I googled where to buy it fresh and found Vic's meats. Vic's meats has a history going back to 1996 starting in Oxford st Darlinghurst. They have a "Market day" on Saturdays from 8am- 12pm. That's 4 hours to get your mits on some Top of the top quality meats at reduced prices. They supply to Level 41 Restaurant if you need a resume it back it up Noted selections included Grain fed T-bone. There was only one left by the time I got there at 11am. Wagyu.... Master. Kobe. 9BMS. What what? That's right. At the special price of $69.95 a kilo, and before you baulk, it's usually $110. Meat lollies! Wagyu burger patties, Wagyu Chorizo sausages, Wagyu Bresaola. Tomahawk. Fancy yourself a Viking feast? It can be yours for about 50 rods. If size does matter, impress the family at the Xmas BBQ with your cave woman sized Beef with full length rib bone in. Berkshire pork. Pork Belly, American Pork Ribs.. I mean Flintstone size again.. The Butchers themselves are in house and can give you advice and cut meat to your personal request. There is a sign up that says "Say Hi to Vic". Celeb status. Check! It's well organised, and although busy, you don't wait long to get served. Sweet talking Butcher, I know what I'm gonna do.. I'm gonna come back to you.

Wear something a little warmer than usual as they are located in refrigerated premises as you'd expect when dealing with fresh meat. Only open till midday, so get here early!

It's a small cafe tucked in a quiet street in Zetland. The menus offer comfort OZ style brunch &…read morebreakfast food with good coffee and quick service to match. The space inside is small yet comfy enough for convo over brunch. I personally love the Pulled Pork, apple sauce & coleslaw bun! And boy, do they make their Flat White fine! If you're around the area and looking for a good, fuss-free brunch, this could be one of your options.

If you're in Liverpool and sort of bored with Westfield, head on over to Liverpool Plaza! There…read moreyou'll find all the somewhat eclectic small-time clothing stores that couldn't/didn't make it into Westfield! There's also various cafes, milkbars and small restaurants/take away places, if you're looking for something other than the big chains. There's even a small bar/pub for if you fancy a drink. Notably, there are a heap of fresh food stores, which sell legitimately fresh vegetables and fruits, not the wilted 'fresh' that you find in Woolworths and Coles, and for a fraction of the price. There's a deli, a bakery and even a local butcher, who claims to sell free-range meats. I always find it's easier to trust local butchers than the big chains, personally. There's even a pharmacy and a toy store, so all the family's needs are met! There's a hairdresser, a beauty salon, a travel agent, and even a massage/reflexology parlour, if you just want to relax. I go here rather than Westfield, just for a bit of variety and local flavour.

BangBang for brunch is a good place to be…read more Signature dish is the 'BangBang' stack and is delish. I also recently discovered the BRAT (bacon, rocket and avocado on sourdough toast). The coffee is good and despite having a reputation of bad service, I've always had good experiences here. I'll be back. I have this place on my weekend brunch rotation schedule.

Wanted to try a different lunch spot around Surry Hills with a friend and stumbled across Bangbang…read more Found on hilly Reservoir Street, this place is casual and cool, with pretty great coffee to boot. They also offer takeaway. You can get your typical brunch items, but once 12pm rolls around you can order burgers/sandwiches as well. I ordered the cheesy wagyu burger with shoestring fries and it was decent. It didn't blow my mind but it wasn't bad either. The service is great, as the staff is extremely friendly. Some tables are shared as well and there's outdoor seating, definitely a place to kick it to kill some time. Would come here again.

One of the best places to grab a bite at Macquarie Uni…read more For breakfast you can grab a Campos Coffee and a made-to-order Bacon & Egg roll for $8. Their Bacon & Egg roll is really great. For lunch, I haven't been able to escape their Roast Pork Belly sandwich. Crackling goodness and fresh. Keep up the great work guys!!

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.

Jane Eyre is a new(ish) addition to the Balmain cafe set. It's in that little space at the back of…read morean open air arcade with brown tiles. In summer, this is a really nice place to sit - part shade, part sun, and out of the wind. The owners are incredibly friendly, and you get the sense that it's a family business. The coffee is fairly average and there is nothing particularly amazing on the menu, but I did like the fact that a) the owners were so smiley and considerate (they were worried that we were cold), and the biscotti was fresh, rich and full of goodies (rather than being stale and dry, like most biscotti around the traps). I liked it a lot - despite the Bronte name, this place is totally without pretensions, and it is certainly not a hipster hangout. But it would be a great place to steal away to and read a newspaper in the sun (if it ever stops raining). There is also a saxophone in the cafe, sitting around, just waiting for someone to pick it up and play it. You know, Fernside has a guitar, other cafes have chalkboards or paper tablecloths, but Jane Eyre offers a big shiny Sax for anyone feeling creative.

They also have other deli items including Himalayan salt blocks or tiles. It is conveniently located in the shopping centre near the food court. There was a butcher in this location before but as the advertising said they "gave them the chop" Hopefully, this mob don't end up with the same treatment as they are in competition with a couple of supermarkets.
