The Butcher Shop

Bravo
Sit at the bar and enjoy the people watching then pick-up house made chau. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts

Boston Magazine
When chef Barbara Lynch opened this South End boîte, she proved that slabs of fat-streaked, air-cured meats and stylish Bostonians make an excellent, if unlikely, pairing. Check the stellar wine list.

Chef Barbara Lynch's Butcher Shop really is a Butcher shop in addition to being a restaurant. Influences are continental, which is why there is a hot dog a la maison. [Eater 38 Member]

Best steak tartare in the world.

The Daily Meal
Wine Director Cat Silrie handpicks the wines and can suggest the perfect pairing to go with the housemade patés, terrines, sausages, and rilletes.

Special butter! Mmmmm, eat it.

Restaurant week tip: the pork belly is more tasty than the steak (though the steak is pretty good)

Raw cheese and good wine - what else could you ask for?

Rick V.
Try the Spicy Tomato Soup With Ricotta, Aged Basalmic And Toast. - I don't make tomato soup in California. But it is perfect on a cool Boston afternoon. (via @Foodspotting)

Since today (3/14) is Pi Day, this is where you should come to get lard for your pi(e) crusts

Christine L.
Amazing service & food. The lemon curd dessert might be one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Get a reservation if you can, and try the hot dog a la maison, charcuterie plate and steak tartar.

Chris S.
Let them do what they may! Recommendations are a plus at this place!

Rue La La
Inspired by travels throughout France and Italy, celeb chef Barbara Lynch’s famed boucherie gives diners a first-hand look (and taste) at her signature modern rendition of the Old World art.

Joe B.
Try the tomato soup!

Chas W.
Brussel sprouts are orgasmic

Kathryn Y.
The antipasti plate includes their amazing mortadella, prosciutto, soppressata, and more. Avoid the overly seasoned steak tartare.

The bartenders here are awesome. Ask for their recommendations on wine and food.

Scott L.
Best burger in town.

Steven B.
chocolate mousse = yummmm

Ray F.
Always busy and always delightful. The food is perfect and the wine list is a treasure. Even the bar requires a reservation on Saturday night. Great people watching in Boston's Southend.

The coulotte cut was amazing. Get the fingerling potatoes and make sure you try the raw honey they give you with soda bread to start.

Brian G.
Wonderful assortment of meats and cheeses. Ask your waiter for a mix of cheeses that pairs your wine selection. Personal favorites: Heinrich Red, Petit Jesus, Sopressata and Le Drean cheese
