Café by day superb restaurant by night
Each day at Rocksalt, a distinctive metamorphosis takes place. As the working day comes to an end, this popular Strowan eatery transforms itself from a casual, laidback café to a night-time eatery full of positive energy and passion for great food.

t’s still laid back. It’s a restaurant full of personality, where team members take delight in ensuring their diners have an enjoyable evening, coupled with exceptionally well cooked food. The attentive table service, the small but perfectly formed wine list and the oldfashioned favourites on the menu are a continuing hit. The popularity of Rocksalt as an evening venue has seen them increase the days they serve dinner. From Wednesday to Sunday, you can enjoy generous portions of wholesome food. And while we have said old-fashioned favourites, we are talking about those perennial enjoyments, cooked exceptionally well and served with fresh vegetables and a dollop of something special to accentuate the excellent flavours on your plate. For breakfast delights enjoy eggs on toast the way you love them, hash cakes with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and bacon, or a huge Rocksalt breakfast extravaganza. Try French toast with bacon, caramelised banana, maple syrup and mascarpone, and Eggs Benedict with a variety of options. Lunch brings soup de jour, seafood

choose the Angus ribeye steak, a generous serve of quality beef with a red wine and thyme jus or the ever-popular mushroom sauce. If salmon is more your thing, it comes accompanied with tantalising vegetables and a citrus hollandaise. The chicken is raved about; the succulent breast is stuffed with cranberry and brie. Lamb shanks, braised with creamed potato is a luscious option, and apple tree pork fillet with a sage and apple farce, basiled purple cabbage and béarnaise sauce is a definite winner. And who can go past a chicken with sundried tomato, basil pesto and feta, wrapped in bacon with a pepper corn and jus. Delish! A kids’ menu, some equally yummy and tempting desserts and the attractive surrounds complement the offerings. Rocksalt is pleased at the continual changes and improvements they continue to make. If you have been in and sampled their exquisite coffee and relaxed daytime menu, you certainly need to go back in the evening and experience for yourself the metamorphosis to an evening venue you will quickly fall in love with. Rocksalt is located at 7 Normans Rd, Elmwood Village, phone 355 5299.
