Our Story
A Love Affair with Excellence
Some stories begin with a single moment of inspiration. Ours began with a feeling – an unshakable devotion to elegance, tradition, and the simple yet profound pleasure of exceptional food. In 2001, in the heart of the culinary epicenter of Beirut, Salmontini was born not merely as a restaurant but as an ode to craftsmanship, a tribute to time-honored techniques, and a place where passion finds its way onto every plate.
From the very first cut of our signature smoked salmon to the refined yet welcoming ambiance of our dining rooms, every detail was designed to create more than just a meal – it was meant to be an experience. By 2005, our story carried us beyond Beirut, weaving its way into the fabric of the UAE, where Salmontini became synonymous with sophistication, authenticity, and a commitment to culinary artistry.
Because at Salmontini, the finest things in life aren’t just served – they are experienced.

The House of Salmon
At the core of everything we do is our salmon – our pride, our signature, and the very essence of our identity. Sourced from the pristine, icy waters of Scotland, each fillet is carefully selected, traditionally smoked using age-old techniques, and hand-sliced with precision. This is more than just food; it is a craft, a heritage, and a commitment to excellence that has stood the test of time. Every bite carries with it the depth of expertise and an unyielding pursuit of perfection.More Than a Meal
But Salmontini has never just been about the food. It’s about the people – the business professionals closing deals over lunch, the families creating cherished memories, the food connoisseurs delighting in every detail, and the travelers discovering uncharted culinary waters. Our restaurants have always been more than just places to dine; they are spaces designed for connection, conversation, and moments that linger long after the last course.The Road Ahead
