Pillar of Salt

Pillar of Salt, nestled in Richmond's vibrant Church Street, offers a relaxed atmosphere with exposed-brick walls and a charming courtyard. The menu features inventive dishes like the Nordic Breakfast Board, combining ocean trout gravlax with vodka and juniper berries, scrambled eggs, rye toast, dill aioli, and Emmental cheese. Coffee enthusiasts can enjoy the house-made Pillar blend by Five Senses, along with rotating single-origin brews and seasonal infusions such as honeycomb or blueberry. The café's unique design centers around a white-tiled pillar, complemented by a recycled Canadian plywood communal table and colander light fittings. A retractable roof and outdoor heaters in the courtyard ensure comfort year-round.
