After doing some research into the benefits of pasture fed beef I decided to bypass the major…read moresupermarkets and find a butcher who can tell me where my meat is coming from. My expectations were surpassed with Brookvale Meats. Tender, pasture fed meat of incredible quality. The traditional cuts and quite a bit of 'fancy' thrown in. The Filet Mignon is to die for as is the shaved Wagu. Chicken, lamb, beef, free range eggs, gourmet sausages - you name it. Cheaper than Woolies or Coles and free delivery to my door. What a find!

nice to meat you! a…read morerare journey out of sydney's city centre in search of the lululemon outlet led me to chance upon alexandria and what this area has to offer! a paradise for meat lovers awaits! the entrance is via the f&b section and a turn to your right will be where bright coloured, free to wear, winter jackets hang. this can only mean it's going to be cold within, past the solid black sliding door! i opted not to and would not recommend you follow me if you are not in the least bit liking the cold. it's a great reason to celebrate the cold within as you know for sure the meats that you buy here will be nicely chilled! like a kid in a candy store feeling, warms you. where do i begin? fear not as the previously sentient beings are well organized, classified and displayed for your easy selection. from regular everyday beef to japanese wagyu, goat to lamb, venison, veal, roo, free range chicken and ducks, angus or aged, all abound. the best for me and travellers alike have to be that most meats on display are all nicely vacuum packed, just grab and go! you can also take in the freshly butchered canvas of meats hanging beyond and in the background as proof of the pudding. Or envy the huge aging box encompassing even more choice cuts! and when the cold bites and/or the basket fills, exit the cold room for other non chilled products! hoofs, hearts, liver, pet mince, tongue? the frozen section will amaze! they also have cheeses, cured meats, sauces and other produce. as for the meats you buy, a full range of bbq paraphernalia will get you ready immediately for a cook off! once ready to check out, the quick moving line will get you out the door in no time. just grab cardboard boxes, if you need, for your bountiful loot and don't forget to return that jacket you took when you entered! it was definitely nice to meat you!

If you want Meat this is the pace to come... MEAT! Meat…read moreGALORE!! #MEATATARIAN!!! Definitely do NOT bring a Vegetarian, and Vegans?! forget about it! They might pass out... (Me trying to be funny) I reckon if there is a cut of meat that exists they have it or will know about it. This place is huge, very well kept, spotless, brilliantly organized and most important of all...does not smell!! When you get here, the entrance is something else...literally like walking into a giant Meat Locker! They have jackets for you at the front to keep you warm while you struggle to choose your cut of meat from the enormous selection...Brilliant! Then there is the selection...again just amazing, memorizing, so much to choose from! So are the prices... High quality meat at affordable prices! The Australian Meat Emporium truly feels like a wholesaler that is open to the public, not just one of those catchy or quirky gimmicks. Just like their website states: "Australian Meat Emporium says is a retail outlet selling the finest Bindaree Beef products directly to the public at affordable prices". I'm just not sure what Bindaree Beef is...guessing something good? They also work "very closely with producers of other species of meat such as Cowra Lamb, Arcadian Organic Meat, Rangers Valley and B.E Campbell's Bruemar Pork." Australian Meat Emporium used to be called Establishment 218...just in case your were wondering

Sensational Sausages the sign says. Up in the window in large letters they brag about their…read moreflavoured bangers, they ignore their top quality meat and talk and their sangers! Well if you try their flavoured sausages you'll understand why. Not just beef but lamb, chicken, duck and pork - all are utilised as well as fresh herbs. Wonderful and flavourful combinations that will keep you going back. The prices are high but knowing that they were made by a butcher and not mass produced makes them special. If you want to buy them for a barbecue, make sure you're no doing the cooking or they will disappear before you get any yourself.

Fairly new addition to the Centre at Forestville it has to be one of the best displays of meat I…read morehave seen for a Butcher enough to draw me in and ask what the various meats were as it looked like a lolly shop with all its colours, shapes and sizes. The Coopers have been in the Centre for about 2 months. They are open for business when you see them in the shop which is usually around 5am in the morning. They are taking their christmas orders in early November which is pleasing as I want to be more organised this year instead of racing to Coles for a mediocre ham. They have a useful knife sharpening service and will make recommendations for cooking techniques if you are like me and have no idea what the best way is too cook some types of meat. Today I have chosen a bolognaise rib frangapanni pastry because well it looked fantastic in that display as part of this review I intend to describe tonights meal. I dont think anyone can walk past without popping your head in to at least look at the display, ask some questions the Coopers would be pleased to help or in my case - guide you to how best serve their offerings.
