Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this gem of a restaurant is a serene escape from the hustle and bustle outside. The restaurant's confidence shines through in its unfussy approach to dining. There are no extravagant displays or over-the-top presentations here; instead, the focus is squarely on the flavors. In a world where bigger often seems to be equated with better, it's refreshing to find a restaurant that is content to let its flavors do the talking. If you're looking for a dining experience that is quietly confident and utterly delicious, look no further than this hidden gem.

Salt in Stratford upon Avon is a real gem! It’s this cozy little place with a laid-back vibe, but don’t let that fool you – the food is seriously top-notch. I mean, it’s got a Michelin star, so you know it’s good, right? The chefs there are like artists, turning simple ingredients into these amazing dishes that are just bursting with flavor. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. They’re always up for a chat and really know their stuff when it comes to the menu. Speaking of the menu, it changes all the time, which is pretty cool because it means you can try something new with each visit. And the wine list? It’s not your usual fare – they’ve got some really interesting choices that pair perfectly with the food. Now, it’s not the cheapest place around, but you’re paying for quality. Plus, it’s in such a cute part of town, right near all the Shakespeare stuff, which makes it perfect for a special night out. Honestly, I can’t recommend Salt enough. It’s the kind of place you go to and immediately start planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your meal. Total must-try! 🍽️✨

Upon doing some research on places to eat in Stratford upon Avon, the Salt came up several times and based on the reviews we made a booking. And we were so pleased we did. The atmosphere and decor was very welcoming and the staff friendly and professional. As for the food it was one of the best meals we have ever had. We opted for the four course Winter Menu which was priced at £65 pp and also included nuts, olives and breads. Plus the most divine chocolates at the end of the meal. This was a truly amazing dining experience and reasonably priced which makes a change. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return when we visit again next year.

We had visited Salt quite a few years ago and were thouroughly impressed by both the food and the atmosphere. I booked a table for my wife's birthday four months in advance, making it clear in the reservation that one of our party can't have lactose. Two days before the reservation someone from Salt called to say that everything they serve contains lactose and they 'don't cater for that'. Had they told me that when I made the reservation, I would have still found it a slightly odd stance in this day and age, but that is their choice. But two days before the dinner, it left me desperately scrambling for a different special dinner for my wife's birthday. Unacceptable.

Excellent 7 course tasting menu at Salt. A leisurely evening when we weren't rushed through the courses and every course was explained to us by really friendly and attentive staff who were not intrusive. The menu consisted of 5 set course and two which had two choices. The taste combinations were exciting and everything from the little taster bites to the gorgeous desserts were beautifully presented and an explosion of flavours. My favourites were the little mushroom toasts to start and the cod with cocoa beans and a sauce split with lovage oil and the venison was melt in the mouth. My husband loved the sweetbreads with almonds as he rarely finds them on the menu. It was not cheap at £115 a head which is more than any other tasting menu we have had in the last twelve months and we spent just over £300 but it was a great evening.

Dined last night on the taster menu and it was exceptional. Been a few times previously where everything was good, however last night was the best. I’m a pescatarian and I had my own menu ready when I sat down. The stars of the night were the burford brown and miso and the desert that reminded me of vintage caramac chocolate and solero ice cream, genius together. Thank you for the great food and fantastic service, email correspondence previously was quick and accommodating. You made a birthday girl very happy!

Repeatedly tried to call - no answer. Answer phone said to email. Emailed and no response for 5 days. Visited in person to find it closed, despite their Google business page showing it open. Thai restaurant next door said they’re closed on school holidays… A reply a week later from this business says that the information of closure was available on a page on their website… not their homepage, not their answer phone, and not Google. If you have a gift voucher, seems you’ll have to plan months in advance to use it. Money down the drain. Would have hoped a ‘Michelin’ starred restaurant would have the basics of customer communication clear. Reply to the owner: Sadly, there was nothing ‘clear’ about the website. Unless you navigated to a random page, there was nothing clear about opening times/dates. ‘Clear’ would have been a simple banner with on the homepage. The most obvious comms opportunities were missed - and seeing as the owner can access their business Google account in replying, a shame no one could take the few minutes to mark the business as ‘closed’ on the world’s biggest search engine… ‘Google’…

We have visited all of the Michelin starred restaurants in Warwickshire and most of those in West Mids over the past year and chose the best one to return to at Christmas, my wife and I quickly decided that was Salt. This restaurant is pleasantly informal but intensely professional in every thing they do. The front-of-house staff are outstanding and food is off-the-scale brilliant. We spent well over 3 hours enjoying 8 plates of perfection from the tasting menu. The wine pairings hit the spot every time and 2 of the dishes were the best I have ever tasted. Absolutely dazzling experience from start to finish. Thanks to all the staff for your amazing efforts.

Fantastic experience. Wonderful staff who were so welcoming and really made us feel at home. Food was beautiful, not everyone liked every dish equally but all really interesting. Highlights were the 11 year old bread, the carrots (unbelievably good), the best beef we have ever had, and the fudge. The paired wines were great, and we were given just the right amount of information about them. We brought a dog who was also made welcome. Highly recommended.

Heard many mixed reviews about the “salt” experience and a few things about the management.From what I’ve heard from both the owner & management they are arrogant and think having a star to their restaurant is a personality trait…allot of this is shown from the replies from reviews from others experience within the establishment .Now let’s talk about food… I mean it’s great but not all that exciting, could be allot better seeing as it is a Michelin star! Service… the explanations of the dishes I wish where a bit more in detail explaining where the food was from when questioned where the venison was they employed had no clue and couldn’t explain more , a bit shocking seeing as that was the main course!! The team within the kitchen looked miserable and seeing as they where the on show for all the restaurant to see you would have thought they would have been a bit cheerful and looked like they wanted to be there! The toilets had a bit so pleasant smell to and when bringing this up witha member of staff, and they reasurred my it would be intended to, but to my surprise it was not. Seeing as this is the only Michelin star within stratford I expected allot better, but didn’t have high hopes from what the rest I heard .

Lovely restaurant, the food was fantastic and the staff were so attentive. I’d definitely return if I was in the area again. My only small critique was the limited drinks selection. I did notice the bar was quite small and the focus seemed to be on the wine. Purely personal preference and didn’t impact the overall experience.

I had booked Salt weeks ago to celebrate my Wife’s birthday. We had heard & read such good reviews about the restaurant that we thought it would be the perfect day to enjoy the special day . How very wrong we were . My Wife sadly became very unwell with the winter flu bug , so reluctantly we came to the decision to postpone the booking until the new year so we would both be fit & healthy to enjoy it properly. I tried phoning the restaurant before sending them an email explaining our decision & that I would be re-booking in January 2024 . Under their terms & conditions it did state that any cancellations within 48 hours would incur a payment of £35.00 per person to cover food costs . I then tried to phone on 4 more occasions to explain that we would love to re-book . However it went to their answer machine every time . Reluctantly I decided to drive 25miles to the premises to have the opportunity to discuss our dilemma face to face . On arrival I was greeted by a very polite female staff who after hearing my defence then asked another member of staff to talk to me . This member Aurelien then listened again before explaining their company policy of not transferring a booking date & that the £70.00 would not be refunded, even though I had explained it would be more advantageous to simply take that payment off my bill when I would eventually return. He flatly refused this & again reiterated their stance of covering food costs . I could tell by his demeanour that whatever I said wasn’t going to make any difference whatsoever. So a complete cancellation of the booking was going to be my only option.for a small restaurant that has taken years to achieve a Michelin star rating, their attitude towards a paying customer in times that are effecting everybody with the cost of living crisis,baffled & disappointed me . I felt completely let down by their service & I explained I would be taking my custom somewhere else . As I left I realised I hadn’t got his name so returned to ask him his name . At this point I was physically touched by another member of staff who then verbally threatened to hit me if I didn’t leave . This was on a Saturday lunchtime in front of other diners . Shocking behaviour by management & I was personally scared of my wellbeing now . I was then ordered to leave the premises which I did , but how can this behave acceptable in such an upmarket eatery . I’m sure the owner Paul Foster who has built this restaurant up to what it is today would be horrified by their actions . It takes years to build a reputation, yet can take minutes to ruin it . Shame on Salt.

Went there last weekend and had a very pleasant meal. The set taster menu offers a good variety of food and some very tasty courses. The highlights for us were the carrot cooked in chicken fat and the egg yolk with butternut squash and beer fried onions (both taste far better than they sound). The wine menu is varied and very reasonably priced based on our experience of similar restaurants. Service was flawless from the moment we entered to when we left. Everyone was friendly and service was with a smile, and plenty of jokes and conversation which again is not always the case in high end restaurants so it was very welcomed. I would highly recommend this restaurant and hope to visit again in the future

We enjoyed a special occasion here at Salt, and I've got to say from start to finish it hit the special occasion spot and impressed throughout. After seeing Paul Foster on James Martin show, it brought us here for an evening of gastronomic art. We were seated at front of house, quieter and more intimate. The menu (enclosed) compromised of carefully selected local produce, matched with an intense taste and texture exploration. Every course that came out was explained. The servers were fantastic and interested in their work. All of the courses offered flavours and matchings you would come to expect, I absolutely loved the chicken fat and crispy skin with carrot accompaniment, the lamb with cauliflower jus and charred sweetbreads....even the apple and blackberry came out with a delicious ice cream. We were offered a starter of home made bread and such a creamy butter, I wouldn't be surprised if that was freshly made too!? We sat at 7.30pm and had the table for the night, every course was paced just right and we chose our own wine to compliment each dish. This for us is a truly amazing experience! I think there's precious few restaurants that offer this, plus they do offer a chef's table - maybe something to think about next time - but you really do get what you pay for and this is high class fine dining without the pretentiousness....it was on a level most can understand and I think Mr Foster has gotten the balance exactly where it needs to be. There'll be a rotating menu, with seasonal produce so perhaps some will be more or less palatable for you, but if you have the time and money I urge you to book up for a venture into a different culinary world.... Oh, and ps....we swung by the next day and they were obviously having a team meeting with notepad.....I like to see this, it appears there's a happy team and this shines through in the food exhibited! A very special night, thank you...

This was my first experience at a Michelin Star restaurant, so I don't have any frame of comparison... but it was incredible! The service was fantastic, staff were friendly welcoming, and kindly talked us through the process and explained each meal in detail. The food itself was absolutely amazing. There was one course that wasn't to my preference, but that was just my own taste as everyone else loved it. The food was both incredibly tasty and beautiful, and although each dish is small I was so full by the end of the meal that I could barely move 😂. The restaurant is small but very pretty, and it was very clean - I was so confident in the cleanliness levels that I would have happily eaten off the table (not that I needed to obviously) and normally the idea of that would gross me out. It was a tad colder in the room than I would have liked, so if you are sensitive to the cold then make sure to bring a cardigan. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a memorable night out, and I cannot wait for a chance to go back again.

I took my BFF to Salt to celebrate her forthcoming 50th birthday - going for an experience rather than any other form of gift. And it hit the spot perfectly. As many others have written, the experience starts from when you walk through the door. The people involved are all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and clearly have a passion for what they do. We had the four courses plus cheese and it was 'just enough'. I always worry about tasting menus as sometimes the portions are skimpy, but that isn't the case here. My friend and I both agreed that each course was well thought out and balanced. Our least favourite was the potato one, but that's said in light of the others being exceptional. It isn't a cheap place to eat, so would be a 'treat' for a special occasion. I'm pleased that we have been there and would go back in a heartbeat.

Charlie Chaplin once said “the saddest thing I can imagine would be to get used to luxury” (or something like that!). A few years ago our experience at Salt would have blown my mind, which was not quite the case. Having been lucky enough to visit a number of excellent fine dining restaurants in recent years one could easily become blasé or fussy - something I have tried to keep in mind in composing this review. There are plenty of real positives here. The service was friendly, efficient and helpful. The pace of service (not infrequently a problem with tasting menus) was just right - a little over 3 hours from start to end. The high-octane fast-talking sommelier clearly loved his work, explaining the flight of wines (which were served in generous portions and all suitably chosen) with enthusiasm and in a lot of detail!. Some of the food was excellent. A couple of the other dishes, although pleasant and clearly cooked to a high standard, we found a little less exciting, perhaps lacking the memorable flavour sensations that we have experienced elsewhere. Presentation was very nice, although a slight obsession with using bowls rather plates might be reviewed. Being able to see the chef patron and his sous chef at work was interesting - but oddly their rather sullen demeanour and interaction with one another (hardly any sign that they were enjoying themselves at any point) ended up detracting a little from my enjoyment of the evening. Overall, it was a fine meal, in a lovely setting, and we could see why Michelin awarded a star.

Service was exceptional, attentive, great synergy and timing throughout, 4 separate staff served us in total. All courses were delicious, our favourites was the Irish beef, tart starter, smoked potato dish and the pickled carrot dish, exquisite presentation for all dishes.

A four course menu was costed at £65. No choices were offered or potential for substitution from another menu. The first course was a very small potato and the second was half an onion. These were cooked in unusual ways but the portions were very small, especially the potato. The onion was not pleasant. The restaurant made it clear that if customers did not like a course no alternative would be offered. The fish course was well cooked but was a small portion. The highlight of the meal was the dessert which was good, as was the wine. It seemed clear that the restaurant regarded customers' opinions as of no account: if they did not like the food that was the customers' problem and there would be no replacement. Overall, poor value and attitude from a restaurant with a Michelin star.

Now the food it was average had a lot better in a normal restaurant pork snatching was soft food not hot wine was warm had to keep asking for ice. Restaurant was dark & grubby needs freshening up. The toilets are dirty & smelly needs to be refitted. The ladies was out of order. Stay away. Go to a main stream restaurant don’t get ripped off.

Tiny restaurant with super delicious food. After having a month of 60th birthday celebrations in many restaurants in London l can honestly say Salt food is up there with the best. Great food great service great price.

Initial good start for visit on 29th June. First 2 courses v.good but after eating scallops my wife started to feel unwell and sweetbreads with black garlic was not good and even the smell made my wife feel worse. We asked them to hold main course but after 10 minutes my wife felt she had to get home in case of sickness in the restaurant. Immediately we said we had to leave we were presented with full bill and no commiserations or even a small incentive to return given. I accepted to pay full bill but thought perhaps a voucher for a proportion might be a nice gesture. Nothing was forthcoming and we were ushered out swiftly. Attitude of responsible staff was appalling.

Very welcoming restaurant with unique food proposals. Knowledgeable and friendly staff guide you through meals and wines. I appreciate the high quality ingredients in a relax environment. Well located in the center of Stratford-Upon-Avon.

We had an exceptional taster menu here for lunch. The food and service were top notch. The atmosphere is casual and pleasant given the quality of the food.

Wonderful relaxed atmosphere from the moment you enter the restaurant. The knowledge from the staff members made the experience so great and they continued this throughout the service. The variety of the food was amazing and wine pairing was a highlight (they certainly know what they are doing) I would highly recommend Salt if you want an experience for a special occasion

Another excellent dinner at Salt. Living in Stratford, we are so lucky to have many good restaurants and Salt is right up there as one of the best. Not only is the menu imaginative, with the best of local produce but the service from the knowledgable staff is superb. A very good (and well priced) wine list tops off a great dining out experience. Make sure you book a table!

We were v disappointed by our Spring menu dinner. What were were given was well cooked and presented but one asparagus spear as a starter and one v small lamb cutlet as a main course is really not good value . Staff were v attentive but we will not be hurrying back. Plenty of other Michelin starred restaurants where you can eat a proper meal!

Been to many Michelin star restaurants but this one will stick in my memory We had an amazing night, the food, service, ambience was exceptional. Each course has been curated with excellence and class Thank you for an amazing experience, everyone who was on service 18th May 2023 was attentive and faultless. Apart from the guys who don’t wash pans for Laura’s service quick enough, you need to be more assertive xo

Came here for a 6 course lunch as part of my 60th birthday celebrations and it was fantastic! The staff were knowledgeable, professional but so friendly. Especially the young fella who mostly served us, Callum. Our Mulleted headed mate!! The restaurant was relaxed and we were made welcome by everyone. The food was superb, every course seeming better than the last.. The carrot dish was a revelation. It was lovely for one of the chefs to come out just before we left so we could offer our thanks. cannot recommend Salt highly enough and urge you to go. you don't have to have 6 courses and wine flights if you want to keep costs down but you won't regret it if you do! Thank you to everyone at Salt, mainly Callum! (hope i got his name right, it got a bit blurry after the meal!) Glendon, Sam, Sarah & Matt
