Situated in the heart of Picton, where land meets the sea and the yearning for quality dining matches the freshness of the ocean breeze, The Boatshed stands proud, delivering an unforgettable dining experience. This Marlborough gem is more than a restaurant; it's a destination for those who appreciate a view that enhances their meal, and a meal that's as memorable as the view.
As you enter The Boatshed, you’re greeted by an ambience that’s both nautical and chic, a tribute to Picton’s coastal spirit. The decor tells stories of maritime adventures while encouraging you to create dining memories in a setting that’s elegant yet relaxed. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration or to prepare for an evening of sophistication and indulgence.
The dining experience begins with starters like tempura king prawns, each a crispy delight, served with chilli and lemongrass mayo that’s as zesty as it is refreshing. Perhaps the Akaroa Salmon will catch your eye, with its hot-smoked cumin, garlic, and bay leaves flavours, perfectly balanced by a sweet ginger reduction and roasted aioli.
The main courses are equally impressive, with the yard arm’s meal offering an upgraded fish and chips experience, complemented by tartare sauce and a fresh house salad. For those preferring turf over surf, the captain’s meal serves up an open ribeye steak sandwich that’s hearty and satisfying, topped with BBQ sauce and a fried egg on sourdough. Vegetarians are well catered for too, with the kumara and horopito gnocchi offering a comforting dish of spicy tomato, thyme, and parmesan sauce.
Burger enthusiasts will find solace with options like the beach chicken burger, where chicken schnitzel meets crispy bacon in a brioche bun, and The Shore Burger, a beef masterpiece with all the trimmings, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.
While The Boatshed may share its location with the Picton Yacht Club Hotel, it shines as a pinnacle of dining excellence in its own right. It’s a place where each dish showcases the region's bounty and every mouthful is a reminder of Marlborough's noteworthy dining scene. After all, The Boatshed isn’t merely a meal; it's an exploration of the senses, where each visit unveils new discoveries to be made.
