If you’re a fan of a tapas-style meal and trying out small plates of food, then look no further! The new tapas menu at Smokin’ Bar, Leeds is out and I am talking from experience when I say it is one to try! From succulent pork to mouthwatering chorizo, there will be something on the menu for most to enjoy.
The Bar & Restaurant situated close to Greek Street has an Art Deco/Prohibition decor theme, with lots of open space and an open kitchen. We dined on a Monday evening and although the place wasn’t busy, there were a few diners and people enjoying drinks in the bar area, as well as some great live music.
The Main Menu already appealing with it’s Smoked Fish, Smoked Meat and Burgers now offers a Tapas Menu between Sunday – Thursday with the following deals of 3 dishes for £15, 5 dishes for £20 or 7 dishes for £25. We decided to try 8 dishes between two of us as our evening meal. I would say we left not hungry, but not overly full, the 8 dishes shared between us were just right.
Here’s what we had;
Pan fried scallops served with pea puree and crispy bacon. GF
These were really well cooked and super tasty. This dish is a very small portion, but worth a try!
OX TAILS
Slow cooked, smoked ox tail served with red wine sauce.
The meat just falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. The sauce is really tasty. This was one of my favourite dishes and a decent size portion!
CREAMY MUSHROOMS
Garlic mushrooms served on ciabatta bread with creamy garlic sauce and blanched spinach
Not a massive fan of mushrooms and found this quite salty. A decent portion though.
Sliced Iberico pork fillet marinated in coffee and served with garlic aioli.
Beef fillet pan fried in garlic butter and served with shallott sauce
Good size portion of well-cooked steak, served medium as a standard. The shallott sauce is lovely.
