Restaurant Sasa

Residing in the Marlborough Hotel is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Blenheim. Its name is Sasa.

Effortlessly merged with the hotel's pristine design, Sasa allows you to dine right beside a crystal-clear pool whilst soaking in some rays in NZ's sunniest city. There's no better place to unwind after a full day, and you can even combine dinner with a pre-aperitif swim, followed by your first cocktail. If, for some reason, the sun decides to stay away, head indoors, where you'll find a comfortable bistro waiting to accommodate you.

Sasa embraces the variety of Japanese cuisine and is keen to show you everything that it has to offer. Even the starters are extensive, offering everything from crispy seafood and vegetable tempura to takoyaki octopus dumplings, crunchy gyoza with all kinds of fillings and platters full of melt-in-the-mouth sashimi.

The mains follow suit with goodies from the wok that combine marinated chicken and pork with crumbed katsu, sweet miso glazes and tofu. Don't miss their signature dishes like sizzling bulgogi beef and fiery bibimbap, for those that can't resist a theatrical entrance. Japanese food as you've never experienced it before, Sasa is serving up poolside vibes for your next round of Sake.
