Founded by Anthony Puharich and his father Victor, a fourth-generation butcher, the business embodies a commitment to mastering the art of butchery while holding dear its core values.
Having garnered international acclaim and recognition as a world-class food destination, Victor Churchill expanded its horizons and ventured into Melbourne in late 2021. The new space was thoughtfully designed to spark culinary conversations and revolutionise the way we experience food.
