The service and food was excellent , we thoroughly enjoyed the meal . The restaurant has an excellent location overlooking the Market Square
Unfortunately the room lacks any sort of cosyness or ambience, with all the tables just set out in a grid pattern
It was valentines night but you never would have known , no nod to the celebration , no music

Simply the best restaurant in Salisbury. Good choice of dishes, the beetroot and goat curd is to die for, and solid variation of wines and other drinks.
This is tucked away above Costa Coffee on the Marketplace and if you blink you miss it! Definitely worth a try.

This restaurant provides a good varied quality menu with both the food and service being exemplary. On my visits to Salisbury I would always select The Allium if it is available.
