Apart from all this traditional, old fashioned goodness, there's also plenty of trendy additions to the range, with gourmet pate, spices, sauces, curries and marinades. It's fantastic to grab some steaks, sausages and yummy chutney and head out to Brown Lake for a laid back day of swimming, barbecues and relaxing.

Formally known as the scary sounding "Flaschengeist",…read more Liqurious has transformed itself into a great speciality gift store. Known for it's intriguing combinations, This store offers amazing Liqueurs, spirits, fortified wines, oils and vinegars for you to fill up and take home in whatever size bottle you need. I remember being stumped for good gift idea's for my manly man friend, but after talking to the friendly sales staff I got to take home white port in a bottle that had a GLASS SHIP IN IT. (Needless to say it's so boss it still resides on the kitchen counter.) With liqueurs ranging from mango melon, pineapple, rose, limoncello, cognac and walnut, AND melon (as well as a yummy chocolate vodka.) This place definitely has you spoiled for choice. Now is the season for yuletide giving and If you're stumped for a unique gift idea this place is great alternative to that giftcard you were guiltily thinking of buying.

This is another of those fab little shops that I had largely ignored until one day, when I was…read morehanging in Adelaide Street waiting for a bus, I decided to pop in. And oh, what a place full of delightful, alcoholic things! But first there's the amazing oils (I don't cook, but even I was impressed). I totes wanted the Mandarin Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil to dress some of my Christmas Day salads with. Or perhaps even the Raspberry Caramelised Balsamic Vinegar to dip breads in? Then I realised that I was loitering right beside a huge bottle of chocolate Port. Yes, you read that right. It's Port and it's chocolate flavoured. You can even soak strawbs in it. Then there were the other amazing liquers, just ripe for adding into cocktails: watermelon, rose, mango, macadamia nut). I underestimated you, Liqurious. Respect.

Yum! If you like European smallgoods check out Adam's. Actually if you like all kinds of deli…read moredelights, this is the place to swing by. I buy fancy olives, spicy sausage and cheese here for get togethers, but sometimes drop in for a custom built salad sandwich; the smallgoods are all made without preservatives and are at their traditional best. There's knackwurst, smoked corned beef, leberkase, kassler and more. The chicken and garlic sausage is really good. Obviously these guys need time to make their smallgoods,as the shop closes at 3pm most days, so don't leave it too late in the day to drop in.

They have fresh meat and a huge range of juicy cuts. Really tender steaks. Meats on Mains have a smoke house actually on premises. Some of the produce includes lamb, hams, wagyu beef and hormone free poultry. Daniel is THE Meat Tray specialist and can also do bulk orders and home delivery. He is always up for a chat and takes the time to know his regular customers.

I will confess that a visit to the butcher isn't exactly part of my daily routine, in fact I think…read moreit's been years since I've been to one. I seem to recall that on my last visit to a butcher I was wearing my elementary school uniform and still referring to someone as 'mummy'. However, I still have a little bit of knowledge on the subject and I know for a fact that this particular butchery is big. I can only think of one other in Brisbane that may be larger (Patton's Big Gun in Underwood). The large room is spacious but lined with fridges full of every cut of meat under the sun (or protected from it in air-conditioned comfort). I didn't see any exotic meats, it was mainly variations of pork, chicken and beef, but they came in any shape or form you could possibly want. The room at the back where they prepare and package everything is also visible from the front, which I find somewhat comforting as well as a little gross to look at.

This is an excellent butcher with a good extensive selection of meat. Everything looks fresh and…read moreyou can see inside to where they cut the meat, everything is obviously kept very clean. Prices are very good, better than what you would get at Coles/Woolworths etc. We got cubes of goat and made a curry. It was delicious.

This butcher has great cuts of meat and super friendly staff that are happy to advice you on different cuts. I was having people over recently for a BBQ.

Fabulous place in trendy West End. Part butcher, part grocer, part Fromagerie this new venue is a…read morefeast to your senses! The Schulte family runs it and with that you're guaranteed amazing meats & small goods. The place also features a walk-in Fromagerie with a brilliant selection of imported and local cheeses. I'm of course biased t wards the Swiss raw milk cheese available there but there are many other brilliant options from local goats milk cheese to English cloth bound cheddar. There's also a The Source store as part of the concept and a bakery is also on the map.

So I moved from Clayfield to West End and left behind an award winning butcher and fruit shop…read more I was bereft. The weekend markets just shunt off old supermarket stock, and the local butcher... well, I was better off with the supermarket. Cruising along Montague I stumbled The Stores. There's a bar/restaurant at the entrance, and once inside you're greeted with a deli, fruit shop, butcher, dedicated cheese room, an organic whole foods store, and soon there will be a bakery too. I have to say it plainly. All the fruit and vege I've had has been sensational. If it's local, it will tell you where it's from. The butchers are Schulte's in the Lockyer Valley (yay, award winning butcher!) Basically, if you're near West End and you're after fruit, veg and meat, The Stores is for you.

This is a review for both locations on Adelaide St…read more 144 Adelaide St. has the 3 for $15 deal, 156 Adelaide St. sells drinks. 144 sells pre-measured goods, 156 is where you can scoop out your own desired amount. I tried their 56% iced chocolate drink at 156 Adelaide St., which was fantastic. Would definitely stop by for a chocolate drink any time I am back in Brisbane. Highly, highly recommend. I bought chocolates at 156 first. Everything I saw was $6 for 100 grams, but I didn't know what 100 grams of chocolate looks like (darn Imperial system) so I ended up getting a pre-packaged and wrapped pack of 4 random goods for $30. Mixed bag whether it's worth it or not. Buying the 4 packs separately would have been cheaper, but the milk chocolate-covered strawberries in the gift set weren't in stock individually at the 144 store.
