Smoke Restaurant Dallas

At Smoke, a cozy rustic-chic restaurant adjacent to the Belmont Hotel, Dallas chef and James Beard Award winning author, Tim Byers, pays homage to campfire cuisine by cooking nearly everything on his farm-to-fork driven menu over seasoned hardwoods. Items like coffee-cured beef brisket and a mammoth-sized beef rib are definitely a draw, but the wood-fired fare goes well beyond your typical barbecue. More hits can be found in dishes such as pit roasted cabrito, served inside a masa shell and dressed with a sauce of goat's milk cajeta and green apple salsa verde. The fire roasted oysters, swaddled in scampi butter and topped with a smoky ash salsa is another winner as well. Boozy liquids inlcude a margarita, made with cedar wood infused tequila, agave nectar, orange liqueur and fresh lime. Smoke also offers an overwhelming popular weekend brunch-- featuring everything from blueberry ricotta pancakes to smoked brisket cornbread hash.
