Tried out this place for an impromptu lunch during a day trip to Barossa. We tried out the wood-fired pizza, as this appeared to be one of their selling points. It was just okay but I can't say it was particularly flavoursome. I felt like the crust was ready made, off premises. We only had an entree and didn't have any mains. Perhaps these are better for showing off their strengths. Service was friendly. There are plenty of dining options available in Barossa. I wouldn't opt for their pizzas here but perhaps their mains are worth trying out. read more

Saltram - Scallop and bacon pizza with dried chilli flakes added (add $1) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Angaston, SA

I've been to Saltrams for two lunches and a function dinner for work and every single time I've been impressed - and that is no mean feat! The location is a beautiful scenic spot in the Barossa Valley so make a day of it and enjoy the drive down to take in the lush rolling hills and captivating sights. When you arrive, make sure you do a bit of wine tasting at the cellar door before your meal. The bar staff were very helpful and insightful when pouring your wine and give great recommendations to pair up the right wine with your meal. We started off with a trio of dips which tasted of fresh beetroot, sweet potato and hummus. I was in the mood for a nice juicy steak that day so opted for the Angus Steak with a mushroom sauce for my main. It was deliciously melt in your mouth, nicely charred on the outside, tender and moist on the inside and packed full of flavour. If you have room for something sweet, you can admire the dessert selection which is akin to admiring a form of artwork. The delicate intricate design was something you'd expect to see from Heston Blumenthal's kitchen - and the taste is there too! I helped organised a gala event dinner for a work conference a few months back at the function room and it was spectacular. The rustic, old world charm with the stone walls, wooden barrels, against the glow of tealight candles just sets the mood for a beautiful intimate event. The staff were delightful to deal with and was efficient in our communications and catered towards every need. I would highly recommend Saltrams for a wedding or special occasion. read more

Arrive early for lunch and do some wine tasting - my kind of lunch venue! From the moment we entered to the moment we left, we were treated like royalty. Educated, enthusiastic and attentive staff at cellar door set the tone. A delicious selection of wines with the whites being dry to semi dry and offering a newly popular Fiano as part of the offering. The reds contained the usual and fabulous full bodied Shiraz and Cabernet varieties, but also complemented by the lighter, spicier Grenache, Sangiovese and a Shiraz temperanillo. Great to be able to road test a choice to accompany lunch. The food was just awesome, matched equally by the presentation and the service. My 9 year old nephew was accommodated with menu adjustments and special offerings and even a free of charge,specially amended dessert so he could try a 'fancy adult dessert'. Atmosphere is fabulous. Bright and airy upstairs, more rustic and quiet downstairs. Can't fault it. Thank you Saltram for such a treat! read more

The cons: you'll wait. Wait quite a while. Though there seem to be many staff they have multiple duties as it's part of the winery cellar door. The coffee wasn't particularly 'stand out'. The menu is not overly large and possibly limited if you're a vegetarian. The pros: they know how to cook. The steak is melting and rich, the potatoes with rosemary salt are addictive and the wine is matched. The desserts. There is no con. Just get the desserts. Get them. Now! read more

Saltram - Lemon and lime cheesecake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Angaston, SA

We toured thirteen Barossa Valley wineries over two and a half days. None served bad wine. I rating them on the quality of the wines, the breadth of selection, the setting of the winery (outside views and/or inside decor), and service. Note that sometimes service can be a function of how busy they were. This winery rated 7th of the 13. On a five point scale, they were: Wine Quality - 4 Wine Selection - 3 Setting - 5 Service - 4 They have beautiful buildings here and a great setting if your touring. We also had a bite to eat for our lunch in their restaurant. Adequate, but the winery is better than the restaurant. read more

Recently Mrs Plate and I found ourselves in the Barossa Valley for a weekend and having heard so much about Salters Restaurant at Saltram Winery, we decided the right thing to do was to check it out and see what all the fuss is about. It was a Friday night, so imagining it would be busy we rang and made a booking, relieved that we were able to get in. When we arrived, we were shocked to see how empty the place was, just 5 tables being occupied. We just hoped it wasn't a reflection of the food. Our waiter was very friendly and showed us to our table, which was overlooking the pristine gardens of Saltram, including the Pepper tree that the iconic Pepperjack Shiraz is named after. We ordered the Salters crusty bread with olive oil and dukkah for a shared starter and were impressed, the oil was fruity, the bread crunchy and the dukkah nicely spiced. For our mains we couldn't go past trying a wood oven pizza (I'm a sucker for a good wood oven pizza) and we went with the pulled lamb shoulder with rosemary and olives, though we did ask to swap the goats cheese for the vintage cheddar as I just don't get why goats cheese is so popular, it's so pungent I find it hard to taste anything else. We also ordered the 450g grass fed rib eye on the bone, which is served with duck fat potatoes and a mushroom sauce. The meals were out quite quickly and they disappeared even faster. The pizza was perfect, crunchy base, generous toppings and the the flavours were perfectly matched. As for the steak, it left me near on speechless. It was so big and thick, yet still so tender and had a nice rich flavour. The mushroom sauce was fantastic, with chunky local mushrooms and even the side salad was tasty. I've had a lot of steaks in my time and this was definitely one of the better ones. Despite feeling quite full, we decided to tackle dessert, choosing a salted caramel pyramid and a home made Aero with a liquid shiraz centre. Just when we thought the night couldn't possibly get any better from a food sense, it did once we tasted the desserts. They were absolutely outstanding, so much so that we ordered a few more Aeros to takeaway and share with our family. It was a fantastic night, the wait staff were friendly and knowledgable, the prices are reasonable and the food is outstanding. Being a winery, it's not hard to find a decent tipple either. We were quite sad to hear that this was one of the last Friday's night they'll be open for as they just can't seem to attract diners, but they will still be open for lunch on the weekend and it's a trip well worth taking. read more

Just had the worst experience at this restaurant! Walked in no acknowledgement from staff had to stop one of them who kept walking past behind counter drinking out of her water bottle!! Please may we have a table for 2? She rolled her eyes & asked another staff member who said yeah guess so just choose a table!?! We then sat without having someone come over to offer us a drink etc for 10 mins then after waitress walked past us for the 3rd time we asked if we could order? She said sure but will have to get my notebook! When she finally came back we said sorry but have decided to go elsewhere! Seriously guys... you're in the Barossa!!! .. And think only reason you are busy is because only venue that doesn't do set price menu on weekends! read more

Probably my least favourite dining experience in the last 10 years. Awful food and ordinary service. At least the wines were good. Don't try their pizza unless your a fan of leggos tomato paste read more

We attempted to call and book for a late lunch however we got the message bank multiple times. We thought we'd still make the attempt by turning up at 2.30. We were told that the system was down and no more bookings could be taken although we could see that half the restaurant was empty tables. Another couple standing next to us waiting were told that there were tables available. Hugely disappointing! read more
