Fresh Cuts.
At Macelleria Bondi, the Butcher’s Counter is more than a showcase of exceptional Australian meat – it is the beating heart of our restaurant, where craftsmanship, provenance, and the genuine connection between farmer, butcher and chef come together.
This is where your meal begins.
A Direct Link to Australia’s Best Farmers
Our relationships with Australia’s most respected farmers run deep. For nearly a decade, we’ve worked closely with producers who share our commitment to ethical farming, sustainable land management, and premium quality livestock.
These partnerships allow us to secure consistently exceptional beef – raised with care, nurtured on open pastures, and handled with respect at every stage. Every cut on display has a story: where it was raised, how it was cared for, and the standards upheld by the people who produced it.
Premium, Provenance-Led Meat Selection
At the Butcher’s Counter you’ll find an ever-evolving selection of Australia’s finest beef, including:
- Grass-fed and grain-finished beef
- Pasture-raised, hormone-free cuts
- Wagyu with outstanding marbling scores
- Dry-aged steaks aged for a minimum of 30 days
Every steak we serve – whether for dine-in or takeaway – is hormone-free and carefully aged to develop depth, tenderness and flavour. Our ageing programme is maintained with absolute precision, allowing nature, time and skill to elevate each cut to its peak.
Craft Butchery, Done the Right Way
At Macelleria everything is prepared to showcase the natural character of the meat. If you’re unsure what to choose, our team is always on hand for advice – whether you’re planning a family BBQ, selecting the perfect rib-eye for dinner at home, or looking to explore something new.

The Butcher’s Counter is designed not just for diners but also for home cooks who want restaurant-quality meat on their own grill or pan.

Butcher's Counter FAQ's
Can I buy raw steak to cook at home?
Yes. Every cut on our menu is also sold raw at the butcher’s counter, including dry-aged steaks, Wagyu, lamb and our house-made sausages. Our butchers cut to order, so ask for the thickness or weight you want. If you buy raw at the counter you receive a 30% discount off the ticket price.
How does the 30% discount work?
Uncooked cuts from the butcher’s counter cost 30% less than the same cut cooked on the menu. For example, a 250g scotch fillet costs $49.90 grilled and $34.93 raw. The discount applies to every cut, every day.
How long do you dry-age your beef?
Our steaks are dry-aged in house for a minimum of 30 days, and most cuts age 4 to 6 weeks. Ageing concentrates the flavour and makes the meat more tender. The Portoro rib-eye Delmonico on our menu is dry-aged 42 days.
Is your beef grass-fed or grain-finished?
Both. We stock grass-fed beef and grain-finished beef, and all our steaks are hormone-free. Our Wagyu is chosen for high marbling scores. Ask the butcher which farm each cut comes from.
Where does your meat come from?
We buy direct from Australian farmers we’ve worked with for nearly a decade. Every farm meets our standards for ethical farming and sustainable land management. Buying direct lets us trace each cut back to the farm.
Can I order cuts ahead for pickup?
Yes. Particularly if you are requiring big volume we encourage you to secure what you need by calling 0473 947 834 at least 24 hours ahead, and we’ll have your cuts ready at the counter.
