Our Story

Salt & Lemon entered a new chapter in June 2026 under new ownership, while continuing the values that made it a welcoming destination. Built on a passion for exceptional ingredients, warm hospitality, and memorable dining experiences, the restaurant remains dedicated to creating moments that bring people together. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared using quality ingredients, and every guest is welcomed with genuine care. From our kitchen to your table, we are committed to delivering fresh flavours, attentive service, and an experience that feels both refined and inviting.
