SALT

Last Sunday we went to SALT for Frances' farewell brunch. SALT is located in the Lido disctrict 丽都 in NW Beijing, known for being a quiet expat area.

SALT is an upscale restaurant that serves a modern western cuisine. It has won a number of expat foodie awards including Best Restaurant, Best Steak, Best Contemporary Cuisine, etc. They have a great brunch set menu that's not to expensive, you can choose 2 course (138 RMB) or 3 course (158 RMB).

I had the cold muscles (not pictured) which were fresh with a tangy flavor.


Here we have some sort of soup that Denis ordered. Seemed okay.


Here's my main dish, risotto. The rice was fine and taste was fine, nothing special though, what I should have ordered was....


The STEAK! This was the highlight of the brunch and I didn't even order it. The steak was very jucy and soft and done just right at medium rare. Sauce was also delicious, I will have to come back to order a full portion for myself!



Banana pancakes with chocolate sauce for dessert. The bananas were good but pancakes were weird....sort of hard and crispy, not soft and fluffy...i think they got a bit too creative here. Chocolate made it all better though.

Score: 3/5, if i ordered steak would have been 4/5
