Salt of the Earth Bistro earns high praise from customers and critics alike for their use of locally and regionally sourced ingredients that are translated into global flavors. By using the freshest ingredients and carefully combining components without getting overly fussy or complex, they’ve designed a delicious menu that draws raves from diners.
On a recent visit, tempting first course options included Lebanese Red Lentil Soup, Ethiopian Spicy Shrimp, and Filipino Crispy Pork Belly.
We had a hard time choosing from the tantalizing entree options such as a Pan-Seared Magret Duck Breast, Grilled Heritage Pork Chop, Venison Brunswick Stew and Grilled Salmon.
Leave room for dessert. That’s all we’re saying.
In addition to great food, Salt of the Earth is also known for outstanding service. The last several years have been challenging for the restaurant industry, yet Salt of the Earth has maintained a very high standard of service and customers have noticed.
Given the popularity of this eatery, reservations are highly recommended. Check out their website for current hours and other dining essentials.
After a long day in the high peaks, it’s nice to come down to the Salt of the Earth for a meal that satisfies the soul and the stomach.
