What people say
Food lover and always looking for hidden gems in the north shore area. Attracted by Salmon & Bear’s website and decided to give it a try. Same menu for lunch and dinner. 3 of us opted for à la carte - sharing one starter, 2 mains, 1 pasta, 3 sides and 2 desserts. Calamari is crispy and tender. King Salmon is good, and the Scotch filet is juicy. The prawn vodka rigatoni is full of flavour. The fastest dish we finished is the chats potato with romesco sauce:) Service is great - thank you, Molly. A little over $200 for a quality and enjoyable lunch is good value for money and deserved a 5 stars rating. Free 2 hours parking at Coles. AII in all a very satisfied lunch. We will be back with family and friends and definitely will try the banquet set dishes. If S&B can improve the food plating and decor, it might even get a one hat award.
10/10, what an incredible experience. The young man who looked after our table made my partner’s birthday feel even more special. Service was fantastic and they treated us with a lovely lemon meringue. The food was incredible, we will definitely be back.
Obsessed is an absolute understatement. We have been twice now and everything has been impeccable from arrival to departure. We all felt so welcomed and valued as guests to Salmon and Bear! The banquet/set menu is absolute value for money! We left completely full and satisfied. Cannot fault anything about this place! Must must must have the carrots! And if you want to try something new, give the cauliflower steak a try! Its fantastic and so flavourful! The drinks are strong and food is phenomenonal!
Came here for Father's Day and it did not disappoint. Well cooked food, meat had that lovely oven char taste. Would have liked a bit more rare (medium rare was initial request) but meat was still delicious and tender. Would love to try their other items. Wish the chowder was still there! Kids were entertained with their activity sheets, and their meals were decent sized. They have salmon on the kids menu, that's rare.
We had the banquet for four with friends, and everything was absolutely delicious. The salmon curtado was outstanding, my tuna steak was perfect, and my wife’s eye fillet was cooked beautifully. We chose five sides, all fresh and full of flavor.
