MELBOURNE | Pillar of Salt Richmond has been a favourite spot for those in the mood for quality breakfast and lunch options for a while, with a change of ownership in and updated focus in 2014 further cementing its position as one of Melbourne’s go-to spots. The reason for Pillar of Salt’s popularity is simple. Innovative, produce focused food in a casual space with great service. The small, low roofed indoor space with its exposed brick is homely and comforting while the outdoor space with a retractable roof and heaters is cozy in winter and airy during the summer.
Food is all about seasonal, local produce served up in innovative ways. No gimmicks, just interesting twists on breakfast and lunch favourites, with the occasional unexpected experimental creation. The American style buttermilk pancakes are as delicious as they look, with fresh strawberries, activated walnuts, strawberry Callebaut chocolate, creme fraiche and wild berry coulis combining perfectly. The saffron and lime smashed avocado meanwhile, is a perfect example of how Pillar of Salt elevates Melbourne favourites. This version consists of perfectly poached eggs, Meredith goats cheese, roasted sweet peppers, micro basil, hemp seed dukkah and balsamic reduction atop organic superseed toast – not your standard smashed avocado.
Those with a love of good coffee are well catered to as well, and there’s a constant line of people waiting for their takeaway coffee. Beans are sourced from Five Senses, with the Pillar of Salt team paying special attention to what they serve. Diners can opt for one of the rotating single origin beans, or try the fantastic house blend, which is a combination of Brazilian Amanzonia, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, and Costa Rican Tarrazu beans. Whether it’s espresso, filter or any other kind of brewing method you want, Pillar of Salt offers it. Other drinks impress too, with an array of freshly squeezed juices and house made smoothies available. In fact the Superfood Smoothie is practically a meal in itself, featuring a combination of banana, blueberries, cacao nibs, Coyo yoghurt, chia seeds, shaved coconut and almond milk – healthy and delicious.
Oh and if you’re lucky, they might just have their 90s hits playlist on rotation.
