Salon was a disappointment… The Test kitchen restaurant experience was amazing I expected the food to be as delicious, but experienced Bland meals and overdone steak :(

"Good but very small food and wine portions "

7.3 Cuisine 6 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 8

Food was good although be aware that the portions are extremely small. Would be fine for the full journey menu but if you’re doing restaurant week or 5 course you’ll leave hungry. Wine pairing is also minimal so I would order wine by glass or full bottle.

About SALON

Cuisine: Fine Dining

SALON: A new multi-course dining journey by Luke Dale Roberts, the culinary visionary behind the renowned restaurant, The Test Kitchen.

About Salon
SALON menu marks something of a return to the heady days of Luke’s iconic restaurant, The Test Kitchen.

“The ‘Dark Room’ experience was, for me, the high point of The Test Kitchen at the time,” he says. “So I decided to emulate that here at SALON.”

Diners arrive at SALON through a bright golden portal, a striking entrance into a more traditional salon space of Victorian-style floors and classical marble-topped bistro tables.

The concept of the Journey menu showcases each country that Luke has worked in, focusing on a signature dish from that country’s culinary heritage, with the menu being small focused and interactive. Diners are encouraged to come along on a voyage that shows Luke’s evolution and influences as a chef. “It takes my decades of travelling, tasting and cooking in some incredible kitchens around the world, and condenses it all into a nine-course exploration of all the wonderful flavours and dishes I’ve encountered along the way.” Says Luke.
