Want to get the highest-quality meat in Dublin, but don't know where to start? looking for the best butcher? We've done the legwork for you by spending decades sampling the products of Dublin's best butchers. It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it. And we're pretty confident in our recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The faceless supermarket pre-packed meat display won't be able to explain the difference between different cuts of meat or which choice cuts are best for which occasion. There might be a greater selection of meats at the big box stores but that doesn't mean you're getting the best deal. Quality butchers can help you choose excellent meats <\/strong>for dinner at no extra cost to you. We all know these shops with the jolly wise-cracking butcher who keeps everyone amused while providing quality beef, pork, lamb, and poultry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dublin is really a series of interconnected villages, and the village butcher has always been the focal point of every village. There are many great quality family butchers in Dublin and we'll look at some of them in no particular order. These are Master Butchers, with a great range including free-range chicken, free-range pork, and some rare breed meats. Some even have an online ordering service with delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers want the highest standards of customer service, and hand-selected, grass-fed<\/a>, local produce they feel the supermarkets can't deliver. And these days, we all know that supporting local businesses is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to buy the best quality meat<\/a> in Dublin but you're not sure where to start, or you want to know which butchers in Dublin are the best-rated <\/strong>in the business, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to know your local butcher!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    FX Buckley<\/a> has been in business in Moore Street since 1932 and has four other shops around Dublin City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are looking for some of the less fashionable cuts like tripe, oxtail, tongue, and beef cheeks, this is your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They have meat counters in some high-end specialist grocery stores too. And of course, there is the famous FXB restaurant group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fenelons, Stillorgan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Another landmark butcher shop is Fenelons<\/a> in Stillorgan. They were the first butchers in a shopping centre in Ireland when the first shopping centre opened in 1966. Fenelons has won the Craft Butchers Shop of the Year and have awards for their spiced beef and dry cured bacon made from free-range pork. An excellent fish counter adds to the attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Customer service is their strong point too. Check out the garlic leg of lamb for the definition of scrumptious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cosgraves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Beating FX Buckley in the longevity stakes is Cosgraves<\/a> whose story begins with Ellen Cosgrave in 1892. As their website says, “1892 \u2013 with 21 children, Ellen decided to set up a butchers shop at Eden Quay. After her husband\u2019s death at the turn of the century, the resilient widow opened another shop in Ranelagh circa 1901, and the family then opened a third at South Richmond street circa 1930<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are now four Cosgraves shops in Dublin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Side note: while not in Dublin, if we're talking about bragging rights, Furlongs in Wexford<\/a> can probably claim to be the longest in business as butchers since 1623. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
