Melbourne Hwaro Korean BBQ

Everyone knows that charcoal-grilled meat is far more flavorful than other methods of cooking. Yes, a gas barbecue will do the job, but there's a smoky depth that can only be achieved when charcoal is used as the fuel. This is why customers enjoy Hwaro, a Korean barbecue restaurant on Little Bourke Street.

Beef ribs (gal-bi) are essential to Korean barbecue, and you can order them thin and bony, standard cut, premium marble, or top grade. The marinated rib meat cooks quickly and evenly, with just the right amount of char on the outside, when you unfold it from around the bone before placing it on the grill plate. If you're new to Korean barbecue, this is a great place to start because they'll put your meats on the grill, flip them, and slice them when they're done if you prefer to be a passenger. You are free to captain your own dinner cruise if you so desire.

The smoky room there is half the appeal of a night of individually cooked meats to order, and you will carry that smell home with you. This also means that if you arrive starving the aroma of caramelizing marinade is sweet torture, so order a serve of long, golden-fried dumplings and a Hite pale ale right off the bat.
