Nothing goes better with vintage shopping than a cup of coffee and café fare with flair and that’s what you’ll find at newly opened Salters at Dirty Janes on Collie Street in Fyshwick. This Canberra café is the younger sibling of Salters in Bowral, offering delicious coffee, breakfast and lunch dishes to tempt all taste buds in a retro-themed vibe of eclectic knick-knacks, banquette seating and a red awning over the door.
Why should you drop in for a meal at Salters at Dirty Janes? Here are three good reasons:
What’s your most popular dish/drink:
Some of the must-try dishes are absolutely the Salters shakshuka and our housemade cheese-infused hash browns.
Our lunch menu is to die for but really, our breakfast menu is where it's at. For drinks, we brew our own chai in-house with a recipe from Nepal, we promise it's the best in Canberra.
What's your point of difference:
Our point of difference is the atmosphere you're getting to dine in. Being attached to the ACT's largest antique emporium market, you're instantly walking into another world not just to eat but to physically immerse yourself into this world of beauty, crazy, unique, nostalgia and life all at once.
Then add to this, you're given a menu of choice full of exactly that good old food you know you want and guess what. We've got it!
What is a fun fact that not many people know about the restaurant?
The cafe name 'Salters', was named after the father creator of Dirty Janes 'Athol Salter'. A genius and an icon in the world of Dirty Janes who can tell you everything and anything there is to know about every single antique piece.
We can only hope that the pieces inside the cafe by interior designer Lou Hakewill from the Theadore Collective excite Athol as much as they do owners Brendan and Jarrod.
The other important thing to the Salters brand is that this is a queer safe space. Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, it's so incredibly important to us that everybody feels not only safe and welcome but celebrated when they come into a Salters Cafe.
