About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    always love the breakfast at Avoca Salt Monkstown. We went early and had a very leisurely breakfast. My selection was not on the menu but they did it anyway.Would always recommend Avoca Monkstown.

    I have always really enjoyed this delightful place. A great spot for food. All through the day. The ambience is relaxed, welcoming with really good service. On this occasion I enjoyed a sublimely flavourful Soup with good bread on the side. Sublime. My friend chose the very same. Both of us felt so satisfied; we had a good taste experience. Thank you all ... until the next time

    Extremely helpful waitress. I was gluten free dairy free and vegetarian. Nothing on the menu fitted that request. They went out of their way to create a wonderful lunch

    Haven’t been for over ten years Cafe v much trading on past glories Very slow and inattentive staff, we had to flag them down constantly. The restaurant looked a complete state with 50 percent of tables empty with tables not cleared and food piled up We wanted crab salad but could not have it until 1230 (it was 1155) - the kitchen goes into limbo between 12-1230 and can’t do anything it seems. Heard another table complaining about the same Chilli eggs was nothing of sort basically cold Poached eggs on mushy avocado toast

    I was disappointed with the seared tuna, had to ask the waiter to cook it more as it looked raw inside. Otherwise everything was fine.
