    My favourite place in the Winelands. The three-course pairing menu at Salt for R455 is the best value for money anywhere and the food and wine are sensational. Each time I return, I like it even more. Glorious venue and exceptionally competent and charming staff. A shout out to chef Craig Cormack, too. Every visit is a treat.

    I ate at Salt once before and it was amazing! Personally I felt the choice was average and definitely not worth the money we paid and I could have had the same steak but better at our local steak house. Choice was very minimal! Waiter did not fill wine glasses once and also did not remove menus and dirty plates were not removed.
