“A tribute to the old world European boucheries, The Butcher Shop is both a neighborhood wine bar and a full service butcher shop. Inspired by chef-owner Barbara Lynch’s travels throughout France and Italy, The Butcher Shop is the perfect place to have a glass of wine along with a small bite or to linger over a meal.
In the back of the dining room, glass-front cases are stocked with house-made links of sausages and hot dogs, jars of rich demi-glace, slabs of foie gras, and exquisitely marbled cuts of local beef along with freshly prepared dishes from the kitchen. On the butcher block is an ever-changing selection of accoutrements which might include bottles of a favorite olive oil and freshly baked loaves of bread. A butcher is on hand daily to help select the perfect cut of meat, game or poultry and to offer at home cooking tips.” (from The Butcher Shop website)
Beautfiul pictures, Brian! I have to say, this is really… I don’t know… arousing in a way.
Wonderful pictures, Brian! Although I have to say, the thought of duck liver mousse kind of grosses me out. Hmm. Interesting, but a tad gross to me.
MMnn. . . I loves me some vegetarians, especially when they blog about meat.
Si Dios no quiere que comer animales, ¿por qué ellos hacen de la carne?
You took some really great pictures here!
Gorgeous photos! I love it. It makes me want to come visit Boston.
I love those kinds of places! I will definitely have to check them out next time I’m in Boston.
Gorgeous photos – this guy is like an artist in his own way.
As close to Italy as you can get…wow! I wish there was a place like that here near me. I love the retro feel to some of those photos. GORGEOUS!!!!!!I have to disagree with Kim-duck liver mousse must be amazing. Guess it’s an acquired taste;)
Haha I highly expect that this is the most meat I shall ever see on your blog. Beautiful photos though.
This is really a nice snippet. I love the collage of the pictures really brings me to the place and I need to remember it when coming to boston:).
I’d love a place like that here!
What a cool place Brian, thanks for sharing. We have nothing even close to this where I live.
Oh man, I went to The Butcher Shop when my parents were in town about two weeks ago and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I am never in that area of town because I live all the way out in Brighton, but it turns out the South End kind of rocks my socks off.
Beautiful Brian! A snapshop at European/East coast life that I truly love!
These are some fantastic photos. All of them are exceptional but I really do like the photo taken from inside, looking out the window with the words of the business in reverse.
Keep posting, you are a true artist!

Beautiful atmospheric pics, of course, but my mind drifts to a practical point. Living in Czech Republic I visit the butcher often and there is an unmistakable aroma that, while not unpleasent in itself, I would have a hard time hanging out with a glass of vino in. Great idea, the wine bar part, just curious if it works out in practice.
Good point, Andrew. There’s something irresistible about a pile of meat. I kill my own and I love it. Now don’t think I am a freak or something. I just hunt and farm. We also sell beef and when we show it people, they literally go into a frenzy. I’ve seen it happen. I believe our mostly pescaterian friend Brian here had the same experience!
Not a place I expected you to post about and those photos of MEAT are fabulous. Guess you don’t have to eat it to take great pics of it right?
Looks like an amazing place…makes me want to schedule another trip to Boston. Soon.
Brian,
A picture tells the tale, and in the case it’s a delicious one. Lovely images, beautiful butcher shop and another great post. Great Silent Sunday edition!
Beautiful photos Brian!
Brian, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful images with us. I wish we had a butcher shop like this close to home, it would be a joy to shop in.
I hope you have had a wonderful weekend my friend.
Dennis
Love the pictures of that place, what a wonderful place to go!
Nothing beats good meat and my man would agree on that too. We have the Butcher shop here in Kuwait as well but I didn’t end up enjoying my experience so much as I expected, but I have heard all good things about it worldwide!
AMAZING! The photos tell a story. I wish I could visit this butcher and experienced all the goodies there!
Oh how I long for the day of a proper butcher shop in my city… Duck. Liver. Mousse. Mmmm.
Your photos are always amazing. I left you a Stylish Blogger Award at http://www.foodbuzz.com/blogs/3338083-award-and-an-update.
This place looks like a must visit for the next time I am in Boston.
These are such beautiful images and nice reminders of my favorite city… and hey, that butcher’s not bad lookin’ either (said from a happily married woman), haha!
Beautiful photos and beautiful place. I am envious that I live near nothing with such character.
I’m always in awe at how gorgeous your photos are! Once again, stunning photos!
Lovely photos!! I’m totally craving some meat… And a trip to Boston!
