Drawing heavily on the flavours of Spain and Italy, Salt Yard is a tapas bar that likes to mix up its influences. While upstairs is a charcuterie bar for lighter bites, downstairs is the more formal restaurant with tables tightly packed. There you'll be presented with the inventive tapas menu, divided into vegetable, meat and fish dishes. But most important is the particular emphasis they place on the quality of the ingredients. Cured hams and salamis include Jamón Ibérico de Bellota - made from semi-wild acorn-guzzling pigs from Southern Spain. Perfect prosciuttos from Alto Adige and herb flecked salamis from Tuscany come served on wooden boards. For vegetarians, the signature dish is courgette flowers stuffed with goats-cheese and drizzled with honey. With a sister restaurant Dehesa in Ganton Street and the Blackfoot Butchers opposite Salt Yard in Charlotte Place, owners Simon Mullins, Sanja Morris, and chef Benjamin Tish are taking tapas to new places.
