Restaurant Salt

I got seared sardines for my early dinner and it was well seasoned and nicely cooked. It came with a minty/limey sauce which was very refreshing. It’s a seafood themed restaurant and Id love to go back and try more dishes.

This is a hidden gem of Tallinn. I can’t get over the taste. It’s small and cozy so early reservation is recommended. But OMG, the taste… everything I ate was divine 🙌🏼❤

Overall superb experience!
Fabulous and really tasty food. All the dishes (octopus, risotto, mussels) were tasty and didn’t leave you hungry. Wine selection was excellent and provided variety of options. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Their own beer was tasty too.
Atmosphere in this cozy and homey place is extraordinary, small dining room provides unique feeling. Some nice small details like golden tiles in the washroom.
A bit out of main streets and city center, but surely worth visiting. Reservations are highly recommended.

Great place. Cozy atmosphere and fantastic food! The service was fast and of high quality. There is also a very good wine selection!

Super experience again. Always. A tad too shoulder feeling. A tad too compressed. But not enough to break the cozy feeling. Especially if old school mates are situated next to you 😎

Hidden gem of Tallinn. We had a late dinner and the food was fresh and amazing! Stars of the evening were burrata,carpaccio and octopus dishes but others came close. Great service and presentation of the food.Space was a bit tiny inside,however that makes delivering that top quality food even more amazing. Only downsides ,if any, would be lack of air-conditioning inside the restaurant and personally i found duck dish a bit too simple,although cooked perfectly. Definitely worth the money and would recommend a visit to anyone looking for a great food.

We visited Salt on New Years eve and I can say that I've never been to a restaurant this atmospheric and authentic, and the food was some of the best I have eaten!

In a space that's probably around 50m² they have a small open kitchen corner and the tiniest "bar" alongside the dining room's wall and space for about 50 guests. It's an intimate setting for sure - the tables are very near each other, but not uncomfortably so.

Staff was smiling and attentive, and they seemingly had a good team together. Our waiter did a great job of recommending and introducing us dishes and pairing a matching wine with each one. I just wish that he could've said a bit more about them than just the country and grape, since their wine menu consists of wines from smaller, family-owned estates. I would've been interested to hear a few words about (even as a non-wine snob) what makes it special, why was it chosen to their restaurant.

Food was delicious! Everything from the presentation to the taste was pure perfection. The creative flavor combinations worked very well together and brought an explosion of flavor on each bite. Seafood (oysters and squid) were fresh. I especially enjoyed my ox tail.

Thank you, Salt folks 😊

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and amazing service! We had great evening with friends. Such a cozy place. Loved the food!

What a gem of a place! We came here by our friend’s recommendation and were surprised by the authenticity and taste of every dish we’ve ordered. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. We ordered duck dumplings and calf cheeks - the way the meat was prepared was outstanding. Chocolate truffles for dessert were a perfect finishing touch to a delicious dinner. Five star well deserved!

Had an amazing meal here. When we arrived the place was packed, however I had made a reservation. Unfortunately they were too full at the moment but the staff handled the situation incredibly well. They offered us drinks and said we could wait for 10-15 minutes and they would have a table for us. We chose to give everyone some breathing room and wait outside. After 15 minutes out table was ready just as they had said it would be.

The food was outstanding. The tofu bowl was bursting with unique flavors. Each item brought its own uniqueness leading to a perfect plate. The eggplant was the star and the tofu had this beautiful sweetness to it.

The coconut calamari was perfectly crisp and the carbonara sauce added great depth to the plate.

The duck dumplings were delicious. Served in an addictive harissa honey sauce.

Finally the New York cheesecake was the perfect end to the meal. Delicious, dense and tart with a strawberry sauce.

The food was all fresh, delicious and expertly prepared. The staff was a level of attentive I have not witnessed since moving away from the US. We greatly enjoyed our experience here and look forward to visiting again. Highly recommended.

This restaurant always delivers.
Aside from innovative recipes, beautiful plating and perfectly executed dishes, i really appreciate that SALT constantly updates and modifies their menu based on seasonal ingredients and the freshest produce available.
The vibe and buzzing atmosphere of the restaurant is unique. However, the space is limited so booking in advance is recommended and many visitors might find the restaurant ‘cramped’.
The service is attentive and friendly and helpful with navigating the menu.

My favourite dishes were
✨tartare
✨octopus 🐙
✨duck dumplings 🦆

The octopus was cooked to perfection, however slightly too salty for me.
Overall we had a great dining experience and I’m looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Look for shelter from the snow.
From the cold before you forego.
Enter one cosy wooden door,
Just as Alice Peak inside, implore.

Since this place will enchant you,
Grab your soul and heart, too.
The people laugh, live and laugh,
Enjoy Salt and forget the past.

The menu serves not less of amazing,
Might even contain a dish still blazing.
And I don't know what to get,
It me and menu tete-a-tete.

I am compelled by the menu and venue.
And with the first taste, I fall in love,
This must be a dream where I've found my heart.

What an amazing experience. Truly passionate people and food. I had just the lunch offer, but it was so unique.. amazing.

Cozy place, awesome food, friendly service.
We took Padrone pepper, Crispy frog legs, Spicy tigerprawns for starters
and Beef tenderloin with Mexican escabechado, Black cod Indonesian style and Grilled octopus. Everything was super tasty.

Bit crowded even on workdays, thus table reservation better to do in advance.

Interesting menu, great food and service. The place itself is quite small so may get crowded.

Amazing food. They always surprise with great new dishes. Service is excellent. And the place is super cosy.

Amazing! Tiny but great atmosphere with very friendly and attentive staff. The dishes were a perfect balance of simplicity and flavour. Tempura tiger prawns served in a brass martini glass made exciting with a spicy sauce. Delicate and tender lamb carpaccio. How do you make perch interesting? Fennel! Perfectly balanced with a cream sauce. Grilled octopus with sun dried tomatoes, parsley and… bonito flakes! The salt balanced off with red onion. Hard choice between New Zealand Mantua Sauvignon Blanc and Austrian Grüner Vertliner. Opted for the Grüner Vertliner as I grew up in Australia so had my fair share of New Zealand whites (they are fantastic) and did not regret the choice! Do not miss this restaurant if you are in Tallinn.

After many years, Salt still stays on top of my list in Tallinn. Perfection in a very cozy and small restaurant.

Wonderful service and amazing food. The place is small, but has really good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend visiting the place.

Cozy place, kind staff and great food.One starter, two main dishes with two glasses of white wine and one dessert costed 81 euros.

To cut a long story short - it is amazing! I was shocked by the taste of food there. It is better than some Michlene star restaurants. Maybe they sold their soil.
