Smoke Salt and Fire's favorite butchers: Sanagan's Meat Locker

If Uppercut in the St Lawrence Market is one of the best day to day butcher shops in town, Sanagan's Meat Locker on Baldwin Str. in Toronto's Kensington Market, in the space formerly occupied by European Meat Market, is an entirely different experience. I can't think of Sanagan's without the words artisanal and gourmet coming to mind. Seriously these guys take their meat to the next level.

The near pornographic marbling on Sanagan's steaks and the extremely high quality of all Sanagan's products are a result of one mans passion, when Peter Sanagan gave up a career as a successful chef to open a small butcher shop in Kensington it was clearly a labour of love.

Since moving into their current home they've added an impressive selection of charcuterie, as well as a sandwich bar and meat pies.

The staff are friendly and willing to answer questions and make suggestions,and the decor is fun to.

If you're in Kensington and you love delicious meat make sure to stop by Sanagan's meat locker, whether you're picking up some steaks for dinner or grabbing a quick snack.
