Salted Vue

It was a typical tuesday. Kitchenslut was aimlessly sauntering along Shields St contemplating his liquidity/sweat ratio when the mobile went off. It was, yet again, a glamorous woman in distress! She had been shamelessly stood up on a business luncheon and required urgent company at Salted Vue.

However, before I had a chance to expand on the experience it turns out that Salted Vue apparently closed at new year. The line apparently is that it may reopen at another venue at some time however given the flux and uncertainty within the local dining scene at the moment, who knows?

It will be missed by many admirers and had seemed to be doing good local business with its set price menu deals. The food was also interesting and good quality, at least on the day I was there.
Oh well, another one bites the dust?

Update: There has also been some conjecture on the future of Chocolat downstairs from Salted Vue in the Mantra, and apparently under the same ownership. We have previously reviewed this very positively and will watch with interest.
