Salut! fuses the best of European cuisine, with an indulgent a la carte menu serving contemporary reworkings of British Sunday Lunch dishes.
Wooden tables and vintage furnishings give an old-school, comforting feel and is one of the top must-visits of Islington.
Starters have a focus on quintessentially British ingredients given a modern spin. Beef carpaccio comes with pickled mushrooms and shaved pecorino and is the perfect antitode to typical gut-busting appetisers, along with a goat’s cheese, blood orange & almonds. Other options include leek and potato velouté with whipped salted cod and a Mediterranean meets Blighty platter of grilled squid and chorizo served with broad beans, potato and a springy parsley puree.
For mains, why not try the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly which comes on a bed of torched cabbage and onion jam. There are also delicious fillets of sea trout, slow-roasted beef cheek and stone bass with anchovy sauce.
To finish, sweets like olive oil cake with rhubarb and lavender are a perfectly British choice, though the panna cotta with meringue and sorbet is also a decadent treat.
