Salt Restaurant in Tallinn – Bold Flavors

Salt Restaurant, located at Vase 14 in Tallinn’s Kadriorg district, is a small and cozy eatery offering exciting flavors from various world cuisines. Known for its creative menu and homely yet professional service, Salt brings bold and interesting flavor nuances to each dish.

I visited Salt Restaurant to explore their three-course menu.

During the FoodLover Restaurants Week from February 13th to 23rd, Salt offers a special 3-course menu for €30:

Brandy-Blanched Chicken Hearts – Spicy creamy sauce with parsley-lemon brioche crouton
Thai Spicy Mussels – Coconut-tomato sauce with ginger, chili, and coriander
Chocolate Ganache – Rich and velvety, perfect for dark chocolate lovers

Menu & Review

✔ Brandy-blanched chicken hearts – I was a bit unsure of what to expect from this dish, as chicken hearts have always reminded me of a homestyle meal from childhood. But I was pleasantly surprised – the flavors were completely fresh and new! The chili and lemon sauce gave the dish a spicy kick that was absolutely mouthwatering. I can definitely recommend it!

✔ Thai-style spicy mussels – This is the kind of dish where you get to dig in and search for little bites in each shell 😋. The broth was simply amazing – the balance of chili and lime added a lovely zing, while the coconut’s smoothness was clearly present in the background. If you enjoy spicy food, this dish is made for you! And the best part – the house-made ciabatta, perfect for dipping into that delicious sauce, was a wonderful addition.

✔ Chocolate ganache – A perfect choice for true dark chocolate lovers! Rich, velvety, and full of deep chocolate flavor – the ideal way to end a spicy dining experience.

Salt Restaurant offers very friendly service and flavors that leave a lasting impression. Since it’s a small restaurant with an open kitchen, I definitely recommend booking a table in advance – this is the kind of place you’ll want to visit, and then come back to again!
