Great for brunch
Kid-friendly

Bright and airy, with a vintage retro style and featuring distressed wooden tables topped in white marble, salvage greenhouse window frames and comfy linen banquettes, Salt continues Avoca’s emphasis on serving delicious, seasonal dishes with largely locally sourced ingredients. Salt's name comes its Salthill locale - which itself was derived from salt works that were once here - plus the nearby sea and, of course, the seasoning. Menus are fresh and interesting (see below), with plenty of appetizing salads and lighter lunch dishes, reasonably priced for the casual mid-week crowd.

change of ownership has meant much lower quality. Very average for the cost

Had booked outside seats but none available and had to go to the take away area. There were very limited vegan options- a couple of salads! Food needed to be purchased from inside the shop to eat outside and the service was patchy at best with half the order missed and poor customer service in general. Expensive and disappointing

We booked for 6:15 and the. Someone phoned at 5pm to say the kitchen closes at 6:30 and that the web site hadn’t been updated. So in other words don’t bother coming. We didn’t

Avoca salt took a booking for a table of 8 at 6.15 when they close at 7pm? We arrived and were told we had to have our orders in in the next 15 mins .on the website it says open until 8pm .. needless to say we all left and found somewhere locally who took our booking last minute. Grateful as it was a busy Saturday evening in December .

I went for breakfast and requested a slight change to a standard menu item, but it was initially served incorrectly. However, they quickly corrected it without making me wait too long. The waitstaff were very kind, and the environment was clean and bright. It's a place I would definitely like to visit again.

Food very mediocre. Not like the Avoca of old. Annoying the way breakfast/brunch finishes at 1130 and the essentially serve coffee and pastries only for an hour before lunch starts at 1230. Most restaurants have an all day brunch option with no break at weekends.
