Fine dining gets a South American makeover thanks to Martin Gimenez Castro, a native Argentinean who has emerged as one of the most influential chefs in latter day Poland.

Desserts, meanwhile, are among the most inventive in town. Take this, for instance: described on the menu as ‘childhood / irresponsible / fantasy / fun’, this surprise course turns out to be Yerba Mate and dulce de leche ice cream entwined in wisps of cotton candy. Amazing.

Well-balanced, creative, and strategically portioned, Salto is a magnificent demonstration of passion and personality. And most importantly, it’s bloody brilliant.
