Lunches Tuesday to Sunday with wood-fired meats, stews and escabeches; ternasco lamb menu at €34 and beef chop menu at €40, and calçotada from January to March.

Wood, kitchen garden and escabeche
The restaurant of the Hotel El Salt is a midday house: it opens Tuesday to Sunday from 13:00 to 15:30 and does not serve dinners. It cooks with produce from the region and from the family's kitchen garden, and what sets it apart is the wood-fired grill, where the meats are cooked, and an entire section of roasts, stews and home-made escabeches. The bar-café opens from 8:00 to 17:00, so it also works for coffee and a mid-morning snack before going up to the castle.
Two fixed menus
There is no set menu of the day. What there are, are two fixed menus, with water, bread and VAT included and which cannot be shared:

Aragón ternasco lamb menu, €34: oven-roast ternasco with potatoes and peppers.
Beef chop menu, €40: a beef chop of about 600 g grilled over wood.

Both begin with a first course to choose between scrambled wild asparagus with black pudding, home-made piquillo peppers stuffed with cod, home-made meat cannelloni with porcini béchamel or salad with goat's cheese log, and finish with cheesecake, crema catalana, egg flan or limoncello tartufo. From January to March there is also the calçotada menu, and through the year there are special seasonal menus.
What is on the à la carte menu
On the grill, Matarraña lamb (€18), home-made longaniza sausage (€11), slow-cooked pork ribs with candied pear (€14), beef sirloin (€24) and 30-day-aged Simmental beef chop, at €55 a kilo. Among the roasts and stews, ternasco with potatoes (€21), braised oxtail (€18), pig's trotters in almond sauce (€13), venison loin (€18), kid in breadcrumbs (€18) and partridge in escabeche (€21).
To start, starters from €10 to €16: artichoke hearts with Parmesan, esqueixada of cod, Teruel ham or a platter of local cheeses, and home-made stew croquettes at €1.75 each, from four. From the sea, grilled turbot (€24), monkfish with prawns (€22) or confit cod with roast tomato (€16). The home-made desserts run from €4.80 to €7, with baked apple filled with cream and almonds or chocolate soup with ice cream; for children there are ice creams.
With a starter, a main and a dessert à la carte, the bill comes to around €35 to €45 per person without wine.
Where it is and when it closes
It is at Calle Elvira Hidalgo, 14, in the Arrabal, the part of Valderrobres on the other side of the stone bridge. It closes on Monday and also on the last Sunday of each month. It has a room devoted to Valderrobres, opened in 2019. Book on 978 890 865 or at gerente@hotelelsalt.com. If you sleep at the Hotel El Salt, the restaurant is the house's own; and it is the lunch of the Sunday with castle and Parrizal, between the castle in the morning and the boardwalks in the afternoon.

Qué pedir: the Aragón ternasco menu (€34) or the grilled beef chop one (€40); à la carte, the wood-grilled Matarraña lamb or the partridge in escabeche
