Lennox Hastie's wood-fire restaurant in Surry Hills — two-hat, Netflix Chef's Table BBQ featured, and obsessively good.
Why It Belongs on the List
Everything at Firedoor is cooked over wood fire, to order, using the best seasonal produce Hastie can source. Michelin-trained and featured on Netflix's Chef's Table: BBQ, Hastie runs an open kitchen where aged lamb, Rangers Valley beef, and day-fresh seafood are transformed by fire and precision. The two-hatted restaurant is one of Sydney's best special-occasion dinners. Sister venue Gildas next door serves Basque pintxos.
