Smoque Restaurant Review

My most recent gastronomic experience was a Tuesday lunchtime visit to Smoque on London Circuit with my foodie friend Yvette and my baby boy Marley in tow. Smoque serves up American heartland food that is finger lickin good.

Think ribs, buffalo wings, beef brisket, pulled pork and sloppy joes. Smoque opened up just one month ago and is fast becoming popular. There's nothing quite like it in Canberra. The venue is what you would expect of an Americana theme with lots of wood, a fully stocked bar and perky staff in cute red checkered attire. Music is pumping and it's a pretty cool place to be for lunch.
 
Smoque doesn't take bookings for less than 6 people so it's best to get there when it opens as it gets busy. There is no table service you order at the bar. Food arrives promptly.

We had the BBQ Trifecta platter ($39) for the two of us. The trifecta consists of succulent ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork and cornbread with a side of your choice of which we chose red cabbage coleslaw. Oh and a rather large random looking pickle.

It was indeed a deliciously satisfying meal with the only downside the cornbread being dry most likely a day or two old.


The menu has everything tasty about America on it. It caters not only for carnivores with all things meat but herbivores alike with a large range of hearty salads. I'll definitely be returning with hubby and the rest of the kids.

You've got to love a restaurant where cutlery is optional and there is a roll of a paper towel on the table!
