our roots

How we began

It started with the name salantro. It is near and dear to our hearts as it is our daughter’s nickname ‘lil’ salantro’. It is a combination of our family name and our love of cilantro. When cooking, we take every opportunity to infuse our dishes with the flavour of caribbean spices especially chadon beni otherwise known as culantro. The love of food and our enjoyment of different flavours always brought us back to our roots. Memories of growing up in Trinidad and Tobago with home cooked meals inspired us to combine and develop flavours that entice the taste buds and leave you wanting for more. Our passion for creativity and a good lime* is reflected in the Salantro experience. And now Salantro is here, ready to serve you. An experience to remember, home cooked meals with an elevated dining experience.

*lime - A get together with friends usually featuring food and drinks.
