What User doesn't like about The Plout Kirn:
this little community is, and not a goal. because of the hour we have chosen to stop here for dinner. the small restaurant was cozy, the service friendly and helpful and eating, surprisingly very good, beyond our expectations. the scallops were excellent and the steaks were nothing less than perfect. a selection of food for children simplified our stop, and the selection of beer and ales made it even more interesting...

dounby is not exactly on every trip, but the plout kirn restaurant in the smithfield hotel could be a good reason to put it there. it is a small and cozy environment with surprisingly excellent eating. my wife and I enjoyed the scallops that. were cooked to perfection and served with a delicate cream sauce and vegetables. a very good dinner together.
