Pacific BBQ Cafe
213 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne VIC
We walked straight into Pacific BBQ Cafe and could see they had a pretty full house, annoying, but always a good sign. Luckily, like most Chinese restaurants, turnover of patrons is pretty quick and our group of five was seated almost immediately. This will probably be a short review about the Pacific as there is only really a few things to say:
- - Eat at the Pacific for kickarse BBQ Pork
- - Eat at the Pacific for kickarse Roast Duck
- - Go to the Pacific for crazy Fruit salad/crushed-ice drinks
The Pacific crew know their pork/duck is good. That’s why they hang the glistening meat in the window by the entrance where we could see them being masterfully chopped up, plated and served to lucky diners.
The menu is extensive and always in site under the glass on top of your table. Service is quick and they can accommodate plenty of people. I had the Roast Duck/BBQ Pork & Rice meal (pictured left) and it was fantastic. Also ordered was a Pineapple bun (sweet bread with melted butter) and a “Crushed ice mango fruit salad drink”, which both tasted amazing.
I couldn’t recommend the Pacific more, it’s quick, cheap, and tasty – perfect for a work lunch!
