Smoking Goat

Dinner at the Smoking Goat is a delicious Shoreditch vibe paired with honestly crazy good regional Thai food to match

Returning to One Hundred Shoreditch after my Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral & Dover Tour by Evan Evans, to put it frankly – I was hungry. The front desk at the hotel highly recommended dinner at the Smoking Goat bar and restaurant, up the street. So, after browsing the menu online, I walked my way down to 64 Shoreditch High St.

I started with an order of CAN I BE YOUR SQUEEZE? (Tequila, lime & grapefruit radler) while browsing the menu. I immediately ordered the CHILLI FISH SAUCE WING to start.

For the salad course, I enjoyed the ISAAN PORK LAAB WITH FRESH CHILLI & CITRUS with STICKY RICE.

For my main, I ordered the BARBECUE BEEF RUMP WITH GREEN TOMATO RELISH & HYSSOP. But, I felt something was missing. So, I ordered a chili sauce and got my ass masochistically handed to me.

The whole meal was a lesson in heat tolerance and riding the edge of pain turning into pleasure. The heat from the peppers and layer of flavors was spicy, heat forward and just – killer good. With every bite, it was a balance of “Oh damn, I don’t think I can take another bite” to “Oh this is so good.”

And then, I dove in for more.

Dinner at Smoking Goat was absolutely delicious and the right choice for a night out in Shoreditch.
