I even know non-Muslim people who frequent this butcher for its quality Australian produce. They take orders via phone or email and they provide meat for big Muslim feasts! So meat-lovers take note, if you're looking for a juicy steak or a fat chicken to roast make a stop here because seriously, not all meat is the same.

The Vermont South Delicatessen is a cacophony of smells and sounds. There is a generous array of…read moreherbs, spices, cheeses, meats like salami and sausages, nuts, pasta and continental groceries. The staff in here are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and they are happy to share. They love answering questions, providing info and giving taste tests to back up their explanations. The shop is often quite busy and runs on a number service system - make sure to grab a card from the counter or you'll be waiting a while. My Mum loves this place and is always popping in to get herself a treat for an afternoon snack or dessert platter. It is a great place to go to get some good nibblies for a party or special event. The staff are happy to put together a package for you without making you spend a fortune. Give them a try.

But I came away with oh so much more. Breasts, rumps, thighs, bellies and a pretty nice rack of lamb. You see the Gourmet Meat Rack just has everything. And the shiny lights that are scattered throughout the store with specials and suggestions just worked to excite me even more. In fact I was so excited by the time I left the Gourmet Meat Rack that I had to go and sit down for a bit. You see it is not every day that you come across so much meat in one place. And I'm talking good meat too. All kinds of pieces of meat. And the best thing is that it is all for sale!

This incredible Northcote butcher certainly has a nice rack. And breasts, and thighs, and more…read more Silly me had been buying my meat for as long as I can remember from nearby Coles but today, today I struck meat gold in the form of Northcote Plaza's very own butcher, The Gourmet Meat Rack. 30 odd different cuts of beef; chicken portions and cuts that you just can't find at the supermarket; beautifully marinated looking skewers and very friendly and professional service, The Gourmet Meat Rack has it all. I spent around $20 today but for that came away with three ginormous chicken breasts, a handful of beef ribs and a giant piece of sirloin steak. The Gourmet Meat Rack is arguably better value than Coles and the meat looks fresher and is much more prettily displayed. A no brainer really.

The Continental Butcher is not so much continental as just another butcher. Sure, they sell pork…read moreand fennel sausages, but who doesn't these days. They also probably don't marinate their chicken wings in teriyaki sauce. But there is nothing that I can tell that particularly makes this butcher continental. The Continental Butcher doesn't really seem to offer anything other than what you can get at any supermarket or market stall. There is nothing particularly bad about the fact that this particular butcher is nothing too special. It is reasonably priced and I do prefer to buy from these guys rather than from the supermarket. It's just that I sometimes lament the fact that you can't get some more interesting cuts from butchers, as well as maybe some more interesting kinds of meat. When I first saw the sign mostly written in Greek with the only English words written "Continental Butcher" I guess I was expecting something a little bit rustic and old school.

There's obviously nothing wrong with going to nearby Coles to buy meat, but Continental Butcher is arguably cheaper and just as good and if you're after sausages? There really is no question. Continental Butcher is the place to go. Selling a standard range of different cuts of chicken, pork, beef etc, Continental also does a fine line in some pretty gourmet sounding sausages containing things like fennel and sundried tomatoes. The flavour? Pretty good for not-too-expensive sausages. A little gristley but good all the same. Ok, this place might not be glamour incarnate but when you're selling bits of dead animal razzamatazz isn't obligatory now is it?! A great local butcher; if you're a Northcote local you should check it out.

They are friendly This butcher feels squeaky clean to me, the windows are clear, the meat is in glad wrap and it makes going to the butcher just that bit more enjoyable. They are immensely cheaper than the Win Sam butcher on the opposite side of the road, and when you spend over $10 they give you free chicken bones! They also have a few freezers that contain prawns, dumplings and other Asian foods.

There's a small fruit and veggie section as well as a nice range of wine, but what I loved most of all was the compact deli right down the back, complete with neon diner lights spelling out DELI.

Being just a short stroll from Yarraville Gardens, this would be a wise pit-stop to stock up on cheese and charcuterie to prep a picnic.
