  • TJ's is the best butcher in the Inner West, hands down. The dry-aged scotch fillet I picked up last Saturday was incredible — full of flavour and perfectly marbled. The team is always helpful and knows their stuff.

  • Been coming here for years. The house-made sausages are something else entirely — I always grab a few packs for the weekend BBQ. Great range of organic options too. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
