Excellent food in atmospheric surroundings
Located in the centre of Copenhagen, Salt is a thriving Restaurant that delivers food with panache and bags of flavour. The atmospheric surroundings of a former Coffee and Tea Warehouse next to the harbour complete the package in this stylish destination, with a smart bar serving crisp chilled Carlsberg and Tuborg.
You can select from A La Carte or a set 2, 3 or 4 course menu which is what I did. The Terrine of mackerel and potato with lemon cream, gherkin and malt combined savoury, wonderfully spiced mackeral with a really soft cream froth. The Baked plaice was intelligently complemented with a creamy curried jus, giving it an southern eastern twist.
The real star was the fillet of beef with braised ox cheek, Jerusalem artichoke and mushrooms - wonderfully deep intense flavours complemented by a dash of red wine.
All in all an extremely enjoyable evening, complemented by impeccable, friendly without being intrusive, service. Each dish was explained in perfect English and the wine never reached the bottom of the glass. My kind of haunt...!
