Salt & Plum in Hammersmith and Fulham

Looking for a quick and tasty meal before a concert at the Apollo theatre, around the corner, we found Salt and Plum. With a warm and friendly greeting, we were presented with complimentary fresh, hot pide bread served with whipped feta as we looked at the menu. The menu is excellent with select mezze, starters and mains and a range of pide and lahmacun, catering well for both vegetarians and meat eaters. We had humus, Aegean roasted vegetables, fasulye with rice and the Topaki Chicken. All were excellent and seemed authentic. The service was discreet but attentive and charming, the ambience relaxed and the open kitchen allowed us to compliment the chef in person. A great start to an excellent evening. We shall be back!

Das Essen hat gut geschmeckt,Bedienung war sehr freundlich! Schnelle Bedienung. Lokal dürfte schöner Dekoriert sein.

We booked The Salt and Plum for a pre-concert meal. The restaurant was modern, the food really good, as was the service. The waiter was friendly and helpful with the menu. We will definitely book again next time we’re at The Apollo for a concert.

Salt and Plum Our meal at Salt and Plum was disappointing. After eating the very lovely bread and Turkish cheese on arrival, we ordered a salad, a cold hummus, and the goats cheese pide to share. The salad was more of a small salsa size, and the hummus a small smear with no bread. Still, we looked forward to our pide - worth £15.50 - which we asssumed would be more generous. The pide arrived, underwhelmingly small, and tasting of very little. We asked our server whether it was indeed the goats cheese pide, as we couldn’t taste it. He came back from the kitchen to explain they’d run out of goats cheese and had substituted more Turkish cheese - an unsalted, bland tasting crumbly cheese, nothing like goats cheese. We explained we’d specifically ordered the goats cheese because we wanted goats cheese. The server goes back to the kitchen and returns with the tin of Turkish cheese to impress how great this cheese is. Once again we explain we wanted goats cheese, and that this cheese means the pide tastes of nothing. Eventually the chef sends over a feta pide and we return the zero-goats-cheese pide to the kitchen. It’s fine. We’re charged for the goats cheese pide. We no longer have the energy to argue about it. Poor value for money and the dishes are nowhere near as colourful and generous as the website images. The Turkish white wine was the best thing about it. We wouldn’t go back and are still annoyed we paid for that bloody pide.

Lovely dinner pre-theatre. Food delicious and the staff could not have been more friendly Great range of starters and mains. Bread to die for
