Nestled in the idyllic bay of Koundouros, where Kea’s natural landscape meets the endless blue of the Aegean Sea, Salt House offers a distinctive culinary experience that authentically reflects the island’s character and the philosophy of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine.
Set against a backdrop of crystal-clear waters and the timeless beauty of the Cyclades, the restaurant combines understated elegance with a deep connection to its surroundings. Its culinary identity is rooted in the concept of coastal fire cooking, where fire serves as the primary medium for showcasing the quality and character of each ingredient. Acidity, sea salt, natural sweetness, smoke, and balanced richness come together to create flavors that are both authentic and expressive.
With a strong emphasis on seasonality and a zero-kilometer approach, Salt House showcases ingredients sourced from Kea, the Cyclades, and the Aegean region. Fresh fish and seafood, local cheeses, legumes, sea fennel, capers, wild herbs, thyme honey, and extra virgin olive oil form the foundation of a cuisine that is simple, creative, and deeply connected to its environment.
The menu embraces a sharing philosophy, celebrating the Greek table as a place of gathering, conversation, and enjoyment. Flavors unfold naturally throughout the day, from relaxed seaside lunches to leisurely dinners enjoyed against the backdrop of the sunset and the gentle breeze of the Aegean.
A thoughtfully curated selection of Greek and international wines, alongside signature cocktails inspired by the aromas, herbs, and maritime character of the Aegean, completes the experience.
Salt House is a destination for those seeking authentic flavors, exceptional ingredients, and a dining experience that captures the essence of Cycladic hospitality through gastronomy.
