Boucherie Capitol

Capitol Butchers has been serving Quebec since 1957, but its roots stretch further—back to an Italy where quality wasn’t a luxury, just the standard. Founded by Antonio Le Donne, a butcher with strong opinions and sharper knives, the shop built its reputation on two pillars: top-tier local meats and carefully sourced Italian imports you couldn’t find anywhere else. His son Tony took over in 1995 and widened the scope without watering down the soul. The space got bigger, the service got sharper, and the offering grew to include house-made deli, hard-to-find pantry staples, and cuts that keep regulars loyal. But the core stayed the same: an old-school butcher shop that knows its customers and takes pride in what it serves. Whether you’re chasing the taste of the old country or just looking for a perfect ribeye, Capitol remains a reference point.
