Hanging from the after-effects of a brilliant night out, I was pressed into service as a suffering…read morepassenger on a sunny Saturday morning car ride to gather the elements of the perfect post-party brekkie. While I could grumble about the rocking motion of the car, I couldn't say a bad word about the good things going on in Ennis Butchers. Organic, well stocked and staffed by real pros, this is the place for perfectly smoked rashers, tasty puddings and sausages that could save lives. And I'm just getting started... When Ennis Butchers say they're passionate about food, they aren't kidding. Beyond that long case of gorgeous meats and fish, shoppers can pick the perfect wines, fresh breads, condiments, organic vege and milk plus other edible accoutrement to a seriously delish dinner (or in my case, a breakfast fit for a party queen). While some of the more sumptuous options are pricey, as to be expected with the dry aged or freshly caught, the every day breakfast goods ring up for far less than commercial goods - and are so much tastier.

For a butcher to survive in today's economic climate, they'd want to be damn good. In short, Ennis…read moreButcher's are. Really great quality stuff, from straightforward cuts of meat, to more elaborate pre-made dishes to feed the entire family. I'd recommend going maybe once a week or fortnight and stocking up. There are great deals and if you're getting a big order, there might be a bit of wiggle room on the price. Grab a few of the sausages, perfect for a lazy Sunday morning, and cheaper than your average breakfast roll.

As sure as you know that the rain will come, you know this place will be here. The cuts of meat are guaranteed to be the best you can get and the extra smile you get with your service makes them seem even better. The prices are also cheap compared to those of your chain grocery stores and you know that you're getting a much better quality cut.

FX Buckley on Talbot Street is a great place to buy meat. So much better than Tesco or Dunnes Stores. The prices are more affordable, the cuts are superior and the staff is on hand to make recommendations and suggestions. This particular shop gets a lot of customers. I know neighbouring chefs who buy here for their restaurants. If a professional is buying FX Buckley then it has to be good for ordinary people like you and me.

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!

The meat here is quality stuff and they will cut it into whatever configuration you ask for. It recently set up a sandwich counter at the end of the shop, which is grand, but strangely doesn't seem to offer any of its own products (cooked obviously!) as fillings, just the usual cheese, coleslaw etc. It's fine, but nothing to write to Heston about.

I cannot fault this place. Such a great local butchers…read more Super friendly staff. Immediately wanting to have the craic with ye. I can just imagine them having the mega LOLs with the local Grannies. There's a sense of community when you walk into this butcher. That may sound odd but this is the feeling I remember as a kid walking into local butchers with my Mam around Stoneybatter and Cabra. The array of meat on offer is amazing. They have lots of deals with mix n' match products that are freshly prepared and wrapped in foil trays ready for the oven of regular packs of other meats for frying or grilling. BUT the main reason I come here? Their SAUSAGES! [and by that I mean their own brand breakfast sausage.] Best god damn sausages in the whole entire world in my opinion. I have even bought gifts of these sausages for presents for people living on the south side. Yes you heard me. I bought a pound of sausages as a gift. That's how good they are. I buy them every weekend. So if you are lucky enough to purchase sausages from here I recommend heading across to Clarke's bakery across the street and buy some still warm fresh bread to make a mountains of sausie sambos!

The meat is prepared on premise and if you call ahead they can cut you any specific cut. We used to go there very regularly since the nearest shopping mall was just around the corner, so I was really disappointed when we moved to the South side. But they were really helpful and offered to deliver if we had a big order. The meat itself is just unreal. If you want the best steak ever, go and try their 21 days aged steak, You won't want anything else ever again... EVER. If they don't have any on display, just ask for it, they're always happy to cut something up for you, or have it in storage in the back of the shop. I also had ribs, whole chickens, pork shoulder, pork steaks and so on, and was never disappointed. Apart from the fresh meat you'll find some marinated products, but I've never tried those. Last but not least, they close fairly early on a Saturday and are closed on Sundays, so better make your way down early.

They do all the boning on site, which means the meat is super fresh, and ask nicely, they'll even throw in some bones for the dogs! I won't go anywhere else for meat
