Salt Grill & Sky Bar


Had a lovely lunch with my friend and her daughter one afternoon.  We decided to check out Salt Grill & Sky Bar before deciding should we go for dinner there next time.

Located on the 55th floor of Ion, the view from the restaurant is excellent.  The restaurant is spacious though I personally feel the interior deco should be just a tad up a notch.  Anyway, it is still a good venue for a meal.

I ordered the Carpaccio of blue fin tuna, wasabi avocado, apple and radish salad.  The blue fin tuna was fresh.  The green apple and radish added the extra crunch and cleanse the palette while the wasabi avocado gave it an interesting dimension to the flavours.  I enjoyed it very much.



My friend ordered the ‘glass’ Sydney crab omelette with miso mustard broth.  It was very good too and the crabmeat was tasty and fresh.  Again, the miso mustard broth gave that interesting flavour also adding adequate moisture to the dish.


Both of us had the Crispy skin salmon, char siu mushrooms, bok choy, sesame seed.  My portion was much smaller than the other but since I was not too hungry, it was fine.  Though I think it would not have been sufficient for a guy.  The salmon was done well and the mushrooms were flavourful.  Though I would prefer to have the bok choy served without the stem but that is just me :)

My friend's daughter had the cheese burger from the kids menu.  I did not taste it but I am sure no restaurant should go wrong with a cheese burger.


I took a photo of the restaurant where there's no one being seated.


My friend picked the dessert of chocolate cake with hot dark chocolate oozing next to the cold ice cream.  It was rather fabulous.

I can't remember the name of this dessert but it was good too.


I will visit this restaurant again.  The food was good and offering a great view of Singapore.  I think it's also ideal to bring your visitors.  The staff was also polite and helpful.
