50 Years in Business

Our Story
We’re very proud to be the most awarded gourmet butcher shop in Australia — and we’re incredibly passionate about our craft
With over 50 years collective experience and 200+ awards, our gourmet butchery proudly supplies only the highest-grade Australian meats across our award-winning shops.
All our Sausages are made daily using fresh herbs, with only natural casings and are naturally gluten free and preservative free. We’ve perfected our sausage recipes using far less fat than other butchers – only a modest 12% compared to the usual high fat content.
Our award-winning top-quality Beef is locally sourced and grass fed. Our dry aged Steaks are aged in our specially designed Himalayan salt brick Dry ageing room for 21 days.
Tender Gourmet Lamb too is locally sourced and always free range and grass fed. Our Chicken is the highest quality and guaranteed chemical & hormone-free. So, the meat you eat is always as healthy as it is tasty! Gourmet pre-made meals and sauces are preservative free and are made fresh, daily from only the very best ingredients.
We also have a wide selection of gourmet and traditional salads to choose from which are also freshly made. At Tender Gourmet, our team takes pride in providing exceptional service, expert knowledge and the finest cuts from a true gourmet butcher. Visit us in Hornsby, Bondi Junction, Eastgardens or Macquarie Centre.
