If you are going to sell premium freshly butchered meats, you may as well have a beautiful space from which to sell it! Partnering with Tom and Caitlin Moriarty and the team at West End Interiors, we had a lot of fun turning an old car sales office on Elmwood Ave into the coolest whole animal butchery in Buffalo.

The layout provides a space for everything, from a bright and airy front of shop with lots of display space, to a highly visible butchery workroom adjacent to the walk-in cooler, where you can watch Tom work his magic. The design and finishes of the space are inspired by traditional European butcheries, with exposed brick and a large wood framed storefront, which was rebuilt based on photos of the original building. The space had to be simple and organic, reinforcing the ways of the traditional French butchery, creating minimal wasted space.

Beyond being just a butcher’s Shop, Tom and Catline have added the Café Bar in the adjacent former Vino’s restaurant space, where fresh local foods can be savored, and the fun of social interaction can be enjoyed.
