Rök Smokehouse,

SHOREDITCH, LONDON

Scandi cool meets Shoreditch chic in this new, cosy, Nordic-inspired restaurant.The Ršk team, with consultant chef Matt Young, have designed a menu for sharing, focussed around its wood fire, giving quality British ingredients the Scandi treatment. Ršk recommends ordering snacks to start, a meat dish each, and sides to share. The Cobble Lane charcuterie plate stands out Ð super-thin shavings of cured meat, including a fantastic fennel and garlic salami, served with charred sourdough and pickled beetroot. The Õnduja scotch egg is also excellent. For main, smoked, charred duck breast, still pink inside, served with lingonberry bacon jam is the star.ThereÕs only one pudding Ð wood-roasted peach with cr•me fra”che, Laphroaig honey and almond Ð and itÕs brilliant. roklondon.com
