Best BBQ OUT of the US?
After all, we do get homesick for the good eats sometimes...
After an absence of five years, I ate earlier this month at my favorite BBQ restaurant out of the US (also serves seafood, West Indian food, curries, etc.) on my way to a nice liveaboard dive trip:
C&F Bar & Restaurant
Purcell Estate, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Call 284-494-4941 or -1094 for booking
Grill Master Chef Clarence makes a tangy sauce and nearly fall-off-the-bone (not overcooked) BBQ spare ribs that are very hard to beat! Even the baked potatoes are just right, with the thick, crispy skins I love. Mostly locals enjoy this place, but it's worth the ride into the hills in back of Roadtown, and the secret isn't theirs alone! Yeah, man, dis C&F is a good ting!

For the last week or so I've had a yen for ribs and finally decided to check out threads here by doing a lookup on the word "ribs".
So, I ended up with a ton of threads, all multiple pages and this one with zero comments.
So, nominated for best ribs outside the US is:
BAR-B-BARN on Guy Street in downtown Montreal.
Multi-level; cozy bar w/many Canadian brews available.
Always a line there (place seems to be a favorite w/Montreal Canadiens' players; walking distance from Bell Centre).
The ribs are one type - with sort of a honey-molasses sauce and come with slaw + pick one other side from: french fries; baked potato; mashed potato; baked beans; or my particular favorite, Spanish rice.
On the way out you can purchase a jug of their sauce.

Almost anywhere in Argentina. Their beef is very good, particularly for slow cooking (think they don't use feed lots to up the weight, it is all grass fed and shows in flavour and texture). More famous for their steaks, but I've had great ribs at Cabana Las Lilas in Buenos Aires.
