Nothing beats a go-to neighborhood restaurant that delivers exactly what you are hungry (or thirsty) for every time. Salut on Grand Avenue in St. Paul is a top-notch French joint with a terrific wine selection and a diverse menu of casual-meets-refined eats with something for everyone.

There are many ways to enjoy the eatery’s offerings, making it the perfect place for parties both small and large. The first way I advise is to share as many table snacks as possible, including the fantastic artisan cheese plate, a classically prepared escargots à la bourguignonne and, of course, a plate of pommes frites (some of the best in town, if you ask me). If you’re looking for something to savor entirely on your own, the French onion soup should do the trick — it’s a hidden gem among other classics.
Let’s chat dinner. Go big or go home with the steak frites, a French staple blessed with the power of Salut’s house garlic butter. Looking for seafood? The crab cake prepared Oscar style is divine, packing the perfect amount of flavor into each bite. The menu also boasts a wide selection of salads, burgers, fresh fish and much, much more.
Has happy hour been calling your name? Salut offers a great daily happy hour featuring beer and wine specials as well as a simple selection of bites like East Coast oysters, a mini cheese plate and more.
Whether you’re looking to grab a seat at the bar for a couple drinks or planning to secure a reservation for a night out with friends and family, celebrate your next occasion with Salut on Grand. Bon appétit!
