This is one of my favourite views ever, it’s what home is to me and Salt displays a bloody good view of it! It overlooks the main entrance to the coastal walkway and you can see the coast quite a bit up North! It’s right in the centre of town too so it’s a lovely hotspot for brunch; try one of their house wines with their seafood, it definitely really suits where it’s located!

Salt is one of the fanciest restaurants I have ever been to, so you can only imagine what their soups would be like! For lunch and dinner, they have a homemade soup of the day so there’s some variety there, that’s also served with warm freshly made bread. It’s perfect for a starter or even as a whole meal if you’re not too hungry.

Salt for me is like the fancy restaurant of Taranaki. The presentation, food, decoration and service are all very 5 star (even if it is only 4 stars). They serve you fancy meals that aren’t just for a tiny piece of meat; there’s actually something substantial on the plate, and that’s what I love most about this place. It’s also very convenient to have a hotel attached to it for a nice weekend away from it all, or just for an overnight stay.

The winter menu at Salt is very impressive. I’ve been lucky enough to be wined and dined there twice this winter and was not disappointed. They claim to be a four star restaurant, but if you’ve been there, clearly they are a five. Try going in for dinner one night and you’ll see on the menu there’s a beautiful Herb crusted Lamb Fillet with a white onion Ratatouille, how nice does that sound? And if that doesn’t take your fancy, have an EIGHT ounce beef fillet with hand cut chips and a herb chilli butter; yum.

Service is exceptional and food is also fantastic! Favourite restaurant in New Plymouth by far!
