La Sal is a Spanish restaurant and wine bar at 22 Union Place in central Edinburgh. Positioned opposite the Edinburgh Playhouse and within walking distance of Waverley station, it is particularly convenient for a meal before or after a performance.
Tapas forms the heart of the menu, encouraging diners to share a sequence of small dishes rather than follow a rigid starter and main course format. Vegetables, cured meats, seafood and richly seasoned hot plates provide enough contrast to build a meal around several tastes and textures.
Paella offers a more substantial expression of Spanish cooking and can anchor the table alongside a few starters. Dishes such as pulpo a la gallega reflect regional traditions, while desserts give diners a final sweet course after the savoury plates.
Spanish wine is a natural partner to the food, with other drinks available from the bar. The menu is prepared to order and can change, so guests with allergies should ask about the latest ingredients and discuss possible cross contact before choosing tapas or paella.
