My brother first introduced me to Meat & Bread over a year ago. I was in Vancouver on one crazy day trip getting Indian Visas for our team going to Chennai. After spending three hours in the Indian Visa office I met my brother briefly outside his law office. I was tired and starving and he recommended I head over to Meat & Bread on Pender. I ordered the Corned Beef and one bite in, I was hoooooked. I dreamt about that sandwich for days.

So when I heard that Meat & Bread was coming to Victoria...I freeeeeaaaaked out.

Every time I'd walk down Yates I would try to poke my head in to see how construction was coming. Seriously, I'm obsessed. They finally opened on Monday and yesterday I finally got to sink my teeth into one of their incredible creations...Oh bliss.

All of us (Danae, Cristina & myself) had the special- Fraser Valley Beef Brisket and it was sooooo good. The place was packed and the decor is stunning. They're famous for their classic porchetta, which happens to be amazing as well.

When we were there, I kept saying to my friends, "I can't believe this is Victoria!!!" But it is. And I'll probably be back very, very soon.

Oh and check out how cute their takeaway boxes are...
