Salt Cafe Urangan

Helpful and friendly staff. Ample off-street parking is available. Ample seating space available. Located right on the Esplanade and provides unobstructed ocean views as its one level up from road. We had breakfast here, and it was delicious with large portions. Milkshake and freshly squeezed juices were amazing, too. Highly recommend them.

**Downgraded to 3 stars after my initial review below. My kids made a second visit today to try the breakfast menu. To summarise: • The smoothie bowl was basically soup and had to be abandoned halfway through. Video attached. • An additional charge was incurred to pay for the bacon on the Eggs Benedict. This is a staple component of the meal and should not be charged as an extra. Poached eggs + spinach, on Turkish, does not constitute Eggs Benedict. • A second smoothie bowl was ordered by another person but forgotten by the kitchen. After making enquiries about the missing meal, the kitchen realised their mistake. Based on the quality of the other smoothie bowl, a refund was requested. Sadly, based on the inconsistent service and food quality, it is unlikely we will return. **Original review: Visited Salt for the first time today. We were lucky to get the outdoor seating area, which allowed for a direct view of the beach and sea, as well as providing a cooling breeze. Service was prompt and friendly, and we were quickly seated upon arrival. Table water was immediately delivered, and orders were taken soon afterwards. Our group of 6 selected a range of meals, as well as thickshakes, smoothies, coffee, and iced coffee. The meals consisted of barramundi, several choices of burger, calamari bao buns, Croque Madame, and a Power Bowl. The drinks and meals were thoroughly enjoyed by nearly all, my wife's Power Bowl being the exception. Rather than arriving as a suggested bowl (akin to a poke/Buddha bowl), it was served on a dinner plate. A deconstructed offering of seemingly random items, with a small bowl of sauce as the centrepiece. Instead of enjoying an amalgam of flavours and sensations, she instead ate most of it separately; a peanut here, some salad there, etc. She was quite disappointed and didn't enjoy the experience. Ironically, she only ordered the Power Bowl because her first selection, the Pumpkin Risotto, was surprisingly out-of-stock (Monday, 11:45am start of lunch run). Additionally, she asked if sweet potato fries and aioli were possible, and was told they were. Then, when the meals were served, she instead received the menu-standard sweet potato wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Still enjoyed, but not what she'd expected or requested. That being said, everything else was great. The rest of our party loved their meals, and my son rated his Crispy Chicken (Chipotle) burger as one of the best he's ever had. Similarly, the basil lime aioli (with my barramundi) was superb and perfectly complemented both the fish and kipfler potatoes. Overall, the venue, location, service, meals and drinks were appreciated, enjoyed, and decent value for money. Had it not been for my wife's less-than-satisfactory experience, this would have been a 5-star review.
