lp's quality meats

lp’s is agreatplace to go if you want something that feels a little bit special, but is still accessible and easy to eat. i found the food to be a little bit on the too-simple side, but i enjoyed the quality of the produce, as well as the bold, classic flavours. it is also pretty pricey, and i would personally much rather spend the dollars at ester, which is literally just around the corner. but with that said, i had agreattime at lp’s, and would be happy to come back and have a go at their steaks and smoked potatoes; it just wasn’t quite as outstanding as i had built it up in my mind to be.

just had dinner here (21/5/16).greatfood but the outstanding element of the evening was the service. rosie served us and had quality banter and good advice on meal choices. it's a shame she ran off before i got a chance to ask for her number. if she were so inclined she can look me up on fb.

currently the best dining experience under $50 pp so far. location wasn’t a issue for us, as it was located in the alleyways behind central park. inviting atmosphere and laid back staff resulted in a well oiled cogs in a machine.

we started with olives and coppa. in-house made coppa was as good as expected, savoury aged fragrance makes me salivate as i write this now.

eggplant parmigiana was deceivingly delicious, it was encased in a fried chicken batter and topped with a generous serving of burrata and cut by the mild acidity from the tomato sauce. it was like the long lost vegetarian brother of chicken parmigiana.

duck and pork terrine was more like a massive sausage. the duck imparted a slight gaminess and accents the terrine.

despite the long wait for mains, it was definitely worth it. porchetta had a beautiful mix of herbs including rosemary and thyme, with super crispy skin but it was slightly too salty imo.

smoked beef ribs, extremely tender, flavourful and warming for the soul.

the highlight of the meal was the pouding choumer, it reminded me of my childhood digging into a maccas hot cake but in a gourmet version. the essential flavour remains but the ladyfingers like cakes were lighter and the temperature contrast with vanilla ice cream was a failsafe addition that elevates the dish.

i had the creme caramel first and i thought it wasgreatuntil pouding choumer walked into the room, nevertheless solid though.

i’m not a big fan of chocolate but marjolaine was delicious in its own right, rich and gooey dark chocolate cake was quickly gorged down by my chocolate loving friends.

it was nothing out of the box but everything was done with care and attention, resulting in evidently good dining experience. also, i would like to commend luke powell for his flippity flop technique and an absence of chunky monkeys in the dishes.

location is a little out of the way but still walkable from central station (or even town hall; what i did). i first noticed a lot of working people in the restaurant, i suppose it is a popular post-work haunt as they do have a nice selection of drinks. overall had a very classy atmosphere to the place and they have an open kitchen. 

service was very helpful and they patiently explained to us that salami cotto was cooked whereas salumi was cold cut. we got the salumi, smoked beef short rib, porchetta, mash & gravy, sourdough and butter, applewood smoked ocean trout and smoked shoulder ham. 

my favourites were the ocean trout and the porchetta! the trout had such a lovely mix of flavours to it, so creamy and tasty. the pork belly had the crunchiest skin and juicy meat. the salumi was also very smokey, and the short rib sooo very soft. special mention to the mash & gravy, amazing buttery goodness but it was a little tooo mushy for my taste. 

overall was agreatexperience, quite pricey so would only recommend for a splurge every now and then or for a special occasion.

  lp’s quality meats as the name suggest serves up a wide array of smoked and cured meats, fish is also on the menu with some non meat sides.  its in a lane way in chippendale not really a place you would expect to find a restaurant or just walk by. all of the dishes i had were excellent, simple food done really well. if your in the mood for a meat meal i would defiantly check out lp’s quality meats.   vitello tonnato $16- i did not know what this dish was so had to ask the waiter was told its cold sliced veal covered in a creamy sauce. not something i have had before but i was in the mood for something new so i gave it a go. i’m not the biggest veal fan however this dish wasgreatthe meat was soft and full of flavor with out being overpowering. glad i tried it and would defiantly order it again. coppa $15 – hard to go wrong with   cured pork   so good two servings were ordered. 15 hr smoked beef short rib $38 –  the meat was so soft it was just falling off the bone, with the meat has a strong smoked taste to it. pouding chomuer with vanilla ice cream $14 – super sweet tart agreatway to finish off a meaty meal. the sweetness of the syrup is balanced with the creaminess of the iced cream, a simple but very tasty dessert.     lp's quality meats unit 1, 16 chippen street, chippendale ph: (02) 8399 0929   http://www.lpsqualitymeats.com/ tuesday to saturday bar menu from 5pm dinner from 6pm–11pm chippendale meat

oh my gosh.... my partner and i have been to lp's quality meats twice now, and to say this place completely blows our minds is an understatement. the meat! the smoked salmon! the service! everything in that place is pure class - the waiters and waitresses seem like they genuinely want to be there, which is a rarity these days. the quality of food is outstanding; two standouts for me are the beef short rib and the smoked salmon. the short rib is so good that the only words my partner spoke to me for twenty minutes were "mmmm...mmm". the smoked salmon is agreatalternative for someone who is not keen on the meat sweats; the beautiful smokey flavour takes away some of the 'fishiness' that can sometimes come with salmon, and it is served on a bed of creme freche and capers (which are also smoked). thanks lp's - we won't find it hard to create another occasion for us to return for.

finally got a bbq box to go with various meats of theirs that i've found at other establishments. well, they certainly smoke well. the chicken and the pork ribs were simply the best smoked meats that i've ever eaten. also the most expensive. so i can't really recommend anything else at these prices. the basic sausage that's all over sydney now is very boring, as is the chorizo. i remember somegreatmortadella though. the sides were all low effort too - terrible sauce, mash, gravy. that chicken and pork though...

heaven for meat lovers! i visited as a group of 6 including 2 kids and everyone had agreattime. we had the croquettes, smoked wagyu and pate for starters and all were polished off. for the mains we ordered the smoked beef rib, and 1.2kgs of dry aged rib steak both perfectly done. the photos isn’t to scale but they were huge and definitely enough to share between us. would definitely revisit.

great tongue, beautiful cut, nice texture, very tender, the fennel pork porchetta, was excellent as well. sadly service was a bit mediocre. if felt like agreatplace,greatfood, ran by some kids staff from hungry jacks

will come back for:
+ beef short ribs
+ smoked sausages
+ village salad
+ pastassio ice cream

came here with a couple of mates for a quick meal and a couple of beers, and was suitably impressed by the smoked meats! the ribs were some of the best i have had anywhere (on the bone, super tender and just the right level of smokiness), the smoked sausages where also nicely smoked and flavorsome. we also shared a couple of desserts but the highlight for me was the pastassio ice cream, packed with pastassio and super creamy.greatlittle eatery (it was packed for a tuesday night) but service wasgreatand friendly, and the place was rustic and modern. price is on the fine dining end of the spectrum but the ribs were worth it! will be back.

too fatty and rich for me. gave me a tummy ache.
the porchetta looks amazing but only if you can stomach the fat - i dont really like the texture of fat (6-7mm layers rolled within the porchetta)
i know some like it but not for me.
croquette pigs head too rich - loves the apple mustard though
terrine - has better. husband like it though
sausage - same, can cook nicer at home
spinach - yuck, such a off glamour and not pleasant

service notgreateither, staff too busy chatting to one another at the counter

disappointed overall as enjoyed it last time

carnivores heaven has the beef ribs and sausage and agreatsalad. also had the pounding chomeur for desert. all fantastic. highly recommended

although having just one poorly lit photo, we had an amazing experience at lp's!

looking for a late night eat, we stumbled upon lp's quality meats in one of the alleyways of chippendale. entering through the wooden framed automatic doors, we were transported to a funky yet fancy environment. lp's was happening with everyone in the restaurant very obviously having a good time. we were immediately greeted by friendly faces and were served professionally withgreatrecommendations to top.

we ordered the boudin (sausage), smoked beef short rib, porchetta, bread rolls and beans. the food was amazing! the boudin was sweet and extremely tasty, the beef rib was tender and juicy, the porchetta was perfectly cooked and the bread rolls weregreatcomplements to all the meats. we got a few drinks from lp's too, and had no issues with them.

overall, lp's is agreatplace if your looking for a place to date or catch up and drink with friends. it's especially good for meat lovers! would definitely recommend this lp's place to anyone!

this place never disappoints, the food isgreatand service is very good, the only little problem i would say is the size of the mocktail which is ridiculous for a non alcoholic drink but it's delicious.

their spices blood sausage (boudin) is so flavoursome (but not salty) - superb. also had the smoked lamb belly stuffed with merguez sausage which was cooked and flavoured just right. small but well considered menu. overall very friendly and attentive service -greatfor a group of friends and meat lovers ;)
