Salt Bistro & Café is widely considered the premier destination in Cox’s Bazar for authentic Continental and Western cuisine. Located prominently on the ground floor of the renowned Hotel The Cox Today, it offers a sophisticated, quiet, and air-conditioned escape from the chaotic bustle of the Hotel-Motel Zone. It is the go-to spot for tourists who are “riced out” and craving a high-quality steak, a creamy pasta, or a barista-made coffee in a chic setting.
Why Eat Here? (Key Highlights)
-
The Steakhouse Experience: Salt is one of the very few places in the city that knows how to cook a steak properly. Whether you want a T-Bone or Sirloin, they are famous for serving it sizzling hot with the right sides.
-
Break from Local Food: After days of eating spicy curries and bhortas, Salt provides a welcome change with its menu of burgers, salads, and Italian pastas, offering a palate cleanser for international travelers and expats.
-
Premium Ambiance: With its dim lighting, plush seating, and modern decor, it offers a “Dhaka-style” café vibe that is perfect for business meetings, romantic dates, or a quiet solo coffee.
-
Late Night Coffee: It is a popular spot for late-night hangouts, serving excellent espresso-based drinks and desserts when most other upscale cafes are closing.
On The Menu
The menu is distinctively Western with a focus on grill and café comfort food:
-
Sizzling Steaks: Imported or premium local beef steaks (T-Bone, Ribeye) served with mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables—the bestseller.
-
Seafood Grill: Fresh Lobster Thermidor and Grilled King Prawns, prepared with lemon butter sauces rather than heavy spices.
-
Italian Classics: Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo, Spaghetti Bolognese, and authentic thin-crust pizzas.
-
Seafood Chowder: A thick, creamy soup packed with chunks of fish and shrimp, perfect as a starter.
-
Desserts: Their Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream and New York Cheesecake are legendary in town.
