Phillip's Foote

For my birthday, a group of mates and I went out to dinner at the Foote. This restaurant is set in the Rocks district of downtown Sydney in a historic 1800s-era building. The front of the building is a pub while the back courtyard houses the restaurant. The unique part about Phillip's Foote is that you grill your own piece of meat. For A$26.50, you can choose from about a dozen different cuts of beef, chicken, lamb or fish. You are served the meat raw and then go to season and cook it yourself on one of the restaurant's large outdoor barbies. You are also entitled to unlimited salad and sides from the buffet. The meat is very high quality, the old school courtyard is awesome and I would recommend the restaurant. It is quite a bit more expensive than just throwing your own BBQ at your house or hostel, though, so be prepared to spend some money for your pleasure.
