    We loved our stop at Carbon Bar. We shared the Pit Platter, best ribs we’ve ever had. Enjoyed the Caesar Salad and mac & cheese too. Highly recommend.

    We tried the tasting menu. Food quality was excellent- pork belly, bbq platter, piri chicken. We were pressed for time, so we’re not able to enjoy dessert. The bill was reduced for this purpose- which was not requested, but appreciated. Cocktails were creative and delicious. Loved the decor- dark panelling, beautifully lit, and open concept.

    The Piri-piri chicken and brisket empanadas were excellent! Service a bit slow for water refills.

    Excellent food. All meat and seafood dishes were very tasty, fresh and tender. Flavours were really nice and we appreciated entires not being drenched in heavy sauces and creams, but in stead getting these condiments on the side for your own taste and preference. We highly recommend this place!
