Redsalt Restaurant, Crowne Plaza Hotel
Editorial
From the moment you make your grand entrance down the marble staircase, you know that you are in for a meal to remember. The ambience and aesthetic at Redsalt are those that can only be offered by establishments at the top of their field - hotels whose reputation for style and elegance spreads far afield. Here at Redsalt, patrons enjoy subtle mood-setting music, trained staff and décor that flawlessly matches. These aspects of a meal are essential to your dining experience, however the achievements of Redsalt most definitely do not stop at the superficial.
In keeping with the feel of the hotel, the menu at Redsalt is typified by trusted and refined choices, involving products sourced from the best local suppliers and prepared by knowledgeable chefs. When I had the pleasure of dining here, we shared the mezze platter to commence our meal, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Comprising of a combination of polenta-crusted calamari, beetroot-cured salmon, char-grilled eggplant, dips and the pièce-de-la-resistance, local brandy-smoked lamb cutlets, this is a platter that is perfectly balanced and suited for sharing.
The a la carte menu is consistently interesting, with a large range of prime meat cuts, as well as pasta, seafood and vegetarian options. The star attraction of this restaurant is perhaps the seafood buffet, which attracts a patronage from far and wide on Friday and Saturday nights. For those who enjoy all that the sea has to offer, Redsalt’s selection of hot and cold dishes are sure to entice. Offering an array of the freshest produce available in Canberra, it is the quality, planning, and ability to cater to individual tastes that ensure Redsalt’s reputation precedes it.
