About
Sardes Quality Meats is a butcher in the Meat and Fish Hall at Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne's historic open-air market on Elizabeth Street. The stall sits towards the bottom of the hall and trades on the market's reputation for fresh, well-handled meat from a counter where you can talk to the butcher about cuts.
The focus is on premium quality. Sardes is known for Wagyu beef and Flinders Island lamb, and styles itself as a one-stop shop for BBQ — the cuts, marinades and extras you'd want for the grill. Its full range is also listed through Queen Victoria Market's online platform, so you can order ahead for pickup or have it delivered across Melbourne.
