SMK (Smoked Meat Kitchen), will brush the sand off its boards when it opens at Jumeirah’s La Mer this month. The beach-side dining destination features a menu of smoked meat, created by UK Smoke Master, Luke Tully.

The destination itself, La Mer, will innovatively combine upscale living with distinctive retail and leisure attractions, integrated outdoor living environment and engaging beach activities. The project will also launch a range of retail and F&B concepts, some of which will mark their foray into Dubai, one of which is SMK.

SMK serves up slow-cooked meat smoked over English oak and topped off with homemade rubs to season the cuts. The cooking process is by smoking, rather than direct grilling, which allows the meat to become tender and succulent.

The signature dish from SMK will be the Brisket Bun, served with pickled red chilli, which adds a fruity heat to the tender brisket, served in a specially baked bun, while those that prefer a little more meat, can opt for the dry aged beef ribs, topped off with pickled red chilli.

SMK Dubai will be open seven days a week from 12pm to 12am. Reservations are not required, and diners can enquire about SMK’s Cater and Carve concept for home entertainment by contacting smokers@smk-uae.com or calling 050 7032915.
