The service was exceedingly friendly and to begin they brought us cut up carrots and cucumbers, with a salmon dip – which was nicely cold, firm, and absolutely delicious.

The roasted salmon ‘St. Jaques’ (160LE) comes with scallops, seasonal vegetables, mashed potatoes, topped with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. The fish itself was excellent, as were the scallops, and the mix of vegetables were elegant and tasty; the only slight setback was that the sauce was mildly too sweet.

Settling on a crème brûlée (45LE) for dessert, we were not disappointed. With a very satisfying crack to its shell, the custard within was creamy and soft, without being overly sweet. Having given it a quick heat before serving, it was still quite cold on the bottom, though

In case you’re not a salmon fan, the Smokery also serves a few filet dishes including a beef teriyaki starter and other main courses. Otherwise, be prepared to eat a lot of that pink fish.
