Concierge "Located in a scuzzy back alley in Gastown, Salt Tasting Room is an unlikely destination on Vancouver's culinary map. But this wine bar is a popular spot with local foodies, particularly chefs and kitchen crews."
Frommer's "Salt is unique and a wonderful place to get a good, fairly inexpensive meal." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This unusual eatery off historic Blood Alley is trendy even for Gastown, with a bare-bones constellation of menu items changed daily and displayed on a giant chalkboard." Full review
BlackBook "Keeping it elegantly simple, this kitchen-free concept does combinations of artisanal cheeses, superb cured meats and luscious condiments like mustards, chutneys and rosemary-marinated olives."

Choose three meats or three cheeses and three condiments, plus three wines from the extensive wine list or leave the pairings to Saltâs capable wine-aware staff.
