You wouldn’t think that a butcher shop would also be the site of a stealth high-end restaurant, but you also wouldn’t not expect to be able to eat steak or a really excellent burger in a butcher shop, accompanied by a glass of crisp biodynamic rosé or a light summer red from the adjacent wine shop. Not on the Eastside? Grab a fig and brie baguette sandwich or a sardine snack at that butcher shop’s cafe in Republic Square.
