    The best food experience in a long time, the waiting staff was courteous and very knowledgeable with wine and olive oil recommendations. Food is full of flavour and highly recommend a couple of starters, a pasta to share between two and main course each. We tried the prawn and 3 pepper linguine for pasta, monkfish and grilled squid as mains with few starter and star of the menu bread and olive oil taster. Worth mentioning the calm and slow pace of bringing our food, did not make us feel rushed in anyway! for 2 of us we had the table for over 2 hours 30 mins, which is great as you don’t get to see that in London these days. Brilliant experience overall ! Thank You Team!

    Salt yard is an absolute banker for all food tastes. After recently sharing the delicious and incredibly generous taster menu at the Fitzrovia restaurant, I invited my vegetarian friend to the Borough one. She and I shared equally tasty vegetarian plates. Away from the madding crowd it is a place of total solace, from the food to all parts of the dining experience.

    This is the first time we visited this restaurant and it far exceeded its 4.2 star rating on trip advisor. We were served by a waiter called Abdul and he was simply brilliant. The menu was simple and the food was great. We visited the restaurant early before the theatre and it was a little quiet at first, but the atmosphere was nice once a few more tables were filled. My boys of 11 and 7 years old enjoyed their food and both declared that this restaurant was the best restaurant they had ever been to. We recommend this restaurant and we will visit again when we’re next in London for a family outing.
