In the past few years, we have seen a rise in the number of independent gourmet butcher shops popping up around the island. What used to be an old-school establishment has now been revived by these small businesses due to the increased demand in quality and ethically sourced food.
If you’ve just bought a new cast iron skillet and new kitchenwares in the hope of preparing your own restaurant standard steak, look no more, because we have found some of the best meat-festooned stores with quality ingredients that will satisfy your need for a perfectly home-cooked slab of fresh, juicy meat. These new-generation butchers are so going to wow you with the freshest, most premium cuts that you can enjoy at home!
Sidecar Sausages
The team at Sidecar Sausages is best at producing their very own handcrafted artisan produce that are fully flavoured with all-natural ingredients. Aside from imported fresh meats, the Australian team of butchers at Sidecar craft their own deli meats, all using the old-school style. No preservatives, stabilisers – nothing artificial.
They carry a range of fresh meats sourced from Australia and New Zealand. They also have fresh and frozen seafood including sashimi-grade Kingfish and Bluefin Tuna ($30.25 for 100g). Ready to eat items like Irish Beef Pies and Falafels are also available. However, if you can only choose one item of out of everything they offer, you have to absolutely get their artisan handmade sausages! These flavour packed babies are perfect for an intimate barbecue session. For those who prefers a milder flavour, check out the Australian Barbecue Snags ($16 for 500g) – a combination of beef and pork with really light seasoning.

Ryan’s Grocery
This premium butchery was founded out of the owners’ love for their son. His allergy to various food products prompted them to look around to source for good quality, natural food in Australia. It was over there that they found some certified small batch farm with some of the best meats. Their initial hunt for quality food has since became a business and they are now offering healthy, ethical and high quality produce for their consumers!
For a simple grill or barbecue, get the Carbon Neutral Premium Beef BBQ Short Ribs ($33.45 for 500g). This exclusively produced meat has a consistent and distinctive natural flavour. The cattle at this Australian farm are grain-fed naturally for 100 days without any use of hormones. If you’re looking to reward your family with a great dinner, the Wagyu Beef Whole Flat Iron Steak ($102.40 for approx. 800g) is a great choice. Priced affordably and super flavourful – you really don’t need much seasoning for this one. You just need a little bit of decent cooking skills, and you’re loved ones are gonna be so happy!
