“The shakahuka is great (like a capsicum pepper and tomato soup and eggs to order), the avocado toast is wonderful and avocado portion plentiful, the eggs any way come with 2 hot hash browns (yum!), baked beans (only ok, could be better) and sautéed mushrooms (really good) but the highlight (and to show the little things matter) toast with butter and jam (excellent quality and complimentary unlike the other place).”

“We had the Katsu burger and the Salmontini benedict. They were a bit busy on that week day and our order was served after about 25 minutes. The food was worth the wait. Both the benedict and the burger were excellent, though the eggs were a little runny. The burger’s brioche bun was soft and tasty, the Katsu sauce delicious and the fries just right. The only thing that would have been better than that burger would have be another burger.”

Order early. For all-you-can-eat sushi, place your choices at the start so the flow of plates does not interrupt the meal.
Check schedule. If visiting for open sushi, confirm the current promotion and hours first; one review listed Monday to Friday, 3pm–9pm.
Consider weekdays. For a quieter meal, try a weekend lunch; one review says the restaurant becomes packed during weekdays.
Check promotions. Wednesday diners may find the buy-one-get-one burger promotion, though current terms should be confirmed before visiting.
Plan the visit
Some diners experienced delays despite the restaurant being relatively quiet, including during brunch.
The all-you-can-eat sushi deal does not include drinks, so budget for beverages separately.
The breakfast buffet has a smaller selection than nearby alternatives and lacks some protein options.
One diner found the flatware heavily used and the chairs unclean, despite enjoying the food.
A past open-sushi visit reported strong-smelling fish, dark tuna and a cheesecake that was not fresh.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Salmontini Le Bistro in DIFC is a seafood-led Mediterranean restaurant where salmon is the clearest draw, alongside sushi, sashimi and other bistro dishes. The all-you-can-eat sushi promotions are a major reason people visit, while the seaweed salad, miso soup and grilled salmon also receive specific praise. Portions are often described as generous.
It works for several kinds of meals. The business lunch has been described as substantial, and the large dining area, outdoor seating and moderate music suit friendly work lunches. For dinner, reviews mention a calm, quiet atmosphere, while the open-sushi sessions can be lively or busy.
Breakfast and brunch are available too, although the breakfast buffet has a smaller selection than some nearby alternatives. Deals are worth checking before you go: reviews mention open sushi from Monday to Friday between 3pm and 9pm, a Friday all-you-can-eat offer and a Wednesday burger promotion. Drinks may not be included in sushi deals, and the DIFC branch does not serve alcohol.
Service is usually praised as attentive and fast, but a few diners reported delayed orders. One older review also raised concerns about fish freshness and dining-area upkeep, so check dishes and conditions if anything seems off.
