About:
• Launched in September 2018, Salt & Palm has established itself as a staple
of collective Indonesian culture and cuisine within Sydney’s Inner West.
• Adapting to Sydney’s evolving hospitality scene, Salt & Palm boasts a share-
style menu, honouring traditional Indonesian recipes with hints of modern
creative flair.
• Taking central positioning on Glebe Point Road, the venue is unassuming
and resembles a quintessential federation home. Visitors are welcomed into
a relaxed and leafy retreat with two generous courtyards and a central dining
room and bar.
• Salt & Palm is the brainchild of Owner and Head Chef Natasya Soetantyo
and is a culmination of generations of hospitality leaders spanning across
Indonesia, Singapore and Australia.
• With her family based in both Indonesia and Singapore and running an
impressive portfolio of restaurants and bars under their hospitality group
Blue Waves Food Empire, Natasya took all she knew and threw it into Salt
& Palm in Australia.
• With Natasya at the realm of the business and kitchen, Salt & Palm fosters
female leadership in the hospitality industry with a female-dominated
workplace, starkly contrasted to the statistics that show 90% of all hospitality
leaders and CEOs in Australia are male.
