It is unfortunate that giant supermarkets have now made a trip to the local butchers somewhat…read moreunnecessary and inconvenient. Now, there are butchers in every supermarket. That is why I consider it to be a novelty to have a butcher a few steps from my house. I like to go to my neighborhood butcher when I am making a special meal or am looking for something specific. This place is truly gourmet. They have top-quality meats of all kind. This butcher also carries a small range of gourmet packaged foods. The butcher (I never can remember his name!) is always there to recommend a specific cut for your recipe, or an entirely new recipe for that matter! I am forever grateful of his advice to me when it comes to roasting chicken breast. When you roast the breast bone-in skin-on, it will never be dry and remain tender. I always use this recipe whenever I make a Chicken Salad or a simple bowl of pasta with Chicken Breast. Now that it's almost Christmas time, I need to preorder my turkey!

I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles so the local butcher is not a familiar sight. I was…read moregenuinely uncomfortable walking in to the butchers. At first I even stood i on the sidewalk and just window-shopped the meat (like that was better.) Once I screwed up the courage to go inside I found some sausage I wanted and the butcher behind the counter was very helpful. It's the first time I have wanted the attention of a service person to offer help so badly. Anyway, now I've done it once I think I'll go there it again. Excited to see what it all tastes like.

Dural Poultry and Meats has wonderful poultry. They dress the poultry on the premises and they sell…read morefor much better prices than the supermarket. They sell loose or in 2 kilo bags. They also sell marinated chicken. Great if your having a party. They also sell the best cuts of meat and inexpensive mince steak. When they opened they sold just the poultry but everybody in the area kept telling them to put in meat as they were very convenient to people in the are which is a fair way from shops. They had a dispute with the council and it took them a couple of years to get a licence but they were finally successful and all the locals are now very happy. And, the word has spread. People drive from Baulkham Hills and Castle Hill to shop there.

There is a lot to be said for the Vietnamese butchers on Marrickville Road. The main thing is that…read morethey are so much cheaper than woollies, and cheaper than butchers in shopping centres. For example, where I might pay $18/kg for T-Bone steak in another butcher, or up to $24 in woollies, Vinh Hung is consistently low, around$12-15/kg. The rest of their meat is cheap too, with all kinds of cuts of beef, pork, chicken and lamb. Parking can be a pain but if there isn't a spot on the street across the road, then take the next right and there is 15 minute parking in that cross street. Plenty of time to walk down there and get your supply for the week.

A gorgeous butcher / deli in Cammeray. Their products are high quality and expensive. It's the…read moreplace to go look for a variety of dry aged and organic meats, cold cuts, sauces and condiments. They also have a variety of other food products and items from the fridge / freezer. I have been here many times and the quality is consistent. They often have different home made sausages and other ready to cook meats. I like coming here and buying ingredients for a BBQ or for some special meal that requires specific kinds of meats or other ingredients.

You would think that they wouldn't have a very good business but they do and it must be because of their great meat. Buying groceries you can go to any supermarket but people actually go back to where they used to live to go to a great butcher. All the meat here is halal and they offer more than beef and chicken. If you want a nice piece of goat which I know is a cultural thing, not many anglo saxon Australians eat it, they have it. They also wholesale direct to the public so if your looking for a side of beef for your freezer, they will package it up in selected cuts for you.

Heard about this place after attending a friend's BBQ out here in the West. It was some good…read moretasting Chorizos and the authentic dip was quite refreshing. Came back today on a quiet Sunday afternoon which allowed time for an informative chat with the owner and how the family had been in the meat industry for multiple generations. The Chilean population had been buying their meat requirements from Theo's for many years and you can see why. There is excellent customer service and the meats looked like quality product. I picked up a few varieties of Chorizo for a small BBQ - hot Chorizo, thinner beef Chorizo, the Columbian Chorizo and the mini Chorizos. I have to say, these are the best Chorizo I have had here in Sydney. The sausages were not fatty and the meat was definitely great quality. The marinated steaks and pork belly looks fantastic and I'm sure I'll be back to buy some next time!

A quality butcher in Balmain. For quality mince to make spaghetti bolognese I always come here; or…read moreeven for those mince patties. High quality meat, it must be organic, and the great news it is - better for you as well. Just way too fresh and why bother with the overpriced processed meat at the supermarkets. It is so worth paying extra here for better quality and more filling meat with personalised and pretty good service; well the latter has ben the case every time I have come to this establishment. Also I am not much of a bacon person; in fact I really despise bacon or any pig related meat; yet when I was at a friends house for brunch one Sunday morning I decided to give the bacon a go as it smelt so fresh as it was being cooked. Tried it; divine and I had to ask this particular friend of mine where she brought the bacon from, and she told me it was from TJ's here on Darling Street. It was like wow. The only butcher where I will literally "bring home the bacon" from while I was living in Sydney, and on those occasions when I come back to Sydney to visit and stay at the family home in nearby Rozelle.

So the meat you get here is top notch, organic, extremely good. And yes, it is incredibly expensive. The butchers are really friendly. One of them, Darryl, has known me since I was a baby. He remembers my name, and always asks about my family when I come in. Here's to hoping that TJ's won't get squeezed out by big chains.
