The Salt Road Journey
Beyond Houghton
Our journey takes us through different countries and unfolds following the rhythm of fire, salt, and time.
Every Salt Road Restaurant is a living reflection of its environment, rooted deeply in local tradition and terroir, yet elevated by a shared culinary vision that ignores borders.
Though each space is distinct, they are united by a reverence for heritage, a passion for storytelling through food, and a relentless pursuit of flavour.
While each space has its own personality, they are all characterised by respect for local history, a passion to tell food stories, and an ongoing search for flavor.
When you cross the threshold of one of our venues, you are shifting from your outlook to a different perspective of The Salt Road journey, there you are holding onto the place, driven to the objective, and made in such a way that it lingers on the palate and in memory.
