Crombie's is a darn impressive butcher located on Broughton Street. I come here when I want to feel…read morefancy at dinner time (and when I have the cash to spend). I've bought an amazing lamb rack, steaks, sausages and short ribs from here. All of which have been outstanding. Firstly, the sausages. Crombie's are famous for them! And they are delicious. Well worth the trip just to stock up on sausages. Everything else, the quality of the meet has been great. I've recently purchased a sous vide machine so anything that can be slow cooked for hours is going from Crombie's butcher straight into my machine for hours on end. One thing, it's expensive compared to what you'd get from the grocery stores. I've found the quality to be way better but be warned- it might put a dent in your wallet. Great selection of marinades, ready to cook pies and other savoury pastries, and service is always friendly and helpful.

Crombie's is the best butcher in Edinburgh and luckily it is located just around the corner from my…read moreflat, hurrah! If you mention this place to any self respecting Edinburgh carnivore, they should acknowledge you with a contented sigh ("ahhhh, Crombie's") and a wistful look in their eye. Their sausages are widely regarded as amongst the best in the UK and they supply lots of local restaurants with them to keep the punters happy. There are many different varieties to choose from and they range from the traditional (pork, chipolatas, Scotch beef) to the exotic (boar, pork and stilton is an inspired and tasty combination). Asides from sausages, they do the usual butcher cuts of meat (steaks, lamb etc) and meals for you to heat at home if you can't be bothered cooking. Most of the meat is locally sourced and everything is incredibly good quality. It's just a shame that they close at 5.30pm, far too early for those of us with office jobs.

This butchers is first class so as far as I'm concerned its just called the 'Butchers' and the…read more'First Class' part simply acts as an adjective. The best thing about this butchers is the value for money. Not only are you sold superior goods, but at normal prices - why would you buy meat elsewhere? The main things to try are the sausages and pies. Both are truly brilliant and well worth the pitiful amount of money you will have to pay for them. I cannot recommend this shop more highly and it is well worth a visit.

The first thing that struck me about this place is how busy it is. They've 3 staff here, yet…read morethey're always busy and there's always a queue, which is always a good sign for a shop. I've never seen a butchers in my whole life this busy and this is because it is a very good butchers, especially when you consider it in terms of value for money. Prices start at just over £3 per kilo for ribs and the first boneless item comes in at just under £4 per kilo for some pork shoulder. As you move up the quality of the meat the price remains very good value for money as it moves up with the quality and this is what makes this place so popular. Put simply, this is one of the better butchers in town.

They have a chiller with a variety of pre-prepared meats, including Irn Bru sausages, which were on offer 3 packs for £11, or about £4 each. The staff were super friendly and chatty.

Maybe not for veggies though.

As the Qype user said, Dunbar's local butcher has the best steak pie that you will ever eat. The…read moremeat is tender and juicy, the gravy inside is a nice surprise and the pastry makes a nice finish! It is especially good if served up with mashed potatoes and peas. The shop itself is very clean and is in a central location, at the junction connecting the High Street with West Port. The staff inside are friendly enough and the meat that is on sale is of very good quality. Lately the shop has been a bit sparse but I suppose that it is summer, the time when Dunbar is especially busy with families on holiday buying dinner. The extra custom is good for business but it means that I can't get my hands on a steak pie as they have been sold out for all of this week! You should get a pie, sausages and some chicken and you will have a nice meat feast! It is also pretty reasonably priced as well with an upper price limit of about £15.

They do run out of lobster and there is always a line so be warned, but I would wait in line anyway for this glorious food.

Macdonald Brothers did not disappoint. The choice and quality they had on dispay was huge for what was a realatively small shop. We decided on venison burgers and fillet steak - it was maybe a bit pricey but it was the real deal. The venison burgers were very tasty and filling and the fillet steak was very thick and tasted excellent. The service was first class - the standard of hygien displayed was first class and the butcher who served us was so helpful and friendly.

The biggest (and most interesting, even though I don't eat meat) selection is found in the butchers. From haggis, through beef to boar with a sideline in steak pies, for the carniverous there is a good selection of what looks to be some good cuts of meat. Seeing as that section was off limits for me, I contented myself with some non local onion chutney and some local lemon pepper tablet. Lemon pepper tablet, you say? Indeed I do, and verily, it was delicious - an improvement on tablet itself which can be pretty sickly at times.

Order from the farmer direct so you can have at home!
