After four years operating as a pop-up dinner club, the trio of islanders behind Meat & Noodle will open a butcher shop, bar and kitchen in town this fall.

Chef and butcher Lauren Garaventa made the announcement last weekend in an email sent to those on Meat & Noodle’s mailing list. She said the establishment will be called The Ruby Brink and will open in the Vashon Landing building at the northeast corner of Bank Road and Vashon Highway.

“The Ruby Brink is a space spurred from the dreams of three friends with a fundamental passion for food, farming, and community,” Garaventa said. The other two partners in the new business are Rustle Biehn and restauranteur Jake Heil, who have worked with Garaventa over the years.

The space will offer “sustainable access to well raised meat products, seasonal food for eat-in and take-out, comfortably exciting cocktails and a zero food waste and farmer direct approach to buying and serving food and beverages,” Garaventa’s email indicated, and “its foundation will be rooted in the values of Meat & Noodle and its intention to create nourishing fellowships through food, drink and irreverent hospitality.”

An opening date is not known, but there will be public open houses in the space later this year. Details are expected next month.

The Ruby Brink will be the first business to occupy the Vashon Landing building since Nirvana Bistro & Bar, which offered international cuisine and became a popular island eatery in its three years of business, closed in January 2014.
