A tribute to European boucheries, The Butcher Shop is both a neighborhood wine bar and a full service butcher shop in the heart of Boston's South End. Inspired by Chef Barbara Lynch’s travels throughout France and Italy, The Butcher Shop is the perfect place to have a glass of wine along with a small bite or linger over a meal of handmade charcuterie, antipasti and bistro inspired dishes.
Stir is our commitment to providing a resource for both food and wine enthusiasts and novices, as well as our colleagues. Each week, cooking demonstrations and classes on wine and spirits offer an opportunity to learn and taste in a convivial environment. Instructors and the curriculum draw from the talents and passions of Chef Barbara Lynch, Wine Director Cat Silirie, and their teams.
B&G Oysters is a modern yet classic take on the oyster bar. Located in Boston’s South End, B&G Oysters has a decidedly neighborhood feel, combining polished but friendly service with fantastically fresh seafood dishes and food-friendly wines. B&G Oysters has received many accolades over the years for its cuisine and wine program from publications including Boston Magazine, Food & Wine, and The Boston Globe. This subterranean spot draws energy from its open kitchen which is surrounded by a white marble bar. In warmer weather, enjoy dining on the stone-walled patio, a favorite outdoor dining spot in the city. We serve our lunch menu Monday through Friday from 11:30 am to 5:00 pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Our dinner menu is available starting at 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and at 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Boston’s South End has rapidly become a culinary destination in its own right. To find the neighborhood’s first Indian restaurant, look for the striking pink and gold windows of MELA on Tremont Street, a unique dining space that has struck a chord with residents here since the day it opened in 2007. The denizens of the South End are night owls, so MELA serves its full dinner menu – for eat in or take out -- until 11 PM nightly. But, it’s the abundant brunch buffet, served for just $12.95 from 11:30 til 3:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, that really draws crowds. The refreshing Indian themed cocktails at MELA’s mini-bar also win fans. MELA’s take on Indian cuisine is a touch lighter than most, including two spectacular Hot Stone dishes that allow diner’s to “cook” their own food on sizzling hot rocks brought to the table. Meat or fish available. Served with a green salad and a variety of dipping sauces, it’s virtually fat free and costs about $25 for two people. MELA also features several classic curries (goat, tilapia, lamb shank) in styles made famous in Madras, Goa and Kerala … and a hot tandoor oven turns out dishes like mahi mahi tikka, mixed grill, and almost a dozen tasty Indian breads priced at $3-5. You can easily spend a whole day in the South End, and MELA makes a fine option for lunch, brunch dinner or a late night snack. Come as you are.
