnic tables and well-shaded by towering trees. There is a large spit for roasting…More »
10. Let's Wing It
Toronto, ON M5B 1T3
Canada
(416) 596-9464
Category:
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Being so focused on the task at hand I didn't notice that the giant glowing plastic coconut tree at the entrance was gone and that Wild Wings was no more. In its place was Let's Wing It; a decidedly less kitschy and less wing-focused joint. The wing…More »
11. Hey Meatball
Toronto, ON M6G
Canada
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
With a name that screams "hey, meatball," lovers of ground up animals would be hard pressed to resist this new spot in Little Italy. This space was formerly a drug store (excuse me, a convenience store that sold contraband) so the transformation is a…More »
12. Marben
Six-thirty was kind of early for a dinner reservation I thought, but Marben is a fairly popular restaurant. As we checked our coats at the door I couldn't help but notice empty booths and tables in the seating area. "Good thing we made a…More »
13. Nosso Talho - Our Butcher Shop
Toronto, ON M6H 1M3
Canada
(416) 531-7462
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Dovercourt
Just your local Portuguese butcher. One step inside and you'll be overwhelmed with the smell of fresh meat. It's a classic take-a-number, gawk at slabs of animals and pick up a pound or two kind of place. Nosso Talho has been around since the…More »
