Stumbled on this place in a panic, yes admittedly it is odd to enter a butchers in a panic, dead…read moremeat is not exactly conducive to calmer a person. It was last Sunday, the folks called, 'Annie we are on our way we decided to surprise you for Sunday dinner.' Which translates as, 'Annie we are on our way to snoop around your apartment and to see if you care enough to cook us Sunday dinner.' I woke with my pillow stuck to my hungover face when the text woke me. Stuffing the party paraphernalia of the night before in the washing machine in haze whilst sleeping bodies twitched at my feet. Once the clean up was done, the dinner panic ensued, this butchers signage welcomed me in. Once the butchers stopped laughing at me, they picked out the best cut of meat to cut in a hurry, they even told me the best temperature to put it at. Best of all they are cheap, I'm all about the cheap. The result was the folks loved it and believe that I am a well adjusted adult.

For example, on Fridays they get in these deliciously tender venison medallions in. They are so good that they are usually gone that evening. They do lots of deals for buying protein in bulk and have lots of other deals on everything from chicken fillets to steaks. The guy who runs the place is lovely as well. He is always ready and willing to give advice and recomendations on their meats.

There's more than a few butchers to pick from on Moore Street, but with FX Buckley's on the corner,…read morethere seems to be just one choice. Bigger, well stocked and thriving, FX Buckley's on Moore street is one of the last old timers still open in this traditional green market street. Just off Henry street and taking up three huge shop fronts Buckley's is cornering the market on speciality, traditional and every day meats. There's rashers and loops of pudding, sides of beef and shoulders of lamb. Over the summer I was a religious weekly visitor, snapping up their chicken fillet deal of 10 for €9.99 (while steering well clear of that case of tripe, livers and hearts). Things can get busy during the day so expect to queue for a few minutes while the missus ahead of you gets her week's order of steak mince. As in any good butchers, the white-coated professionals here are happy to dispense a bit of butcherly advice on cooking your purchase or if it's right for the recipe you're planning on!

Thank you for the recommendation, Fodor's! (yes, I bought their travel guide like a true tourist.)…read more My friends and I wanted to try some Ireland oysters because we heard they were supposedly super fresh. We were running out of time on our hunt to find them when I realized, 'I've got my trusty guidebook!!' And that's how we ended up here. It was 12 Euros for 6 oysters and a glass of wine. Since there were four of us, the lady was nice enough to give us 4 cups of wine (yes, plastic cups - it's a farmer's market, what do you expect!) They even threw in an extra oyster! SO FRESH! SO BIG! (cue that's-what-she-said joke). Compared to NYC oysters, these babies looked like they were on steroids! They also have this dipping sauce (had onions and was really vinegar-y, but good. But if you don't like the sour, you should just take the oyster straight.) Didn't eat anything else from other stands because we just had lunch. However, I believe they had shish kebabs, crepes, and bread. Oh and FYI - Sheridans Cheesemongers was there (saw this place on Anthony Bourdain when he went to Dublin so thought this might be worth mentioning). Definitely check out this farmer's market!

They also have a €1 corkage on Sunday through Tuesday nights when purchasing wine through their cellar. This ended up being a great deal and we tried a Bordeaux blend that we never would have discovered. It was delicious! We had olives, focaccia, Tagliatelle Bolognese and a la dolce vita pizza. All of those were special and prepared with love I would definitely return to the wine cellar. And recommend it to other travelers.

As mentioned by other reviewer, they have oil and eggs, which is very handy for locals there, I suppose. My own local butchers are cheaper, but with less options, that's why they are cheaper.

I've been going here for a few years (it's a related shop - same gang - to the Brady's in…read moreFairview). It's absolutely fantastic for meat of all kinds, whether you're buying prepared (homemade burgers, stuffed pork steaks, chicken), marinaded (they do a few different marinaded meats for either barbeque or stir fry) or just plain meat in all its glory, from hefty T Bones through to fillets of beef or legs of lamb. It's all local (from their farm), delicious, and delivered to you with a plethora of advice, commentary and gags from both the staff and the always-entertaining queue of people (if you want a slice of real Dublin life, stand in the queue on a Saturday morning and listen to the banter in there). They also do some cracking flavored sausages, and now even sell eggs, oils, marinades and a few other things. Brilliant place.

Adding to the slow return of better quality shops along Moore Street, Troy's has been serving up…read moresmall-town butchering services here for more than two years. Narrow, bright and clean, the shop does a brisk business in chops, minces and sausages by the pound. Much like FX Buckleys (but without the history or the local franchise) there's always a crowd waiting for their orders here -and the good humour behind the counter is a welcome change for shoppers used to the plastic-wrapped grimness of Lidl across the street. The prices are practically parallel with Buckley's, making this a welcome diversion -not destination -for grocery shoppers.

Some butchers would have a lot of "prepared for cooking" stuff, but here wasn't that much, which I preferred. Well, if you need something pre-made, you might just go to fast food shop. My advise is to buy meat here and only then go to other shop that you will be doing your general groceries. What I saw that amazed me, was giant hearts. That was some premium muscle, man!

Well, the latter was obviously a joke but I loved it nonetheless and the fact that this place is so close to my house. All the meat here is Irish and from some lovely green island off the coast of some county I already forgot. For 3 rump steaks and 2 chicken breasts I paid a tenner and left happy and with a promise to return soon.
