Concierge.com's insider take:
No kitchen, no chef, and a location in a scuzzy back alley in Gastown—Salt Tasting Room is an unlikely destination on Vancouver's culinary map. But this wine bar is a popular spot with local foodies, particularly chefs and kitchen crews. The room, with its zinc-topped bar, communal seating, and festive air, is dominated by a chalkboard listing local and international cheeses and cured meats, with a focus on excellent local producers like Granville Island's Oyama Meats. Order a trio of cheese and charcuterie, elevated with specialty sweet and lively condiments (honeycomb, grainy Guinness mustard, cipollini onions, Marcona almonds), and pair it with appealing sherries and (mostly red) wines; tasting flights educate the indecisive. The portions are small, so you might want to add an extra trio.—Kasey Wilson
