La Marée

La Marée’s cooking philosophy is to harness the culinary traditions of France, together with NZ’s finest seafood, and transform them into culinary masterpieces.

In French, La Marée’ means ‘the tide’, which represents the restaurant’s harbourside locale. The natural ebbing and flowing of the waters mirror the seasonality of the produce used to create the menu.

This is a place where luxury meets soulful sustenance, where an orchestrated symphony of French and Latin fusion cuisine takes place.

Helmed by Executive Chef, Alfredo Romero, La Marée is a sophisticated spot to delight yourself in sustainably sourced dishes looking over the maritime waters.

At La Marée, meticulous attention to detail illustrates a commitment to quality and sustainability that far exceeds elegant presentation. Each dish skilfully melds an array of locally sourced ingredients, with the emphasis firmly on celebrating their natural flavours. The carefully crafted menu shines a spotlight on beautifully arranged entrées, including specials such as Little Barrier Island scallops and Nelson paddle crab, and Antler's farm-roasted beetroots.

The culinary adventure continues with main courses that feature a tantalising blend of traditional and innovative recipes, including braised pure south short rib and charred cauliflower.
