Rasam is my favourite place to eat with friends, to celebrate, to get together with family. Rasam's food is always the very best - and friendliness and kindness make it a very special place. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming - lighting very elegant - and conversation wonderfully audible! Highly recommended

Bresson is a fab experience… food is superb and the overall dining experience epic. That said its not your average restaurant so diners need to understand there are a la carte options available. However Bresson does offer a 5/6 course menu for €85. We would return ! Shout out to Philipe who is extremely welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable.

Bistro

Monkstown

About the restaurant

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.
