Owner Seán Heather told Dished that the lease on the Gastown space is nearly up and it will be moving further east, where they can get a better deal for restaurant space. Salt Tasting Room will follow its sibling restaurant, The Irish Heather, in its neighbourhood relocation.
“The Heather family is very excited for the next chapter in Salt’s life,” Heather told Dished.
“[We] love having Irish Heather and Salt in one hood, and this time it is Chinatown instead of Gastown.”
In April, The Irish Heather closed down its Gastown location after 24 years, citing high rents.
Speaking to Daily Hive Urbanized after the announcement, Heather said his new space which is further to the east within Strathcona would be approximately $10,000 less per month than the location at 210 Carrall Street.
