Enjoy the breathtaking waterfront views, sparkling starry night skies, and refreshing breezes of our outdoor balcony, or opt for indoor air-conditioned seating to beat the heat (which can be a must in North Queensland!).

Our restaurant's name, A Touch of Salt, is a play on our family name, Brine. In 2005, we started as a family business, and our family-style approach of offering genuine hospitality and meals designed for conversation has always been the heart of A Touch of Salt. Over the years, we have perfected our restaurant to become one of the best casual fine-dining restaurants in the North.

We take pride in being appreciated by the locals of Townsville as well as travellers from all over Australia.

    We were treated so well we felt as though we were the only people in the restaurant, with special attention to the person celebrating a birthday. The food was delicious, recommendations for wine were spot on and we could hear each other talking. We all agreed we'd be back again soon.

    We've eaten at A Touch of Salt a few times now. Only for 'very special occasions', such as birthdays and engagement parties. Food and service are always high quality. As expected with fine dining, the cost for food and drinks is a little on the higher side, but that's one of the things that make it a lovely restaurant for special occasions or intimate gatherings.

    We were very happy with our dining experience. The service was prompt and friendly. We shared a number of the starter and entre dishes with a few sides and finished with desserts. All the dishes were excellent. A Touch of Salt is always our first choice to celebrate special occasions.

    We had a lovely night celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we were greeted nicely at the door, the young lady looked after us all night so well. Our water and wine were constantly filled and the meals came out at perfect intervals. The food was just delicious, highly recommend a dining experience at Touch of Salt.
