Salt Steakhouse

You're walking up Northgate towards the cathedral when Salt appears—all polished wood and understated elegance, the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. The menu's refreshingly straightforward: proper cuts cooked properly, none of the faffing about. It's become the place where locals book in when they want to feel genuinely looked after, whether you're celebrating something or just fancy a really good steak and a decent claret. The 4.8 rating speaks for itself, but what matters is that people keep coming back, not for Instagram moments but because the food actually delivers.
