Square Meal review of Salt Yard: 
Three years since opening & Salt Yard is as popular as ever – such is its following that the owners are opening a new no-reservations tapas joint called Dehesa (25 Ganton Street W1) this year. Combining the best of Spanish & Italian cuisine, the menu uses prime ingredients in well-balanced dishes. Confit of Gloucester Old Spot pork belly with rosemary-scented cannellini beans is delicious, the meat covered in crisp, lacquered skin. Courgette flowers stuffed with goats’ cheese & drizzled with honey have been on the menu since the start & never fail to delight, while tender slices of new season lamb are pepped up with a punchy salsa verde. The odd dish can disappoint – battered sardines were greasy – but in general this is seriously competent cooking, served in utterly unpretentious surrounds by charming staff, & at very reasonable prices.
Wine List: Salt Yard has a small but noteworthy wine list with all the wines hailing from either Spain or Italy. All the bins are expertly selected, mixing established classics such as Rioja with interesting choices from up & coming (& sometimes practically unknown) producers. There is a good range by the glass, including a particularly fine run of sherry, & masses to choose from under £30. Best Buy White 2006 Rioja, Luis Canas, Spain, £19. Best Buy Red 2004 Toroldego, Foradori, Trentino, Italy, £31.
