Salt Vine

This venue has a great vibe with beautiful decor throughout. It has black as the dominant colour and a touch of colourful ‘tiles’ on the pillar, bar and also the dining table located outside.
I’ve had several dishes and all were delicious.
My favourite dishes:
Syrian string cheese cigar: I love how they are crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. The flavours are distinctively tasty for sure.
Falafel: crispy and delicious.
Chargrilled barramundi: barramundi is perfectly cooked. The combination of tahini dressing and walnut butter, pickled chilli and coriander is just perfect.
Grilled scotch fillet: oh wow, love this combination of merguez spices, carrot puree and paprika butter. The highlight for me is definitely the paprika butter. One-of-a-kind deliciousness.
For dessert I had the Baklava ice cream. The combination of flavours and textures are amazing. Crispy baklava pastry and delicious ice cream served with lots of pistachios, divine!
