About Bones & Smoke

BBQ Smokehouse in Bondi

Bones & Smoke is a small smokehouse in Bondi Junction built around one thing: serious smoked meat. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, and no seed oil used – ever.

What started as a local favourite on the Central Coast has become on of the Best BBQ meat in Bondi experiences, driven by one chef, one smoker, and one signature way of doing things.

The Signature Smoking Method

Bones & Smoke isn’t just another grill spot. Chef Vinnie uses a signature smoking method built from trial, error, and a lot of long nights by the pit.

Real wood smoke: for deep flavour and proper bark.
Dialled-in timing: a process that cooks faster than traditional low-and-slow, but still delivers the melt-in-your-mouth meat experience.
Custom rubs and fats: spice blends and fats designed to suit each cut.

The result is meat that is tender without falling apart into mush, with a rich smoke ring and clean, balanced flavour. It’s how we earned a repution for the Best brisket in Bondi and BBQ that people drive across town for.

The Food—Brisket, Ribs, Boards & More.

The Bones& Smoke Bondi menu is tight on purpose. Every item earns its place on the board.

Wagyu and Smoked Brisket

Long-smoked centrepiece of the menu and the reason many call us the Best BBQ in Bondi.

Pork and Beef Ribs

Sticky, smoky, and built to be eaten with your hands.

Pulled Pork Shoulder, Beef Cheeks, and Wild Cuts

Big flavour for serious meat lovers.

3-Meat Mac and Cheese, Smoked Veggies, Pickles, and Sides

Not just fillers, but dishes people come back for.

Smoked Pavlova and House Iced Tea

Proof that the smoker doesn’t stop at meat.

No Seed Oil - Our Non-Negotiable

One of the things that sets Bones & Smoke Bondi Junction apart is what we don’t use.

No Seed Oil Used in cooking – no canola, sunflower or “vegetable” oil blends.
We cook with butter, ghee, and beef tallow instead.
This applies across the board – smoked meats, sides, and even dessert.

Guests notice the difference straight away – from wild boar fried in butter and ghee to coleslaw dressed with beef tallow aioli. It’s a cleaner, richer way to eat BBQ, and it’s core to who we are.

From Terrigal to Bondi

Before opening in Bondi, Chef Vinnie ran a small smokehouse on the Central Coast. Word spread quietly, plate-by-plate, until reviews stacked up.
