Pink Salt Double Bay restaurant and bar which is co owned by Bella Serventi and Evan Hansimikali is rapidly approaching its 2nd year Birthday early next year.

The dynamic duo, who first burst onto our screen with the hit series My Restaurant Rules 2005 have been in partnership since they opened Pink Salt Manly 3 years ago.

Over the last 18 months Pink Salt has been operating as a fine dining restaurant, bar and events venue including the recently successful "McGrath Foundation" luncheon, Social Diary White party and Sun Herald’s Amy Cooper’s book launch. We are very excited to announce the launch of their bistro lunch menu and their continental breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 9am and 12pm.


"The move from fine dining to Bistro style will suit our clientele and make the experience at Pink Salt more relaxed and comfortable- we consider it fuss free 'fun' dining as opposed to fine", says Serventi and Hamsimikali.

Newly appointed Head Chef Michael Rantissi who was born in Tele Aviv, started his career at popular Torkiz seafood restaurant in Israel. His experience overseas working in the 2 - Michelin Star restaurant Sugar Club in London as Head Chef, Blue restaurant in Israel, Farida and 2C restaurants in Tele Aviv rewarded him with 2 distinguished honors by the "Association of Food Journalism" being 'Best Chef' in 2003 and in 2004 rating him the "Most innovating Chef" in Israel.

After spending many years working overseas Michael decided to come to Australia and worked at the famous Bathers Pavilion in 2005 as the Executive Sous Chef. Chef Michael has extensive experience and passion for cooking has proved to be the perfect fit for Pink Salt.

He has designed a fine dining menu for the evening and balanced bistro and breakfast menu which are affordable and innovative.

Dishes such as pink salt & pepper squid to plum glazed confit duck will be made available for patrons – not forgetting their famous pink fluffly cupcakes either!

Pink Salt's chic modern interior designed by Alex Zabotto-Bentley of FASHIONASSASSIN fame has been commissioned to re design the upstairs lounge area.

The vision will be very hip ‘boudoir’ themed lounge area with soft finishes, deep couches, small tables, soft lighting and will focus on great wine, champagne, cocktails and a reduced tasting menu for patrons who like to share dishes. The upstairs lounge bar will operate from Tuesday – Sunday, 7pm – 1am and will be the place to chill out with friends and associates before heading out to the disco. The lounge bar will offer personalized table service and can be used as a perfect function or event space for up to 100 people. A VIP area may also be reserved for a gourmet sit down dinner under red candles and pink lilies or just a social get together in an intimate setting.

Pink Salt in the heart of Double Bay will now offer patrons a more flexible experience with fresh surrounds and a daringly delicious menu. Sip on a watermelon martini or delight your taste buds!
