Find a quality meat shop or gourmet butcher
Whether you’re planning a family dinner or a date night, take a look at these meat shops and gourmet butchers. They offer everything from pork sausages and premium wagyu steaks to free-range chicken and good quality meat for barbecues. Here’s where to go for an A-grade butcher in Singapore – online and in-store.
Huber’s Butchery & Bistro – gourmet butcher in Dempsey Hill
At the foot of Dempsey Hill, you’ll find Huber’s, a farmhouse-inspired space spread across 14,000 square feet. It’s part gourmet butchery, part bistro, and all about thoughtful sourcing.
Inside, counters showcase more than 100 cuts of meat – free from growth hormones and antibiotics – alongside house-made sausages with no MSG or fillers. You’ll also find cold cuts, cheeses, pantry staples and an extensive wine collection.
There’s plenty happening behind the scenes, too. Sausages are made fresh every day, dry-aged beef is cut to your liking, and the “meat concierge” of professional butchers can talk you through your cuts. Handy perks like next-day delivery and 24/7 collection lockers mean you don’t have to time your shop around opening hours.
Next door, Huber’s Bistro offers a casual, open-air dining space where many of these products appear on the menu. Chargrilled steaks, house-made sausages, and sharing platters are served alongside wines and beers, while a large outdoor playground makes it a popular stop for families.
Sustainability is central to their ethos, too. Ethical farms supply the meat, food waste is turned into compost for the gardens, and solar panels power the site – all of which earned Huber’s a BCA Green Mark Gold Award. Spot the recycling points and EV chargers, and you’ll see their eco-commitment goes well beyond lip service.

Little Farms – a grocer with dedicated meat counters
For meat lovers, a great cut begins well before it hits the grill and, at Little Farms, the belief is simple: good food starts with good farming. The grocer works directly with trusted farmers to source meats that are ethically raised, high in animal welfare standards, fully traceable and free from unwanted additives.
At the brand’s dedicated butcher counters, spread across neighbourhoods from Sentosa to Serangoon Gardens, you’ll find everything from Australian grass-fed O’Connor beef to free-range Bostock Brothers chicken and Tasmania’s Roaring Forties lamb. For those short on time, a chilled selection at Tanjong Pagar and Raffles Place makes it easy to stock up for barbecues or weeknight dinners.
Regulars also rave about the handmade sausages. They’re preservative- and nitrate-free – ideal for bangers-and-mash night! Some of the butchers on the team were once chefs, too, and they’ll happily share cooking tips or guide you in choosing between a belly or shoulder for your next pulled pork recipe. They also offer a free marination service.
Locations at Tanjong Pagar, Valley Point Shopping Centre, Katong Point, Tanglin Mall, myVillage, Holland Village, Sentosa Cove and Raffles Place.
Ryan’s Grocery – grocer and butcher in Singapore
When it comes to meat in Singapore, Ryan’s Grocery is hard to miss. Since 2015, it’s been the city’s only full-service organic butchery and allergen-friendly grocer, known for premium cuts with a conscience. On the counters you’ll find The Organic Meat Company beef, Borrowdale free-range pork, Warilba organic lamb, and Roundstone grass-fed beef – all certified carbon neutral.
The brand’s ethos, “Grocer with a Cause, Food to Heal”, is more than a tagline. What started as a family-run business has grown into a multi-format operation. There’s a flagship at Great World, Ryan’s Butchery outlets, an online store, and Ryan’s Kitchen – where you’ll find the same quality meat for barbecues and more in a modern bistro setting, such as Toriyama wagyu and Australian free-range chicken.
Seasonal favourites are part of the signatures here. Think Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas roasts, or bak kwa at Lunar New Year. And, as they mark their 10th anniversary, the accolades keep stacking up. In 2025, Ryan’s was named an Influential Brands Top Brand – Premium Food Purveyor. Expat Living readers, meanwhile, voted it among the top five in Singapore for Best Butcher, Best Health & Organic Grocer and Best Grocer.
