One of the Gold Coast’s newest and most popular dining establishments, Salt grill
by Luke Mangan, has achieved a significant milestone only four months into
trading having been officially acknowledged with a Chef Hat in the 2012 Australian
Good Food Guide Awards this month.
Leading Australian celebrity chef and restaurateur, Luke Mangan, opened his first
Queensland Salt grill in September 2011. Located on level 1 of the new Hilton
Surfers Paradise, the restaurant is a fashionable, urban venue where the team focus
on the delivery of contemporary Australian food using the finest and freshest
ingredients, sourced locally.
According to a representative from the Australian Good Food Guide, Salt grill is a
very welcome addition to the Gold Coast dining scene.
“It is very rare for a restaurant that has only been trading for a few short months to
achieve success in these awards. It really goes to show the calibre of restaurant
that Salt grill is,” says the representative.
The restaurant itself has a large open plan kitchen allowing guests to interact with
the Chefs and see their meals being prepared right in front of their eyes, a
spectacular wine room and three separate dining zones that each has their own
unique feel and distinguishing features.
“Choosing the Gold Coast to open my new restaurant made perfect sense to me as
Hilton Surfers Paradise is an ideal location, and it has been very exciting to show the
Gold Coast my own rendition of contemporary Australian food,” says Mangan.
“Salt grill is an ambient space where locals, foodies and visitors can feel relaxed
and comfortable, yet indulgent at the same time,” he says.
“There are already some really great restaurants on the Gold Coast, and it has been
terrific to be able to be able to give locals another option serving simple and
uncomplicated food, that is full of flavour. I would like to personally thank all of the
Gold Coast locals who have been in to Salt grill for their support”
With dishes that reflect Luke’s classical French training and Asian influences,
restaurant patrons have come to know a unique combination of delicious
unpretentious fine dining cuisine, affordable prices and an atmosphere that is chic,
playful and creative.
For the ultimate Salt grill experience, the restaurant is offering a special Valentine’s
Day dinner on Tuesday 14 February. Guests will enjoy a 3-course Luke Mangan set
menu with a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne on arrival for $125 per person.
