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.

We have been to Spensley's close to 10 times now over the past year! It is our favourite place to come for a relaxing and tasty meal. We bring all our visitors here (we are originally from the UK) to showcase one of the best restaurants we have found during our time in Melbourne. The food is spectacular for the value (feed me menu is always worth it!). We will be becoming back!
