Of the two butchers in Nth Essendon, Florence leans more to the traditional Italian than the other. A big range or pastas & sauces, frozen fish, cheese, small-goods, and ofcourse lovely dry aged Victorian beef. In winter, its gets very busy because of the Italian pork season where everyone makes sausages at home. This is the time to get really cheap pork meat. Service is excellent. There is nothing these guys wont do for you. Prices are really good compared to major supermarkets, and the quality of the meat is twice as good.

This is a fantastic butcher in the North Essendon shopping area. The staff ae great, freindly and helpful; I was in there recenly seeking some gravy beef, and one of the butchers got a quarter of beef from the chiller and cut it up for me then and there@ Not as cheap as the market for meat, but the prices are good and the specials are great. They also sell briliant sausages, chops, fee range chooks and a range of other pantry items.
