Good ingredients
We start with ingredients that are fresh, seasonal and suitable for the dish. The menu follows what's available rather than the other way around.
A neighborhood restaurant and bar built around fresh seafood, simple cooking and the idea that an ordinary evening can still be worth remembering.
Salmon Bar started with a straightforward idea: create a place where people could eat well without having to dress up for the occasion.
We wanted the food to be carefully prepared, the drinks to be interesting and the room to feel comfortable enough that guests could stay for another conversation after dinner.
Over time, that simple idea became our way of working. We keep the menu focused, change dishes when ingredients change, and try not to make things more complicated than they need to be.
Salmon Bar has always been shaped by the people who work here and the guests who come back. These are a few moments that mark the story so far.
The concept begins with a small menu centered around fish, seafood and uncomplicated cooking.
Salmon Bar opens its doors with a compact kitchen, a short menu and a handful of tables.
The kitchen expands and the menu grows to include seasonal specials, cocktails and a wider wine selection.
Regular tasting evenings, guest chefs and small music sessions become part of the calendar.
We continue to change, experiment and learn while keeping the original idea at the center of the place.
They sound simple, but keeping them consistent is what takes the most work.

Fish doesn't need to be hidden under complicated sauces. We use heat, seasoning, acidity and time to let the main ingredient speak for itself.
A dish should be enjoyable whether you're visiting for the first time or ordering the same thing for the twentieth.
Our kitchen team prepares sauces, dressings, marinades and desserts in-house. Fish is prepared throughout the day rather than being held longer than necessary.
We also keep a small rotating list of specials. These dishes give the cooks an opportunity to work with ingredients that aren't part of the permanent menu.
Fish, vegetables, sauces and garnishes are prepared before service and replenished throughout the day.
Several dishes change during the year according to what's available from our suppliers.
We plan portions carefully and use suitable ingredients across several dishes whenever possible.
Restaurants are ultimately about people. Here's a glimpse of the team behind the food and the room.
