Salt House Overview

Even if you’re not on holiday who doesn’t want to feel like they are? Being at Salt House in Marina Point feels like a holiday, everyday from 7am! You won’t know where to look; views of the city, mountains & ocean compete for your attention, plus the people watching & live bands also. Suave & sexy this venue is set to impress; from private dining, to locally grown plantation hardwood used to cook some dishes. The menu may have North Queensland pineapple semi freddo, coconut daquoise, lime syrup.

29th May 2009 saw the much anticipated opening of Salt House in Cairns. Situated at Marina Point, Salt House is a unique dining, bar and entertainment venue offering a panorama of the ocean, marina and city on the waterfront.

Salt House offers a space that is glamorous, funky, chilled-out yet lively and welcoming all at once. There are several facets to this standard-setting venue: a large Restaurant area with a custom wood-fired grill and open kitchen, an outdoor cocktail bar surrounded by flowing ponds and fire features and a glowing bar in the front of the complex which showcases local and visiting bands six nights a week.

Breezy seascapes and tranquil ponds during the day give way to a buzzing atmosphere and a discerning crowd as the sun goes down and the night heats up. The story of Salt House has just begun.....

Salt House is at your service seven days a week from 7am until late. Located on the Cairns Marina, the views across Cairns Inlet out to the Coral Sea are punctuated only by passing yachts and sea birds, allowing you to enjoy your meal with a stunning panorama at any time of day.

Breakfast presents the essential assortments for a great start to your morning - tropical fruit for the health conscious or a traditional hot breakfast. The bar opens at 7am for freshly squeezed juices and espresso coffee, then at 9am for a spicy Bloody Mary or champagne.

After breakfast relax on the day beds of our Deck Bar and soak in the views before the Lunch and Tapas Bar Menus begin at midday. Small tapas style plates are served in both bars from midday to 10pm. For those requiring a more substantial meal, our a la Carte menus for both Lunch and Dinner provide an array of dishes to suit all tastes. Our menus are constantly evolving, so keep checking our website for updates and information.

Salt House boasts an open kitchen providing theatre to those dining. A two metre wood-fire grill is the centre piece on the main floor of our restaurant. Locally grown, plantation hardwood adds a unique smoky flavour to juicy steaks, whole fish and crustacea cooked by our talented chefs.

If you are seeking a private area for special occasions, Salt House offers two private dining areas. Our Private Dining Room in the working wine cellar offers independent climate control, soundproofing and can seat up to 14 guests comfortably. Views north over the ocean are framed by our extensive wine selection as you and your guests are cocooned in your own exclusive space

For a more casual outdoor setting, our Dining Island seats up to 8 guests and is situated next to the cocktail bar, surrounded by bluestone water features that come to life from the warm glow of the gas fires as they are lit at sunset.

Salt House Menu Sample

Cold Seafood Platter: King prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, natural oysters, green ant cured salmon, ocean trout and scallop cannelloni, tropical smoked mussels, champagne poached calamari, smoked tomato gribiche.
