At Lilac, we’ve transformed a historic warehouse into a warm, low-lit wine bar with loft-style charm and inviting character—think exposed brick, steel-framed windows, Persian rugs, and a cozy fireplace. It’s the kind of place where you can relax at plush velvet couches or gather around the back-lit bar for a drink and a bite. Our kitchen plays with wood-fire cooking, house-made charcuterie, and creative twists on nostalgic bistro favourites. From chicken-liver mousse éclairs to savoury “mince on toast,” every dish is made with seasonal, local, foraged, and fermented ingredients that speak to heart and flavour. Our beverage focus is just as thoughtfully crafted. We pour an array of biodynamic and minimal-intervention wines, alongside inventive cocktails that nod to tradition with unexpected ingredients. The aim is simple: quality, creativity, and joy in every glass.

    It was a lovely experience. Our waiter was most attentive and since it was quiet we were treated to extra background details on the philosophy of the restaurant and a tour of the private dining space.

    This was our first time dining at The Smoke Pit, from the moment we entered staff were friendly and welcoming. Acknowledged it was a birthday and gave us a free cap, which was a great touch .The food was sensational, beef brisket melted in your mouth, sauces were delicious, sides of corn ,slaw, mac n cheese and chips all were amazing, Burgers fabulous, ribs very good. Sausages very tasty. Finished with the pie which were all fantastic. They were extremely busy but, got all of our meals out in a great amount of time, never made us feel rushed, in fact we were the last to leave, tremendous service by all staff. Perfect atmosphere great music. Well done to you all, certainly had a great night, we'll be back.
