Salt is a cosy little restaurant in Kadriorg. The place can sit up to 30 people and it's literally home away from home for both: those enjoying a quick business lunch or those sipping bubbly over oysters during dinner. The menu features classic dishes across the world, made using the freshest ingredients from the local markets and other European countries. And believe me, they take the "across the world" part very seriously here: San Francisco crab salad, bavette and cucumber noodles, marinated with soya and maple syrup, Sicilian shrimp stew, celery veloute with Vacherin cheese and salted granola, their famous grilled octopus, - these are just a few to name from their constantly changing menu. The open kitchen jazzes it up even more - everyone can see the masters @ work. The heart and soul of the fingerlicking good food habitat, the lady of the house is my former boss from ZARA, Tiina Treumann, enthusiastic and talented in many ways.
I wanted to visit Salt for a long time and Tallinn Restaurant Week came in handy. We started off with some lovely chicken liver pate with red onion jam and roasted olive bread, followed by Korean style ramen noodle soup with crispy pork belly, poached egg and kimche. Chocolate delice with salted caramel and pumpkin cream with crue de cacao and mandarin sorbet were both perfect to seal the deal. Extra points for the atmosphere and Tiina's personal and hearty service. We will definitely be coming back for that tdf octopus and those oysters.
Open from Tuesday to Friday for lunch and dinner reservations and Saturdays for dinner only.
