Third Culture Barbecue
Mattar
Smell that? Meet the city’s superior smokehouse. Mattar is a cult favourite – and its Time Out Market establishment marks the very first permanent dine-in location for a brand that is as well known for its aroma as its succulent slices of 18-hour smoked brisket. Helmed by pitmaster (and all-round personality) Hattem Mattar, the team serves up stupefyingly tasty, generously portioned artisan smoked meats, from rich, fall-apart pastrami to spicy beef chorizo, available plated or between buns. It’s mighty, it’s messy, it’s absolutely magnificent.
