Concept

Salt, Sydney was Luke’s first restaurant which opened in 1999. In ancient Greece, salt was a rare, expensive commodity and it was given to people as a sign of hospitality and friendship.

These traits are the core ingredients for Luke’s service philosophy and so the success of Salt began. The name was used again for Salt, Tokyo in 2007. Salt grill is an extension on that and first appeared on P&O’s Pacific Jewel in 2009.

Modern Australia Concept

Mod Oz is a relatively recent term that denotes the culinary style of a country searching for its own food identity. Brought about by a large multicultural society, chefs embraced different cuisines which in turn inspired a fusion of new ingredients and traditional techniques with the best produce available. Food is fresh, high quality and the cuisine emphasises simple preparation of unique ingredients. The variety of foods in Australia reflects the land and climate.

The Salt grill menu contains fresh Australian produce combined with the best of local ingredients. You can dine on earthy barramundi fish, salty Coffin Bay oysters, sweet Spencer Gulf prawns, delicate Petuna Ocean Trout from Tasmania. All meat is sourced from farming partners in Australia. Here and there you will find a hint of Aboriginal ‘bush tucker’, with the flavour of wattleseed, or fresh herbs. Australian hospitality is intrinsic to the food, and your welcome at Salt grill will be as warm as if you were coming to a barbecue in our backyard.

They are Takumi Tokyo which serves three popular Japanese cuisine concepts under one roof – Teppanyaki, Robatayaki and Sushi; Ginza Bairin, a casual tonkatsu-specialty restaurant; and Salt grill Singapore, which serves up contemporary Australian cuisine.

Chefs

Luke Mangan is one of Australia’s leading chefs and restaurateurs and is highly regarded internationally as a shining example of Australia’s culinary culture.

His career started in Melbourne under Herman Schneider, of “Two Faces” fame. After completing his training, Luke persuaded Michel Roux of the 3 Michelin starred “Waterside Inn” in London to give him a chance. He believes that working under these great chefs in the early years were the two most important steps he took to learn his craft.

Luke currently owns and operates glass brasserie, Hilton Sydney; Salt grill, Hilton Surfers Paradise; Salt grill and Salt tapas & bar, Singapore; Salt and the adjoining World Wine Bar, Tokyo; and Salt grill onboard three P&O cruise liners. He is also the consulting chef for Virgin Australia.

Shannon Binnie has worked with Luke Mangan for over 15 years. At 17, he first joined Bistro CBD, Sydney where Luke was then its Executive Chef. In 2000, Shannon moved into a Chef De Partie position at Luke’s own Sydney restaurant, Salt, and in 2006 became the Sous Chef at glass brasserie, located at the Sydney Hilton. He was the Executive Chef of award winning Salt Tokyo for four years before his current position as Executive Chef at Salt grill, Singapore.

Working with Luke enabled Shannon to also cook for the likes of Danish Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary at their 2004 wedding banquet and Richard Branson on his private island in the British Virgin Islands. Shannon shares Luke’s philosophy of using the freshest seasonal produce from the region and letting their natural flavours speak for themselves. He is looking forward to inventing new culinary creations at Salt grill with the selection of South East Asian produce and ingredients available in Singapore.
