LP's Quality Meats on Postcard

"Smoking eats in Chippendale They say: “where there’s smoke, there’s fire”. In the case of LP’s Quality Meats, there’s definitely a whole lot of hot stuff smoldering away behind sliding glass doors, down an otherwise quiet lane, tucked away in Sydney’s new darling neighbourhood for food, Chippendale. At the heart of LP’s Quality Meats pumps Australia’s only Southern Pride Smoker. Shipped straight from Tennessee, this beast of a machine creates quality, smoked meats and treats under the watchful and masterful control of eponymous and renowned head-chef/owner, Luke Powell. Start with things cured and the cold cuts. Thin slivers of belly ham will convert any hardened vegetarian, and get a bowl of pickles to cut through the meat festival that’s about to kick off. Applewood smoked salmon is served with crème fraiche, dill and capers, and the smoked beef tongue with bone marrow and eschallot vinairgrette is not to be missed. The corn on the cob is chewy, popping with juice, and roasted in palm-sized pieces. Sides include radishes with bottarga and Dijon vinaigrette. Heads are filled with loud, excellent music and there’s a fun, vibrant vibe. Don’t leave without having the pouding chomeur with vanilla icecream for dessert, it’s heart stoppingly good; one for sharing."

Had a great dinner here for a birthday, lovely staff with just the right amount of service, and a good menu selection. For two people we ordered a generous amount, could have done with one less side and it would have been perfect. We got bread and the charcuterie, chicken liver parfait, a half duck, pork chop, salad, and potatoes. The duck is the stand out from our selection. The only dish we didn't enjoy was the chicken liver parfait, had an aftertaste that grew stronger the longer it was in your mouth, sad because it's so beautiful. Would definitely recommend for two or for a group, great atmosphere.

Tasty meats. Friendly service. Charcuterie of mixed cured meats ($30) was fantastic with my favourite being the Coppa - flavoursome, tender and fatty. The black Angus sirloin was cooked perfectly with a good sear and crust ($70 for 500g). The smoked potatoes were crispy however were slightly bland ($12). The chocolate torte ($18) was delicious although the cream tasted sour and wasn’t to my liking and pricey for what you get. Service was attentive and friendly with an all female team. Cosy decor however music was quite loud making it difficult for conversation. Will come back!

I was lucky to be some of the last few to get in before this restaurant closes down to expand LPs production capacity but I have zero regrets. The décor is so Italian - we felt we were in Europe but was having fantastic inner west crafties from Grifter with our food. Bread and butter, hash brown with whipped mullet roe, sausage and lentil, roasted peppers and anchovy, roasted duck and pickled cherries and madeleines to finish. The food was ridiculously good - so simple and tasty, we were seated a bar so we could see the cooks working away. I’ll miss this place.

Dined in for lunch on their last day of service. Really delicious food. The entrees and desserts were a standout. Wonderful charcuterie options, the freshly cooked Madeleines were perfection. Amazingly smooth and sumptuous chocolate torte too. The service was hit and miss. Felt like other tables got nicer service than we did. We had to flag down the staff several times to get their attention even though the place wasn't full/busy. Good to hear they'll still be at Carriageworks as their meats are tasty.

Simplistic menu and rustic decor. But it's this naked surrounding that highlights the food. Amazing flavour, abundant portions, friendly staff and just really really good meat. Nothing else to add except that if you are in the neighbourhood, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to try. 1kg T-bone? I ate it myself but it could realistically feed a family of three easily and all for an affordable price. Try it. Won't be disappointed.

A beautiful experience with quality service and well crafted food. Had the luxury of getting the O'Connor Black Angus Sirloin, while a bit chewy in places the rest was so buttery Was able to go to LP's Restaurant on the last day before they closing down to go wholesale only. Wish them all the best!

Love this place but the smoked meats and the sides. Make sure to book as it can get quite busy- especially on weekends! Great for big groups with canteen style tables and benches. Make sure you order the mash potato - it’s silky, smooth and I could it eat multiple bowls of it! The smoked meats are seasoned and smoked well. Come in a big group so you can order more!

Great Vibe and excellent food. The Prime Rib was really tender and tasty and had gentle smokey taste, but make sure that you're a fan of fatty cuts. The Pounding was nice, but too sweet, and we couldn't finish an entire desert because of the sweetness.
