About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Salt Yard is an award-winning charcuterie bar and restaurant serving modern tapas inspired by the flavours and produce of Spain and Italy.

The tapas are complemented by charcuterie and cheese boards and we have a wide selection of excellent wines and sherries. Flexibility is key to Salt Yard. Customers can enjoy a full spread of tapas: or come in simply for a glass of red wine and a plate of cheese, a coffee and a delicious pudding, or even just a perfect martini and a handful of Marcona almonds.

Located in central London – a two minute walk from Goodge St tube station and a five minute walk from Oxford Circus – we are perfectly placed for a business lunch, a pre-theatre meal or a night out with friends.

Regular visitor. Took a long while to get served despite sitting near the bar. Had to keep saying - excuse me! Then the water and beer arrived after ordering but it was another 10 mins before my drink arrived! I had to chase too. Later a 2nd glass of my drink arrived and I hadn’t even ordered one. Was hoping it was on the house due to the wait - it wasn’t! Staff disappointing.

We all really enjoyed our meal at Salt Yard. We had the tasting menu and it was incredible. Every dish was delicious, you would not be disappointed. Mr favourites were the prawns with bread to dip in the sauce, arancini and cheesecake - yum! Service was great and would highly recommend! Hope to be back soon!

Lovely staff, fantastic flavours but very small portions for sharing which represented very poor value for money. Wine list also overpriced.

Terrific small plates and well made cocktails. We shared a generous plate of iberico ham with our drinks. After that, we feasted on the fantastic squash blossoms, surprisingly delicious grilled lettuce, grilled octopus, cheesy arancini, and lamb breast. Everything was delicious ,and it was nice to taste so many things without being overwhelmed by too much food. Food was served at a nice pace, not too fast. Good selection of desserts. Highly recommend when you want casual but delicious.
