Frankie Harrington, Cord Jarvie, and Joseph Sartor are opening a new location of Meat & Bread – their third – at 721 Yates Street in Victoria, BC’s old Churchill Building. That’s between Douglas and Blanshard, so right in the heart of the city. It’s a heritage space – a little bit bigger than Meat & Bread’s Gastown location – and they have Craig Stanghetta reprising his role as designer. I don’t expect they’ll veer too far from the original modern-meets-heritage aesthetic, and the menu will still be anchored by their famous porchetta sandwich and either a vegetarian or grilled cheese. We can also expect a location-specific signature sandwich, much like Gastown has its meatball and Coal Harbour has its corned beef. They’ve only just taken possession and hope to start construction in early May for a July opening. Need work? They’re setting up interviews for core staff as we speak. Email your resumes to info [at] meatandbread.ca.
I for one welcome our new meat overlords… good luck guys!!!
Sorry, Pig.
one of the best places to get the meat sweats in van, Bring it on!! Can’t wait to have a the porchetta again!
Roast in the Hudson Market has been my go to. I hear meat and bread was good but it was always closed when i tried to visit it in Vancouver. Very eager to try Meat and Bread offerings. Will be a tough task to beat out Roast!
Decent food, kinda hipstery (quinoa on a sandwich, really…). Was brought the wrong order, so serving staff and sandwich-makers need to get on same page.
I think you can mark this one as closed?
