The sad news that Andy Bowdy and Maddison Howes’s beloved Enmore Road bakery, Saga, was closing in June was, thankfully, quickly followed by an announcement that Bowdy would be opening another venue very soon. The new spot, Salma's Canteen, opened in Rosebery in July. It’s a joint venture with Michael Rantissi and his wife, Kristy Fawley, the talented pair behind Kepos Street Kitchen. Airy and welcoming, the red-brick Botany Road space is awash with sunlight from large street-facing windows. The focus here is on easy eating: bountiful salads, Rantissi’s salmon pastrami and Bowdy’s pies ready to eat (or empty shells to take home and fill). In the fridge you’ll find a mix of sodas, dips, sauces and meals ready for the oven. Andy Bowdy joins Around Town to chat about the new opening.
