Sometimes the best “restaurant” in Dublin is not a sit-down affair; it’s the one that delivers healthy eating with ease and taste, especially when you are in a rush. I know the conflict all too well: trying to balance a hectic schedule with wanting to eat well usually ends with a takeaway menu in my hand.
I’m always on the lookout for quality food that won’t take hours to prepare, and I was hearing a steady buzz about one company that was changing the face of home dining, meal preparation, and diet management. This new series of blogs is dedicated to exploring the product, value, and convenience of famous restaurants and food shops of the Dublin. You will get all the latest news from Dublinz by following the Facebook and Instagram pages respectively.
For months, my own wellness journey was consistently tripping up at dinner. I needed dinners that were just the right size, totally reliable, and genuinely tasty, not just bland diet food. I wondered if the Dublin Meat Company could be the solution to that perpetual dinner dilemma.
Join me as I go to their various branches, and add my own bucket list of experiences to see if they do in fact deliver that quality and convenience that allows you to eat well without sacrificing your entire evening.
Dublin Meat Company Review: 5 Locations Tested
Dublin Meat Company- Stillorgan
The first stop on my quest for better dining was the Dublin Meat Company Stillorgan outlet. I was seriously attempting to slim down, and the major problem was getting reliable, healthy, portion-controlled food. Located at Unit 2, next to LIDL in Stillorgan Plaza, this place was off the mark right away with its whopping 4.8-star Google review count (48 reviews).
It seemed to assure exactly the quality and convenience I was desperately searching for. This restaurant actually has great food and service. I started with their evening meals, ready meals. They’re so beautifully portioned out, and having the macro-nutrient details available was a total lifesaver for me and my diet. The best thing? I could freeze the meat, and it still tasted great afterwards.
Having reached my goal, I’ve completely switched over to buying their freshly made burgers and other meat cuts, and the quality has remained flawless throughout. I was shocked at the prices and overall quality when I ordered next-day delivery. Their Fitfoods, as a matter of fact, have been such a pleasure while working from home. They’re absolutely scrumptious and super-fresh.
Honestly, this food has made dieting so easy for me, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone in need of a head start to get back in shape. They also stock fantastic protein yogurts, bars, and treats, and so it is actually a one-stop shop for all my healthy options. You can contact them at +35312108681.
Dublin Meat Company- Blanchardstown
Following my brilliant experience in Stillorgan, I was looking forward to trying the Dublin Meat Company outlet at Blanchardstown. You can find this outlet at Unit 2 Coolmine Industrial Estate, which maintains the same high level of quality at 4.6 stars on Google (118 reviews). This was the one that made me comprehend that this company is a true champion.
I absolutely love their Fit Food meals. I’ve been on a cut, and they make portion control effortless. I truly recommend them all since every meal seems top quality. As someone interested in ingredients, I always check for MSG, and happily, they’ve omitted it from their meals.
That is such an enormous difference when it comes to quality. Fair dos to them, their prices are bang on target! That is what I keep going back for. If they can raise the prices somewhere around €4.30 per meal, then they are a champion. I even discovered their fantastic deal of two beef steaks for €5. They are divine to devour, genuinely as good as a €20 restaurant steak.
This business has knocked the industry on the head. It even helped me to accomplish a carnivore diet successfully, for which I lost 9kg simply by consuming like an animal for approximately €7.50 daily! Oh yeah… if you are wondering about contacting them, just ring them up at +35318035850.
Dublin Meat Company- Drogheda
My last stop on my quest to uncover the secret of the Dublin Meat Company found me just outside of Dublin at the Drogheda location, which is located at 2 Dublin Road. This location has a great 4.6-star review (65 reviews) and nicely highlights the excellent community relationship this business has fostered.
I was glad to notice some of the friendly, familiar faces from the Northside shop working in this branch. Drogheda staff are always so helpful, and the whole shop is clean. They have a super range and a constantly changing selection of things. For instance, I sampled their new delicious stuffed pork steak, and it was absolutely first-rate. I also purchased some of their firecracker chicken, which was nice.
Employees here are excellent, and I especially want to compliment their response and support during difficult moments. One of the family friends averred that they feel so much safer shopping here compared to visiting ordinary supermarkets and have been banking on this store for everything they need (except for milk) to keep them going.
Indeed, on a recent large order, even the eggs were included gratis… a nice example of the genuine, friendly service. Good deals, great decision, and wonderful staff make this branch worth a visit. And as aspected they can be contacted at +353419834341.
Swords Branch
My final review for the Dublin Meat Company brings me to the Swords branch, located at Unit 1, Forest Road. This shop has an outstanding 4.8-star rating on Google (99 reviews), which perfectly matches the high-quality experience I’ve had across their other locations.
This is a lovely shop with great, very friendly staff and very reasonable prices for first-class produce. I’m a great fan of their corned beef, which is the best by a mile. I’ve even ordered my Christmas Turkey and Ham from DMC two weeks in a row now.
It’s genuinely top-class meat, and the convenience of having it delivered to my doorstep beats the lines at Dublin shopping centers to pick up orders hands down. I would highly recommend them; the meat has been lovely, and we have never had anything even remotely wrong.
The closest to a problem was when we ordered the largest turkey they could obtain one Christmas, and they delivered one so big that the legs had to be cut off to get it in the oven… far better than having to roast two birds for the special day! I also tried the new Fit Food line here, and it’s much more delicious than it looks, and it doesn’t look bad!
It does its job as an easy-cook meal perfectly and isn’t limited to just gym rats; anyone who wants a quick, healthy dinner will love it. Aside from the usual butcher’s staples, they also carry things like lasagne and pies, making it a great resource for all manner of convenient, quality food. They can be contacted at +35318903166.
Artane Branch
My previous detailed visitation of the Dublin Meat Company brought me to their Artane branch at Unit 5/6, Butterly Business Park. No surprise here, this one continues the brand’s incredible level of quality with an impressive 4.8-star rating on Google (122 reviews). This is among the finest butcher shops available, and it shows.
The staff are so nice, friendly, and accommodating. Dave, in particular, was wonderful in getting my order sorted, making the entire experience so hassle-free. Their top-quality meat is ever fresh and reasonably priced. If you are planning to stock meat for the week or month ahead, the shop is definitely worth a visit.
Other than the amazing meat counter, the variety of tasty homemade foods is great. They stock an enormous range of high-protein ready food and products, from delicious ready-made meals to healthy snacks. They even stock an enormous variety of spices and sauces to complete your meal prep.
By far the best place to shop for fresh food with plenty of healthy options available. Excellent products, great service, and most importantly, beautiful staff. Highly recommended! And yeah… You can find them at +35318472808.
Last Word On My Expedition
Following an exhaustive hunt high and low at five locations, my quest for value and the best price by the Dublin Meat Company was a resounding success. From the masterfully cut, diet-friendly Fitfoods in all their stores throughout Dublin to the superb cuts of meat and unbelievable holiday stress-savers, the company never disappoints.
Their commitment to good meat, flavorful ready meals, low costs, and truly warm service in every branch is the reason they are still an all-round must for anybody in Dublin looking to eat well without hassle.
