Southside Butchers

ballooba

Could anyone recommend a good butchers on the Southside?

I want to go at lunchtime, so if it's within short driving distance of Ranelagh then that would be great.

You should check the one out tha is just up from Mother Reillys pub in Rathmines, it has won loads of awards and it is class. I really recommend it.

Nice one. Doesn't look like there's any gems there though.

Anyone have a butcher they have actually used and has good quality tasty meat. Steaks, Chicken Fillets, etc.

Supposedly there is a good butcher near East Wall Road close to the Fragrant River chinese takeaway. His chicken fillets don't sizlle when you put them in the frying pan, i.e. not injected with water.

I don't know the name of that butcher's but it wouldn't be much good to me anyway as it's too far.

There is 2 in Terenure - Downey's and O'Tooles - both Organic with a truck full of awards between them.

Will check this out. Close to my house.

Will also check out the two in Terenure even though they are slightly farther.

Thanks a million for the suggestions.

I actually went to one on Camden St at lunch. It's right next to Ryan's pub.

We used it a few times in college so I said i'd give it a shot.

...other than my suggestion of Downeys (which Downtime just also mentioned) you mean

Mightn't be ideally close to you, but unless they've gone massively downhill.....its unbelievable.

One caveat...you get what you pay for. You want super stuff....it won't be Tesco's prices...

this isnt quite what you wree asking for but my local tescos and I presume all tesocs have a fresh meat counter and the guys who work there know there stuff and the meat is real fresh and nice. The steaks / beef is always VERY reasonably priced.

Sirlion is 8.88.kg and often on sale at 5.55/kg

Not all the tescos have a fresh meat counter, the smaller ones definitely don't.

I would recommend Lawlor's butchers on the Upr Rathmines Road, (it's in what's called Dartry Village, they're next door to Fothergills and a bunch of other shops) They're my local butcher and do excellent meat. Plus they've got loads of awards for their ready to cook stuff (I'd recommend the Meatballs, the Mediterannean Chicken and well pretty much everything) Their sausages are also fantastic.

My brother goes to the butcher in Rathmines which is just down from Slattery's pub and the old cinema. It's about opposite Burdocks I think. He thinks it's very good value and excellent meat.

I usually go to O'Toole's in Terenure and find them lovely to deal with and the place always seems clean. Not all of their produce is organic though. They don't usually have any organic chicken - I order that from the guy at Marlay Park market on Saturday mornings.

Courtney's in KCR are open to the public Friday and Saturday till 3 pm. Their steaks are some of the best beef I've ever bought. They're cheap as well. 5 10oz sirloins or 4 fillet for 20 euro. They do geese (usually frozen) and duck. 7lb leg of fresh spring lamb is 20 euro and the meat is fantastic. Large chicken breasts are 10 for 10 euro. If you give them notice, they'll get you anything unusual as well. They sell a load of processed stuff for the kids too but their butcher meat is excellent quality. On a saturday I spend about 300 euro because all my family and friends ask me to get their butcher meat.

That chicken cant be that good at that price, I'd expect to pay that for 4 fillets unless they are imported rubbish.

Was wondering the same myself, planning a trip there next weekend!

At a guess - Kennel Cross Road?

I think it's Kimmage Cross Road. Not far from Terrenure

The butchers in Rialto has improved hugely in the last year, he changed premises with the post office next door and has a much bigger space now and seams to be trying out lots of new stuff.

Cosgraves in rathfarnham village is good as is wilsons in rathfarnham shopping centre.

This sort of thing only serves to confused people. It's on the Upper Rathmines Road in RATHMINES. No such a place as Dartry Village.

I'm sure everyone has gotten over their confusion during the 4 years that have passed since the post.

Indeed. Zombie thread is locked.
