"A buzzing barbecue restaurant with an open kitchen and an industrial feel. Highlights include the brisket and ribs: these are brined, oak-smoked, coated with a sweet and sour BBQ sauce and chargrilled – the results being unctuous and incredibly satisfying. The charming staff are happy to guide you."

"Sizzling-hot barbecue joint off Brick Lane You may have seen the queues for Smokestak snaking through food markets (Dinerama, Street Feast) across the capital, and the smell of barbecued meaty gloriousness is hard to forget. The food truck opened its first restaurant just off Brick Lane a few years ago. It's a real passion project: chef-patron David Carter who worked at Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's before moving to Texas and buying a 4.5-tonne smoker to master the art of barbecuing. Smokestak's cool interiors are as industrial as the smoker itself, with black-carbon-stained concrete walls, steel panelling and old workshop tops used as dining tables. A charcoal grill and a wood-burning smoker sit in the middle of the fiery open kitchen. Roller-shutter garage doors reveal an outdoor terrace with tables for the summer months. FOOD The smoke-fuelled menu has grown-up versions of old favourites, such as mouth-wateringly tender brisket buns with pickled red chilli and thick-cut pork ribs with pickled cucumber. Dishes include smoked girolles with beef-dripping toast; pastrami with sour cabbage and pickles; and hot-smoked salmon with rye and creamy horseradish. Vegetarians are not ignored: salt-baked beetroot with goat's cheese and hazelnuts, and a roasted aubergine with toasted cashew nuts and burnt honey' are equally impressive. And sides include celery, almond and preserved lemon slaw; heritage tomatoes with toasted pine nuts; and jacket potato with smoked rarebit. A plum crumble or sticky toffee pudding with burnt-butter ice-cream will leave you feeling sweetly satisfied. DRINK Don't go straight to your table: the candle-lit cellar bar has the same drinks menu in a more moody setting, with a reclaimed Yorkshire stone floor and oak-beam ceiling. Beers are local - IPA from Bermondsey, Dalston and Chiswick - and cocktails are smoky, sour and medicinal. The Penicillin with Scotch, peat, lemon, honey and ginger is enough to cure. Ox cheek (crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside) and posh pork scratchings make dangerously moreish bar snacks. VERDICT Smokey barbecue from street food kingpins."
