Two soft tacos. One very difficult decision.

Go for the Pulled Pork with Southern slaw and pickled onions, or the Brisket with lettuce, cheese and pickles.

Either way, they come with a side of Makikihi Agria fries because choosing just tacos would be far too responsible.

Available for lunch at Holy Smoke.

Who said the mushrooms only belong on the side?

Our Wood Fired Mushroom Pâté is rich, smoky, and packed with flavour, topped with shaved truffle, crunchy walnuts, and sweet confit garlic. Served with grilled focaccia that’s made for scooping up every last bite.

Fair warning: you might find yourself scraping the board clean… and we fully support that.

Proof that veggies can steal the show.

Our Harissa Cauliflower is roasted to perfection, packed with bold harissa flavour, and finished with a generous drizzle of smokey aioli.

Even the dedicated meat lovers have been known to “just try a bite”… then quietly order one for themselves.

Comfort food… with a bit of attitude.

Our Meaty Mac & Cheese isn’t here to play nice. Creamy, cheesy macaroni loaded with smoky sausage and finished with a kick of jalapeño for just the right amount of heat.

It’s rich, it’s smoky, it’s ridiculously satisfying… and yes, going back for someone else’s leftovers is officially frowned upon

Meet the Holy Smoke Beef Burger – a juicy ½-pound beef pattie stacked with crispy bacon, pickles, lettuce, cheese, our house-made beetroot relish, and finished with Holy Smoke BBQ sauce.

Big enough to satisfy the hungriest appetite… and messy enough that napkins become part of the meal.

Not all heroes wear brisket… some come covered in smokey garlic butter!

Our Grilled Focaccia is toasted over the fire, smothered in smokey garlic butter, finished with parmesan and a balsamic drizzle that’s almost too good to share.

Perfect as a starter… or, if you’re the friend who says “I’ll just have one bite,” you might want to order your own

Nothing says Sunday like a perfectly cooked Lamb Cap On.

Served medium with mixed grilled vegetables, rich red wine jus, and your choice of Makikihi fries or creamy garlic mash, it’s the kind of meal that makes you forget Monday is just around the corner. 😉

Settle in, take your time, and let us do the cooking.
