My daughter and I have just enjoyed a lovely meal at your restaurant! We would like to thank you for having extremely pleasant and helpful staff, providing wonderful tapas and wine and for making our time in Greytown memorable! I will be returning to N.Ireland shortly, whilst my daughter will be remaining in NZ and be fortunate enough to visit your restaurant again! Totally recommend it!!
We love this place! The food is off-the-hook great, the service is excellent, and the owners are endlessly charming. Recommend highly. <3
What a find!! This happened to be our second choice for eating...thank goodness. We had arancini balls, Halloumi, pork belly, green beans, ceispy lamb and rocket salad. Delicious each and every one. Absolute recommend. Make sure you book. We are about to try dessert. The owners are friendly and so personable. Lovely to meet and eat here.
I love driving out to Greytown for Sunday brunch at Salute! The French toast is dynamite! I also love the doughnuts filled with cream and blackberry jam. I've been there many times for dinner too so I recommend the citrus cured salmon, halloumi, the kumara falafel, and Moroccan soup! I've had a different dessert each time and they are all excellent! The wine selection is top notch and the good service is appreciated.
Stayed in Greytown for one night and went to Saluté for dinner. The service was fantastic. They only had a table outside and it was p*ssing it down but the heaters were brilliant and we were very comfortable.
We shared the halloumi to start, had a pizza each and then the autumn tiramisu. Delicious from start to finish.
Had a great meal of tapas: duck risotto, arranchini, salmon, slaw. Lovely flavours. Desserts were: chocolate tart, pears and donuts. Only negative was the slow service.
Came through on our way back from Napier and after a weekend of overindulgence my appetite was starting to recover. Started with an iced chocolate then ordered Arancini and a blue cheese, bacon and pear pizza. The goodies arrived very smartly and could not be faulted, very tasty! Keen to return as there is a comprehensive menu to work through, not to mention we didn't get dessert and no doubt there will be some delicious offerings. Service was quick and friendly, The restaurant is also in the Entertainment book which is a bonus.
Lovely meal and good service. Food came out quickly and was very tasty. Both people I dined with were very happy with their meals also. Highly recommended
Had a superb meal at Salute last evening. We started with the onion olive and anchovy flatbread, which was generous and tasty, then had the pork belly main dish. It was very tasty and original- beautifully presented with lovely fresh and interesting flavours. The desserts were amazing - we had the lemon fritters and the mousse. Would absolutely recommend eating here! Service friendly. And helpful.

Toast Martinborough weekend and we decided to make a tour through the townships of Waiarapa. Greytown was the first stop and it was buzzing. We walked from one end of the Main Street to the other, peering at the menus on the windows to figure out what tickled our fancy. We eventually settled upon Salute - mainly because it offered things different from the normal run of the mill eggs benedict and sausages.
The wait staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and seeing as there were a few seats free as it was only early noon, we were allowed to pick a table - a comfy window seat which backed out onto an open window. I really liked the indoor-outdoor flow that Salute had and there was a certain charm to having a few sparrows ducking in and out. I was pleased to note that there were no bird droppings in sight.
Coffees came first. I was really happy with my long macchiato but unfortunately, my partner's long black was a little burnt.
For food, we settled on four tapas as recommended by our waiter, which turned out to be a really good amount of food:
- aracini: crispy risotto balls filled with braised pork, mozzarella and garlic aioli: this is lovely. I really enjoyed the creaminess of the aioli and pork inside was really tender. The coating provided a good texture that contrasted with the soft melted cheese
- crispy fried lamb, warm chickpea purée, almonds, currants and pickled quince with chargrilled flatbread: the lamb wasn't really crispy, but the flavours of the lamb combined with all the elements on the dish made it outstanding. The flatbread was delicious
- Moroccan spiced crispy pork belly with pomegranate, chilli and lime drizzle: pork belly is not exactly the healthiest thing but no one cares when it's been cooked this way because it was fantastic. Crisp and well flavoured, the sauce provided some sweetness and tartness to the dish. This was definitely my favourite
- mussels with vinegar, crisps, currants and pickled onion: this was quite a refreshing dish to the other rather heavier tasting dishes that we got. It wasn't outstanding but then again, this is in comparison to some other fattier dishes and oil always wins out
I really enjoyed my lunch here. Service was fantastic and the dishes were original and well cooked. We noticed on the way out the several awards from the Cuisine awards - and that came at no surprise to us. This is a dining gem in the Waiarapa.
Been here a few times, have always loved the experience. The food is always memorable and the service is great! Love coming here for a lovely date night sharing their amazing tapas. Defiantly suggest the Arancini, crispy fried chicken and the best dessert i've had in a very long time, the creme brûlée! 😍 The wine is always great and never leave without having a classic Japanese Slipper Cocktail. 👌🏻
I've dined here several years ago and re-visited the past weekend on our way home after a weekend away. The service is still professional and courteous. The food is the best in Greytown. Our entrees were good - I recommend the duck risotto. The fresh fish was outstanding. Loved the celeriac puree with Mediterranean flavours. The beef filet was fine. The wine list is decent. Overall a solid dining experience.
SO MANY gluten-free options, and also lots of dairy free and vegetarian options. This place is INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately my photos don't do it justice. The pork belly tapas (generous serving, by the way) was perfectly crispy and tender with such a divine sauce. The side of vegetables was a great assortment of in-season produce that was perfectly cooked. For dessert I had the ultimate brownie sundae that came with the most amazing textured and flavoured treats (including coffee cacao nib ice-cream, chocolate marshmallow, a raspberry crispy thing, coated hazelnuts, etc). The petits I tasted were also 10/10 including the 'sweet Kenny' lemon pudding, ras-el-hanout fudge, s'more, blackberry pastille (might have some spelling issues in this sentence, haha). I LOVE this place. And the service was friendly, helpful and fast. Even enjoyed the privilege of meeting the genius lovely owners.
We came in at late notice and were warmly welcomed in by the maitre d. After getting seated we discussed cocktails and took our hosts advice and the cocktails were great!
We then moved in to the menu and while choosing our favourites of pork belly and arancini we again asked for advice and chose the polenta as Rapa and added a pizza too.
The food was fantastic, it came out quickly and it was beautiful. We're definitely coming here again soon, only next time we'll remember how efficient the chef was and take a little more time to enjoy the atmosphere!
Brilliant! unique & amazing menu and fantastic wines. Amazing tapas & desserts. Heaps of gluten dairy free options. A must visit.
Absolutely loved the service and the food was AMAZING! Great portions and value for money, better yet the management and staff were sooooo engaging and hospitable!
Definitely recommend and cant wait to come back!
Great little place! Really nice staff, checked on us often. Food was good.
Went on Valentines night, very good service food excellent. A bit short of room for all the delicious food on the high tables. Will book earlier in advance next time. We will also order the lemon fritters that had been recommended to the very friendly couple on the next table and looked amazing. We'll remember to leave room for a pudding on our next visit. We will become regulars now we live near by.
This place has always been good, but just keeps getting better every visit. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious tapas and pizzas, great for sharing. Excellent wine. It has a modern European vibe without feeling pretentious. Also make sure you save room for dessert. The bread pudding with pumpkin icecream was incredible.
A lovely dinner at Salute last night. Lucy was our waitress and was great! We questioned her on many things (not all related to the menu or her job😊), and she was fun and friendly. Also, although a small wine list, it is very nice and well balanced. Very nice to meet the owner and hear his story of their start with Salute, the menu and wines etc. Will definitely be back.
We had the most enjoyable dinner at Salute last week.
We asked our waiter for a few recommendations for the tapas and they turned out to be great choices. We chose three dishes to share - beef cheek, crispy lamb and cauliflower. A wonderful combination of flavours and textures and the servings were more than adequate. In fact, just perfect.
Good selection of drinks. Beautiful desserts. The lemon fritters were amazing! Our waiter was friendly and professional. The overall service was excellent.
A highlight of our short stay in Greytown!
Day tripping to Greytown we walked in off the street to a very gracious welcome. I know Salute is very busy so it was a bonus to be seated so quickly. The menu was exciting, the baked goat cheese was out the gate fantastic. Great service. Delicious all round.
