Where to find steak and lamb chops?

This query is from Sean the starving carnivore:
Help! Does anyone know where I can buy a decent bit of fillet steak and some nice lamb chops, please ? 90% of the meat in the supermarkets here seems to be pork or chicken or some very strange body parts which I am not that keen on. Any beef that I have bought in Tesco’s, Avion or Carrefour has been so tough that one would need jaws of steel to bite through it. Any recommendations please ?
I have found meat in Hainburg, Austria at Hofer (good for ground beef), and Spar (good for chicken and other meats). If you want to travel a little further, you can find large quantities and some good cuts of meat at reasonable prices at C&C Pfeiffer. It is located in Shopping City Sud south of Vienna in Austria. Drive to the far end, past the McDonald’s.

Many thanks for your advice. I have found a place called Metro. It is a wholesale warehouse, on the outskirts of Bratislava, past the airport, where they sell New Zealand lamb, Irish and Argentinian beef and Canadian bison ! However, as it is a wholesale place, one needs a membership card to gain entry and fortunately for me, my girlfriend has a card. Also, one has to buy bulk quantities but there are savings to be made on all kinds of goods. Best of luck with the web-site, a very good idea for ex-pats.
