"A ubiquitous name on menus in Vancouver, Two Rivers Meats has transformed the city’s dining scene with its laser focus on ethically raised meats. The Shop, set in an unprepossessing spot in North Van, is its first venture into offering its choice cuts direct to consumers. Along with a butcher shop that looks more like a gleaming designer fashion store (snap up the house-made charcuterie for a picnic), the Shop gives meat fans the chance to enjoy hand-cut, dry-aged steaks cooked to perfection on the wood and charcoal fire. The tallow fries are a must-have, and the burger is perfection. There are even a couple of items for vegetarians, but the view of all that full-animal butchery behind the glass panels may be a bit hard to swallow for some." - Nikki Bayley
