    We love coming back to Salt each time we are in the Ossington area. This place never disappoints us. Communal tapas style and wines from Spain & Portugal. The duck prosciutto and 3 cheese charcuterie, truffle gnocchi and wagyu sliders are my favourites although every dish has a unique flavour. The Esporao Réserva wine complement each and every dish we ordered.
