Pillar of Salt
Looking for something completely decadent? Then go no
further than Pillar of Salt’s Mango, raspberry and walnut bread with
passionfruit curd. Anyway, I’ll tell you about that later... Located in Richmond, on the corner of Church Street and Willis
Street, Pillar of Salt is buried amongst the many showrooms along Church Street.
Look for the black and white stripes and the crowd of eager diners waiting for
a table.
We sat on the communal table today and didn’t have to
wait. There’s also a courtyard out the back and a couple of tables out the
front. Usually communal tables are great for a sneaky peak into the lives of
others but today we sat next to the dullest guys ever. And the language! Didn’t
know you could use the ‘F’ word to describe so many things... Anyway, the dishes
on the weekend menu include the Vegie Burger- three bean and cashew burger with
yoghurt, haloumi, kasoundi, wilted kale on ciabatta ($16.00) and Warmed organic
rice pudding with stone fruits and blood plum coulis ($13.50). I chose the ‘Mango,
raspberry and walnut bread with passionfruit curd’ ($14.00). Every mouthful
just screamed decadence. Sweet, tangy, and scrummy, this was just a brilliant
dish. It was a lovely change from the usual banana bread served at cafes. It
could have perhaps had a little bit of cream to cut back the sweetness.
My dining companion chose the ‘Pillars red chilli scrambled eggs, julienne bacon, spring onion, parsley, parmesan, toast’ ($16.50)’. This was another delicious dish and had just the right amount of heat. As with this type of bread, it was a little bit difficult to cut through the crust though. I’m so over poached eggs now and this dish has made me revert back to good old scrambled eggs.
Five Senses coffee is served at Pillar of Salt and our lattes ($3.80) had some pretty fancy coffee art. They also tasted spectacular which is even more important.
The staff efficiently served us even though the place was packed. Pillar of Salt has definitely become one of my favourite cafés in Richmond.
