You can feel it the moment you step foot into Big Lous: this is a place dedicated to the traditional art of the butcher. The Railtown heritage building in which its located is home to its a long list, now a retail butcher operation, a deli sandwich counter, boucherie-based catering services, butchery classes, and an event and dining space. But like any self-respecting house of meat, its the product that really matters, and in this Big Lous excels; this shop makes it a priority to supply Vancouver with quality meats from award-winning farms throughout the region theres even a rumour theyre to be shipping in some whole wild boars early this summer.
