Frank's Oyster Bar & Eatery

Anchored in Blenheim, Frank's Oyster Bar & Eatery brings a modern, vibrant take on Marlborough’s bounty. This is a place to settle in with friends, share plates, and linger - a relaxed eatery where local flavours lead, and the welcome’s easygoing.

Oysters headline, of course: Marlborough oysters shucked with mignonette, or grilled Marlborough oysters glossed with burnt spring onion butter.

Beyond the shell, the kitchen leans into generous comfort with a contemporary edge - mushroom rigatoni swirled through truffle crème. It crowned with fried shallot, paired with Frank’s chicken parm layered with ricotta and a lick of hot honey.

To complement the spread, crisp baby cos with buttermilk, horseradish, and tamari seeds, plus a tumble of shoestring fries, keep things convivial and made to share.

For a sweet finish, the dark chocolate mousse gains lift from candied orange and cocoa crumb, while lime posset arrives under toasted meringue - bright, silky, and satisfying.

It’s local fare, treated with care, designed for good company and an unhurried evening. Gather your crew, park up, and let Frank’s do the heavy lifting!
