Salt is a little cosy restaurant in the heart of the marina in Ballintemple! It is a great restaurant to swing by for brunch or dinner or drinks! Especially before a gig in Páirc Uí Chaoimh!

The Staff: The staff are really friendly and attentive. The waiting staff as well as the kitchen staff are very accomodating if you wanted to make a change to the item that you are prdering. Such as the type of bread or maybe not using sour cream in the item that you are ordering, etc.

The Food: I first started coming here in 2018 and back then the menu used to change daily and with the seasons. When we visited a few times during las year I noticed that it now seems to be a set menu, well at least the "La Carte" menu seems to be set. I ordered the "Anticucho Burger" and my fiancée ordered the "Eggs Benedict". She modified her order by swapping out the toasted muffin for a slice of toasted sourdough instead! I thought that maybe ordering the Anticucho Burger at half 10 in the morning would be too heavy but it was bar far the best thing I have gotten at Salt so far! The chicken was juicy and lightly spiced with beautiful tomatoes, lettuce and a dollop of their homemade Aji Verde! It was accompanied by their homemade garlic and parsley wedges! The Eggs Benedict is always a winner when it comes to a breakfast item and the protions are certainly satisfying at Salt! We highly recommend it if you are feeling something hearty for the morning!

Food Note: Their wedges are really really good and I would suggest ordering them as a side if the item that you are ordering does not come with them! You won't regret it! They also list what options they serve that there is a Dairy or Gluten option available, just look at the menu for details.

Location: Located in the little coner between Victoria Rd. and Monahan Rd. The area is quiet and I think this plays very well for Salt as there is usually parking close by however, sometimes you might have a short walk.

Layout & Decor: The restaurant has an outdoor area to the front of the premises and as you enter there is a number of seats at the front with a little elevated den area as well. The main seating area is located near the front and as you walk throught this area towards the back you will see that there is another outdoor area at the back with more seating. Both outdoor areas are covered with an awning and there is a heater in the rear outdoor area to keep customers warm. The decor is unique with pictures, posters, statues, etc.

Booking Note: If you want to sit inside I would book in advance especially on a busy weekend to ensure that you have a table as the premises is small and can fill up really fast!

Overall Opinion: Salt is definitely a great spot for brunch or dinner and it is also a good location in the Marina for drinks. They serve delicious food with a variety of options and its the perfect place on a warm Summer's eveing for a lite bite and cool drinks! I love it and I highly recommend coming here!
