Salona

It is easy to understand why Salona has become a home away from home for many of their regular patrons.

The restaurant showcases regional specialities from across the Hellenic Republic. Every year they send one of the Salona team to Greece on a mission to find healthy traditional classics. These recipes are brought home and delivered at the restaurant, with a Salona twist.

Their latest Aegean adventure has brought back some amazing and fresh flavour additions to the menu.

We left our courses in the hands of the capable chefs, allowing us to sample a vast range of dishes which, on this return visit, included a selection of small tastes, meze plates, mains and dessert.

Our feast began with pita bread served with three beautiful dips. These well formulated dips comprised a range of bold and vibrant flavour combinations to whet our appetites.
We particularly enjoyed the croquettas. The croquettas were wonderfully crisp, the filling was flavoursome and perfectly seasoned.

The show stopper from our visit was “The Smoked Grill”, comprising local grilled meats somked in front of you with aromatic thyme and sage. Not to be missed. Our evening concluded on a sweet end with beautifully made Greek biscuits and sweet treats. We loved the traditional execution of these.

Salona presents diners with an abundance of Greek cuisine that exudes passion and humility with affable staff patrolling the bustling dining room masterfully to create a warm and convivial atmosphere.
