Bucket List stuff. Get here while you can . Seriously. Wow. Just wow. Lin and I visited here a week ago while we working in Broken Hill for few days. This is "Bucket List - have to try" stuff. There are several meals that I have had in the past 50 years that are memories that I will never forget. This is another one. Food was sublime. Atmosphere was neat, friendly, and staff was very relaxed and friendly also. Chef Lee is a treasure. Not pretentious, and such a wonderful host. Her food is special and creative and highest level of cooking. We awarded a Michelin Star. Seriously it was so good that its worth a trip to Broken Hill just to come here for a meal, the memory of which, you will cherish forever!

Wonderful dining experience in a very welcoming environment The Old Saltbush restaurant is a hidden gem dining experience in the outback town of Broken Hill. The restaurant is small and intimate, with only seating for around 30 diners. The menu offers a fine dining selection using local and regional ingredients. As the name suggests, local saltbush is a featured ingredient in a number of dishes. Chef will often join dinners in the restaurant to discuss the menu and some of the features of the dishes. You are made to feel a valued guest in chef's own home. The food is complemented by wines from the local region of Australia with selections from some smaller wineries featured rather than large producers, again adding to the overall experience. Wait staff are attentive without being overbearing and managing all your dining needs. A feature of the drinks menu is the specially produced Saltbush gin made at a local distillery and flavoured with local saltbush for a unique flavour only Saltbush through the restaurant

Superb Oh my goodness! As a person who needs to eat gluten free I was so surprised that there were so many options. I had the cheese soufflé and it was so good. Then the lamb for mains! Everything was brilliant including Nathan’s excellent service. Highly recommend

Delectable Dinner What an amazing dinner. Nathan took care of our orders, took photos, and was a pleasure to have waiting on us. The vegetarian antipasto was delectable. As was the kangaroo and lamb off the mixed grill bush plate. We will definitely be back again.
