Butchers meets supper club at Stuttgart's Meat Club
The Meat Club
The first rule of Meat Club is…. eat a whole bunch of meat. You can probably guess the second rule. This upscale butcher sells prime cuts, naturally, and hosts mouthwatering events like ‘professional meat tastings’ for up to 16 guests.
The Pig Museum
Stuttgart’s Pig Museum goes the whole hog with over 50,000 artefacts and displays exploring every imaginable facet of mankind’s complex and ancient relationship with our delicious porcine bros.

The Butcher’s Museum
If you have an enquiring mind and a strong stomach, the Butcher’s Museum a half-hour drive away in Böblingen offers an overview of local tradesmen’s chops, with special emphasis on their historic guilds.
