New Tour Partners
Salem Food Tours is pleased to welcome Ledger Restaurant & Bar. Located at 125 Washington Street in the former Salem Savings Bank building (circa 1818). “This historically unique location houses a progressive New England concept, where traditional 19th-century dishes, cocktails, and techniques will be elevated with 21st-century resources.”
Featured this week on The Phantom Gourmet, Salem Food Tours looks forward to sharing more about this acclaimed eatery in the coming months.
Fresh made crepes, from savory to sweet, in this new downtown eatery. Crepes are a great alternative to “fast food” when you need a quick bite. They offer both traditional and gluten free buckwheat flour crepes, filled with everything from fresh fruit to vegetables, cheeses, meats to Nutella. Mr. Crepe is open 7 days a week in Salem.
