Two brothers give Sal its personality: Dimitri in the dining room, with the flair of a movie star, and Chef Mauro in the kitchen, confidently reworking traditional recipes. You’ll find their restaurant tucked away across from the Avila Hotel in Pietermaai. It’s romantic without feeling formal, and the brothers bring their own sense of fun to the place.
Mauro’s cooking takes familiar dishes in unexpected directions, like duck breast with Mexican mole and pumpkin millefeuille. For something to go with it, ask Dimitri or his team. They know their wines and drinks and are happy to help you find a pairing.
