Sydney, NSW

Best BBQ in Sydney.

Harry currently ranks 10 bbq spots in Sydney, scoring 84–91 on the Harry Score.

Smoke is an ingredient, not a decoration. Harry reads the bark, the smoke ring, and whether the meat rested as long as it smoked. Sauce is a condiment, not a rescue operation — if it arrives pre-drowned, the kitchen already told you what it thinks of the brisket.
