In 2005, we started as a family business, and our family-style approach of offering genuine hospitality and meals designed for conversation has always been the heart of A Touch of Salt. Over the years, we have perfected our restaurant to become one of the best casual fine-dining restaurants in the North.We take pride in being appreciated by the locals of Townsville as well as travellers from all over Australia.

    We did the five course menu for Valentine’s Day but on the Saturday. The food was amazing. Each course was something completely different. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for dinner, just be prepared to be a bit full, so don’t plan a night of dancing after!

    Amazing food and service as always. The ONLY downside was my fault for booking an outside table so early was it was a bit warm. I think if dining before 7pm during summer look at an indoor table.

    This restaurant is a true hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. It boasts an extensive wine selection paired with dishes to suit every palate. Standout highlights include the haloumi appetiser, the duck main, and the gnocchi—all flavourful, satisfying, and expertly crafted. The portions are generous, the flavours exceptional, and the prices competitive for fine dining, all without compromising on quality. We've never been disappointed and can't wait to return!
