My favourite snacks were the Brisket Slider, Grilled Shrimp Skewer and Pork Belly Bao. BBQ is a must at The Carbon Bar, and the brisket on the slider was flavourful and tender.
The Grilled Shrimp Skewer was nicely grilled with char and the sauce was tasty. The same goes for the Pork Belly Baos with the grilled and smoked pork bellies where the bao sauce had caramelized.
You always cannot go wrong with oysters! The Half Dozen gives you Malpeque Oysters, but the Dozen gives you two kinds like Raspberry Point Oysters.
I loved how unique the Black Mamba Margarita was with the Charcoal-infused Olmeca Altos Plata St. Germain to give that unique color and earthy smokey taste to margarita.
But if you’re wanting a stronger cocktail, the Pit-Fire Old Fashioned will not disappoint.
1) Brisket Empanada ($7)
2) Black Mamba Margarita ($10)
