Reviews
Salt yard was lovely. A really good choice for some higher end tapas options. A really good selection of dishes that were surprising but also comforting and tasty. I would recommend the squid and the croquettes. The staff were friendly. It’s a bit pricey but as expected for this quality of restaurant.
Really enjoyed our dinner here, loved how the waitress said “I think that should be enough on your order” in case we had no space for dessert there were two of us and we ordered 8 items instead of letting us over order. Very well prepared dishes with nice experimental mix of flavours. All were delicious but the top 3 from our 8 I think were the pork belly, grilled octopus and duck. The charcuterie platter had a nice mix of meats. The cocktails were yummy too! We had the mains with a beautiful carafe of Tempranillo suggested by the waitress. Happy to return again in future.
TL;DR: Not worthy of the Bib Gourmand designation I was very disappointed with Salt Yard. We ordered five items and had mixed feelings about the food. Having been to a few other Bib Gourmand rated restaurants, I had high expectations going in. Our order was as follows: Courgette Flower, Slow-cooked Loch Duart Salmon, Burrata, Octopus & the Pork Belly. Of the five items the Courgette Flower and Burrata were my favorites. Both dishes were quite nice, although I felt that they were a bit heavy with the honey on the Courgette Flower. The salmon was also good. The last two dishes, the octopus and pork belly, were disappointing. The octopus was overdone to the point that part of the tentacle was hard and dry. The octopus also wasn't very tender. As for the pork belly, I knew I was in trouble when I had to ask the server for a steak knife to try and cut through the skin. And I do mean "try" because the steak knife couldn't even cut all the way through. The pork was also tough. Service was a bit off the mark as well. I didn't appreciate that they charged for water even if you order still. This fact wasn't brought to our attention when the server asked what kind of water we wanted. There is also a 12.5% service charge which wasn't made clear at the onset of the meal. All in all, Salt Yard underwhelmed.
I managed to be seated without a reservation here, the staff were incredibly attentive, polite and respectful, they made this place so pleasant to visit. The highlight of my order was the gambas pil pil and the flatbread if I could eat that everyday, I would! The black squid ink risotto was unusual, rich in flavour but the crisp yet soft texture was lovely with the perfectly fried calamari. Wasn't too much of a fan of the octopus and the patatas bravas, the goats cheese fried courgette flower wasn't to my taste either. The buratta was a little sickly too but again these are just based off my pallete and not to say somebody else won't enjoy them. Presentation was beautiful for everything and the service was quick
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening here and highly recommend it. It is a higher end small plate tapas restaurant. We had 5 dishes, flatbread and a desert for the two of us and that was plenty. The flavors and sauces are excellent. Definitely order a flatbread as it is great to get the last bit of the sauces. We started with the smoked burrata and asparagus. Followed by the chorizo, salmon and pork belly. Our favorite was the grilled chorizo. I tend toward vegetarian but I enjoyed all the dishes. If you like chocolate, don’t miss the chocolate fondant. I could have ordered another!!
Absolutely amazing each and every time - I genuinely can't recommend them enough. Their dishes are always special and the presentation is absolutely beautiful - I guarantee that you won't be able to get them anywhere else. You can absolutely tell that the chef has an amazing palate as well, their flavour combinations are just something special - some of them shouldn't work but they 100% do. The place has great ambiance and lovely staff as well, I really can't say anything bad about them!
Absolutely amazing! Such a delicious menu. Would be coming back. Tried mussels too which were perfectly cooked.
Enjoyed the tapas here, very good. Customer service was good once we were moved to a better table. Initially placed on a table by the thoroughfare by the stairs, but my husband asked for a better table, at first the waitress said they were fully booked even though there were clearly empty tables but another lady stepped in and then we were moved downstairs to a lovely booth. Hence the 4 stars, otherwise would have been 5 stars.
It's an awesome tapas restaurant. Great selection of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes, tried some from each category, wasn't disappointed. Bit pricey but it's central London so what can you do
The only plate we would recommend is the burrata. The rest not amazing, the octopus was good but pretty small size.
