DEXTER is a no rules approach to American BBQ brought to you by Adam Goldblatt, Sam and Tom Peasnell. Our meatery features the best Australian produce which is treated the right way. Chefs Tom (Pitt Cue Co, London) and Adam (Homeslice, London) pay homage to the low and slow traditions of American BBQ utilising smoking, chargrill techniques and pair this with flavours from Mexico, China, France and alike. The philosophy is a meat first approach, where a dish is formulated from the unique characteristics of the meat (or vegetable) for a truly unique meat experience. Think salted caramel ribs, hot meat donuts and dry aged Ribeye's.

Bluestone American BBQ features a Latin American spin on authentic low and slow traditions from the US BBQ belt. Chef Alvaro Malel draws inspiration from his Uruguayan heritage, and his passion for cuisines from both American continents to reimagine smoked classics like Yearling Beef Short Rib with chimichurri, and Pit-Braised Pulled Lamb with salsa criolla and arepas.His talent for bringing together the best of North and South American food traditions has been a drawcard for diners across Melbourne since the restaurant opened seven years ago. He credits the success of Bluestone to his Uruguayan culture and heritage, which is all about “food, family and fire…BBQ is a feature of all my best memories. There’s no better way to celebrate milestones, or to just kick back and have fun with the people you love. Bluestone has always been about creating that experience for other people.”

    We have a really great dinner, so happy I booked Gilson. We had a table of 6 and we all enjoyed the food and it was so busy, but we still had good attention from our waiters. Also the Spagetti Cacio Pepi was amazing. 😁🫶🏻

    I dined with 3 people - one of us has coeliac who, based on previous experiences, is very cautious to go out and order food in a restaurant with reassurance that it is gluten free. The staff here were fantastic and very accommodating of our needs, reassuring us multiple times that the poppadoms and other dishes were gluten free which was a huge relief. Happy to report that our coeliac diner had no ill effects (which can even happen with supermarket GF bread) so this was a huge plus and an excellent meal. The food we did order was incredible - I'm still thinking about their rum beef ribs and the goat and chicken curries we ordered were as good as any multi-award winning curry houses in the UK. Can't recommend the service and the food enough, although I'd recommend they light up the stairs a little better because they're a bit tricky to navigate after dark!
