Perth’s best butchers
Forget the deli section at your local big chain supermarket. Pillars of the local community, butchers have been a big deal since forever, and it’s time you reconnect with your local.
Come for the high-quality meat products, stay for the lifelong friendships and sneaky slice of free polony.
Meat & Mains
These days, Mount Hawthorn just can’t miss! The suburb has seen a huge boom in amazing eateries of late, so it only makes sense that their produce is equally on the up. Enter, Meat & Mains – selling restaurant-grade, sustainable and locally-sourced produce, it’ll transform your home-cooked dinners into something truly special. Or grab one of their pre-prepared meals and make weeknights even easier.
Shop 10, The Mezz, 148 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn
Frank’s Gourmet Meats
There’s as strong case for Frank’s on Wray Ave as being the finest Freo has to offer, and we’re not here to argue! Sitting pretty next to Galati & Sons for over 20 years, they service almost 40 restaurants around Freo, specialise in a huge variety of sausage flavours, and understand the importance of organic and free range stock.
17 Wray Avenue, Fremantle
Olsen Butchers
With two established venues in South Perth and Roleystone, it’s fair to say Olsen truly are the “Family Butchers”. A second generation butcher delivering quality meat since 1989, you absolutely must grab yourself one of their incredible sausage rolls.
79B Angelo Street, South Perth
21 Jarrah Road, Roleystone
Frank Torre’s Butchers
Basically any butcher worth the salt they sprinkle on their delicious meats offer service with a smile, but Frank Torre’s on Bulwer Street may just provide the biggest. Always friendly and super helpful when you’re having trouble deciding in the face of so much quality meat produce, there’s a reason most of North Perth make the trip to Frank’s when they can.
318/322 Bulwer Street, Perth
Torre Butchers
Ask just about anyone about butchers in Perth, and Torre in Northbridge will just about always top the list. Since the early 1950s they’ve been running the game in their Lake St location, with the Torre knowledge, skills and passion continually passed down from generation to generation.
41-43 Lake Street, Northbridge
Churras
Specalising in South American-style meat cuts, Churras have been servicing the Northbridge massive for years. In addition to a delicious array of meat products, they also offer a heap of special sauces and rubs, along with a few South American curios to keep things spicy.
149 Brisbane Street, Perth
Barbaro Butchers
Along with forming decades-long relationships with local suppliers to ensure the highest quality produce (and a few awards along the way), Barbaro even manage their own farm to enhance that paddock-to-plate attitude only the best can provide. They’ll work with you on whatever kind of cuts and seasoning you’re after, and don’t mind slinging you some complimentary marinades or prep techniques on the side.
Shop 2/120 Cockman Road, Greenwood
Troy’s Meats
If it’s low and slow you’re after, Troy’s Meats AKA The Secret Butcher is the place to go. Specialising in barbecue and specialty cuts, they also do bulk beef orders and are a wholesale supply store too. One little gander at their Instagram and you’ll be headed in there in a heartbeat.
Unit 11/361 Warnneroo Road, Balcatta
P.Princi Butchers
After his father Pasquale ran the Perth butcher game in the 50s (after several generations in Italy before that), Joe Princi has elevated himself from butcher to meat master at his Bicton store. Specialising in nitrate- and gluten-free products, they service a heap of local restaurants including Leeuwin Estate Winery, so you know it’s all quality.
Shop 10/258 Canning Highway, Bicton

They put a lot of care and effort into selecting only the best quality stuff, and that continues into the shop front with a smile and top shelf service.
