Saltyard in Camden

The Salt Yard has had great reviews both here and from friends. Unfortunately the experience does not live up to the hype.The food is over ambitious from a chef who does not have the skills to execute it. Some dishes over seasoned, some under seasoned and all of them poorly balanced. I’d go as far as to say some were almost inedible.Service was dreadful, the same dish being brought twice, a long wait between and bottled water replaced with tap water (and charged for). Our neighbouring table also seemed to be having the same problem. A first for me , we refused to pay the service charge There are better restaurants in London

Tuvimos una noche fabulosa, la comida era increíble, sobre todo la merluza con mejillones horneados y granos, el vino también era muy buena. El servicio era excelente, y también tuvimos la compañía de Robbie Savage. Debe ser un buen lugar. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

La comida era fantástica! Por el contrario, el servicio era inaceptable. No obtener el nombre de la camarera, pero ella era claramente harto con su trabajo. Algo que no queríamos tener que tratar con una noche de Navidad con los colegas. No mencionar al director en la noche, pero no me importa menos.

Compartimos un número de platos entre nosotros tres, incluyendo el arancini de queso de cabra y espárragos con el postre churos. La comida era muy deliciosa y el camarero era capaz de recomendar un buen gin a nuestros huéspedes que fue bien recibido. Gracias

Hemos oído sobre este lugar de un amigo que vive en Londres. Si te encanta tapas, este es el lugar para venir. Todas las tapas que teníamos eran increíbles, y teníamos un montón de sabor. Había suficiente en cada placa para 2 personas para compartir. Los precios eran justos, y el servicio era genial. El propietario hizo que todo el mundo era feliz, y conversó con los clientes. Nuestro camarero era muy amable y atento. El ambiente es elegante pero informal. Sin duda, volveremos la próxima vez que estés en Londres!

Metimos en la oportunidad aquí y viejo amigo. con Lugar estaba completamente lleno, pero aún así nos las arreglamos para encontrar espacio y nos hicieron sentir valorado. La comida era exquisita, con una amplia gama de las tapas más deliciosas. Muy recomendable y volvería en cualquier momento.

Spanish tapas have taken over London and Salt Yard is certainly one of the benchmarks. Went with two friends and the food was faultless.

Tres de nosotros comimos aquí y pedimos 3 pescado, vegetales y 3 tapas de 3 carne además de una tabla de embutidos y dos botellas de vino, y llegó a las 160 libras. Nos pareció que valía la pena ya que cada plato de comida que salieron era delicioso y el vino también era genial. Todo el personal era muy amable y el servicio era atento, sin exagerar. había un plato de polenta y destacar un lento que todos hombro cordero me encantó pero realmente no nos podemos quejar cualquiera de los platos. Sólo pierde una estrella para la carta de vinos, un poco caro.

La comida en Salt fue difícil de criticar. Optamos por el menú de tapas en lugar de menú, y me dio la impresión de que se puede consumir con la confianza de que lo que sale de la cocina se delicioso. Al no ser un experto en cocina española, esta parecía una gran variedad de platos auténticos, salvo para el queso macaroni (la falta de autenticidad no nos impidió de ordenar, sin embargo).El servicio era amable y atento. Mi única queja es que el entorno no coinciden con la calidad de la comida: se siente un poco dingey y la decoración le vendría bien una reforma. Yo diría que el restaurante Ember (parte del mismo grupo) es un mejor lugar, así que puede ser la mejor opción si usted viene aquí para una ocasión especial.

Big group of us went for a friend's birthday. Staff were friendly and made some good recommendations. I really enjoyed the food and it was all beautifully presented. I recommend ordering lots and sharing!

A small beautifully quaint Spanish restaurant. Great friendly service. As would be expected a good wine choice. Excellent food - amazing flavours and textures. Dessert was one the best we have ever had. Definitely going back and or trying their various sister restaurants.

Very good Spanish restaurant, always wanted to go but never found the time!!! Well now I did! Attentive and polite service good wine list and very good food. My favourite: Baked Hake, Slow cooked Octopus and Ricotta dumplings!!! Definitely will go back!

Nos fuimos antes de ir al Royal Albert Hall. Todos encontramos el personal muy profesional, atento y el servicio fue justo para ambas tapas y bebidas. Ciertamente no nos sentimos presionados, llegamos a las 12. 00 a la izquierda en 2. 30:00 h. Todas las tapas eran sabrosas todos nos gustó especialmente las flores de calabacín con queso de cabra y panceta de cerdo con chispeante era el cielo.Sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré.

Mi esposa y donde alojarse en un hotel de la calle de Charlotte.Fuimos para una rápida copa de vino a las 5 de la tarde y nos alojamos por 2 horas.Los platos de tapas eran frescos y sabrosos, el vino fue genial, la música era justo y el camarero era muy amable y hablador.Sin duda volveré allí de nuevo.

Fabulous food & great service but what a shame that there's a time limit. Surely the whole idea of tapas is to take your time, as much time as you want but we were rushed. If you're billing your restaurant as a Mediterranean tapas bar, do as the Mediterraneans do & allow customers to relax and stay as long as they like. Larger tables would also be a good idea to hold all the delicious goodies on offer more comfortably.

We went for a quick anniversary lunch. Ordered the patatas bravas, crab, hake, chicken, lamb rump and panacotta and chocolate mousse in dessert. All of them were very tasty. Dishes were made one by one so we could eat all of them warm and in peace rather than all dishes served together. Will definitely go back and have recommended to all my friends and colleagues already. Very friendly and relaxed service.

Food quality and taste 3.5 some tapas very good and some average. In general small portions.Pretty crowded place with average service.

I really miss Fino and from other peoples' recommendations thought this could be the top end Tapas restaurant to replace it, But although the prices are high the venue is not as classy, the service is not as slick and the food is not as impressive. Good yes, bit doesn't have the same wow factor. And for down to earth tapas in a relaxed atmosphere one is much better off propping up the bar in Barrica, just along the road or at Morito in Exmouth Market.

Really delicious tapas, everything we ordered was just sublime. The courgette flowers are obviously amazing being the signature dish. The salt cod and steamed Cronish plaice two particularly tasty dishes worth a mention.Lovely rage of sherries to go along with the food. And the service was fab too. Didn't catch the guy's name, but super friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back

Beautiful tasting food, amazing flavour combinations, relaxed and friendly service.It's delightful, each mouthful is delicious

My husband and I really enjoyed our meal at Saltyard, the tapas was fresh, tasty and imaginative and every dish we tried was fantastic. We started with the Italian charcuterie selection Finocchiona (Tuscany), Wild Boar Salami (Tuscany) Capocollo (Emilia Romagna) with fresh bread and thoroughly enjoyed it. For the tapas we cose chorizo, pork belly, salt cod, plaice and patatas fritas. Every dish was beautifully presented and wonderfully flavoured and the portions were generous and all came with some sort of accompaniment. We really did not have room for dessert but shared a Valrhona Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse with Mini Churros, Oloroso Poached Plum and Salted Chocolate Crumb which was my favourite dish so I'm glad we didn't skip dessert.I would highly recommend the Saltyard, we went on a Tuesday night and it was packed, the tables are rather cosy but it all contributes to the overall atmosphere of the place which is intimate yet buzzing. You can even split the bill on an app if you are going dutch and we both received £5 off for using it.

Lovely place, visited for lunch mid-week only a few tables occupied but pleasant atmosphere. The food is seriously good, the courgette flowers are a treat but not for sharing so you need to order one per person. The croquettes were delicious, though served lukewarm we have several other dishes but my favourite was the pork belly with beans - a delightful little dish which was delicious. For dessert I would recommend the ricotta dumplings. Wine list is very good and the white rioja was excellent value.

Brilliant place food of top quality a little bit pricey but worth it. Service of an excellent standard, a place to visit with a few friends so you can mix and match food

3 of us went and we had 8 tapas dishes plus a selection of Iberico meats. The meats including bellota ham, chorizo and salsicce were delicious. We had some eel croquettes, octopus (really delicious and light), chorizo and beans, porcini croquettes, pork belly, boquerones and olives plus one more dish I cannot recall. The service was very ttentive, bringing the dishes bit by bit rather than serving them all at once, and we enjoyed every single dish. An interesting Spanish beer and the house white and red were very drinkable. Total bill was about £160, so it is not cheap, the tapas vary from about £7 to £9.50 each in the main. However, we would thoroughly recommend the restaurant if you are in the area and it is worth going to if not! A must!

OK. I'm old and a misery. I just don't want to share my conversation/seat space/bottle of wine with the people next to me! It is so ridiculously cramped that it's hard to just consider how spectacularly good the food is. From arrival, breathing in was a necessity. Staff are friendly, efficient and well-informed. The food is seriously good with some nice little twists (although I can't give you a single stand-out dish). Wine list is a tad expensive but well-represented. Overall - really good. Would I go back - yes. Just prefer the peacefulness of Iberica!!!

Very good quality food, casual relaxed atmosphere was reasonably priced and would recommend a visit if you like Spanish tapas selection type food

Salt Yard is one of 4 in Salt Yard group with Ember Yard (Berwick Street jct with Oxford St), Opera Tavern (covent Garden), Dehesa (Oxford Circus). You'll find superb charcuterie, cheeses and wine at each and a menu of mostly small plates which has some overlap. Places are informal, physically very different (large Opera Tavern v small Salt Yard) and full of dishes you won't see often inspired by Spanish and Italian traditions. Salt Yard's ranking on Trip Advisor doesn't make any sense - consider that Time Out megazine publishes London's '5 dishes to die for" each year and Salt Yard Group has two - fried courgette flower stuffed with blue cheese drizzled with honey (available at all) and a pork burger only available at Opera Tavern. My only disappointment is the way most dishes now cost about £8 rather than £5 or £6 of a few years back. Still special for the money...

"Great tapas but very expensive with excellent service"

We have been to saltyard lots of times in the past and have rated it as one of our favourite restaurants. However, last Friday we were left very very disappointed. Unfortunately saltyard seems to have become complacent with its growing popularity and are now going to lose longer, loyal customers as they lose their customer services values.Last Friday, we ran out of wine before all of our food arrived so wanted 1more glass with our food but,despite it only being 10.45pm on a Friday, we were told they were no longer serving wine. We would have found this irritating but wouldn't have made a fuss had the 'manager' (chris) not been so rude. We have never been spoken to in such a way and were mortified when he smirked and laughed rather than try to resolve the situation. When we got up to leave, he seemed to think it was funny and refused to offer an apology for his attitude. He had no care that customers were unhappy and seemed unbothered to be losing customers mid-meal. Such a shame that we won't be returning again.

Took my daughter there yesterday for a birthday lunch and we stayed for 5 hours! The food was amazing and our waiter was especially knowledgeable regarding the wine list. The portions were.beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The ground floor has a much buzzier atmosphere than downstairs which is where we were but we had the table just at the bottom of the stairs which was brilliant. Would definitely go again.

"If it were a little less expensive, I'd go for excellent. The service is friendly and informal, and the food is really interesting."

Good,worth the walk. Wine list is particularly good by the glass. Friendly. See title for more detail.

Еда обычная. Персонал очень приветлив и дружелюбен. Приносят по одной порции, которую типа, надо делить. Стоит недорого. Могу прийти еще раз, если буду очень голодна...

"Buzzy, fun venue - good choice of tapas. Shame you can't book on Saturdays though."

Best tapas in the hood. It would be a 6 if it wasn't for the price, omg its expensive. Top quality food and wine, perfect ambience. You done good.

Took a date here last night.I've been a few times and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere.The restaurant covers two floors and I've always preferred the street level as there is more atmosphere.The tapas are first rate. About 5 is enough for two people. The average price is about £8 per tapas.Wine is around £30 a bottle and there is a good and wide section.The service is friendly and unrushed: they just check in while you chat away.I would recommend both as a romantic eve or with friends chatting away over dishes.Overall we paid £85 for two with coffee: which I thought was value for the standard of food

The menu options were very good - with a fine dining spin on some traditional tapas dishes. The slight oddity was the lack of Spanish wines to have with the meal. I'd recommend Salt Yard for a business lunch venue and use it again.

We hadn't booked but they managed to seat 5 of us. This place is buzzing with life it was busy and vibrant. The Tapas menu is very good. The selection of tapas food that was arriving on our table was delicious, very well presented and bursting with flavour. We tried a variety of dishes that were delivered to our table in good time. I would definitly go back here. Their staff were very good and the place is great

Fabulous place, we ate downstairs and nice atmosphere.. We started with 4 plates tapas then progressed to another 3. The portions were good size but the best was the eel croquetas. The wine list was variable and had good choices on it. The staff were more than attentive and nothing to much trouble, Will definately have a return visit

Nice noisy atmosphere and close to the center of London but really a bit pricey. The food was Tapas type and tasty but as is often the case in restaurants they were putting a very hefty markup on the wine. £40 for one of their cheaper wines was to say the least a bit steep. I would go again for the atmosphere and food but drink water ! - It also seemed a bit steep to pay £12 for a plate of slices of Jambon and Salami. Prices are important in these days and there are plenty of Tapas bars so owners need to be careful not to price out clients.
