After reading and hearing about this place, we finally went! We arrived in Vancouver on Sunday and wandered into Gas Town. There was a small but marvelous Farmer’s Market happening at the entrance of Blood Alley where The Salt Tasting Room is located. My husband and I wandered down the alley and were surprised to see several strung-out addicts sitting on stairs and hanging by the dumpsters but we slipped by the odd scene and ducked into the Salt Tasting Room where you feel immediately comfortable. We sat at the long community table and ordered the fennel salad with comte cheese (delish!) and ordered the tasting menu of cheeses and condiments (we skipped the meats but they sounded fabulous). It was a little pricey for the amount of food you get but, on the other hand, we felt completely satisfied and weren’t left hungry. It was simple and yummy.
