Salam by Mariana Chedid on Crockford Street in Port Melbourne is a warm and soulful haven where Middle Eastern tradition meets modern coastal charm. Stepping inside feels like entering a sanctuary - soft lighting glows against textured walls, aromas of spices and slow-cooked delicacies fill the air and every detail tells a story of heritage and heart. The space radiates intimacy, with a sense of calm and generosity woven into its atmosphere, inviting guests to linger and connect. Dive right in with shakshuka – eggs baked with tomatoes, capsicum, feta and coriander, on fresh Lebanese flatbread – or a crumpet with smashed avocado, labneh, crispy bacon, maple syrup and za’atar. Sweet tooths opt for Mariana’s housemade knefeh, topped with semolina crust and rosewater syrup.
