Newcastle restaurant Meet has moved into its new home, a 480m² industrial warehouse space styled in glass and black steel, with stunning feature greenery from ponytail palms to dangling fronds. They might just be the only greens you end up seeing, with the newly revamped venue specialising in all-you-can-eat Brazilian barbecue, cooked over the rotisserie and carved at the table.

Head chefs, Nick Writer and Rafael Tonan, have put together a meat-heavy menu forged over the flames of the kitchen’s resident rotisserie barbecue and smoker. Settle in for a carousel of carne, where Brazilian cuts like picanha and chicken hearts are paraded alongside familiar favourites like 12-hour smoked brisket, short rib and chorizo. If you don’t have the stomach space for competitive eating, there’s also a South American sharing menu filled with lighter, fresher options.

Meet’s bespoke cocktail list shakes up tropical tipples from the Copacabana Flip, made from coconut cream and pandan leaves to the guava bastida, Brazil’s famous boozy smoothie. Wines and beers play second fiddle to an extensive spirit list, which includes seven types of cachaça, the local sugarcane spirit.

The seductive scent of smoke isn’t the only thing luring diners through the door. A contemporary fit-out curated by Something More Design ditches the traditional ranch interiors for contemporary bar stylings, which sees muted greens paired with chocolate leather banquettes and Portuguese tiling.

Meet Restaurant & Bar is located at 9 Darby Street, Newcastle. It opens Mon – Thu 5pm – late and Friday – Sunday 12pm – late. For more details or to book, head to www.meet.restaurant
