dinner

Perched on the edge of Whangārei’s bustling marina, The Marina Café and Restaurant offers front-row views of swaying masts, sparkling water and the gentle rhythm of passing boats. It’s a place where time slows naturally, set against a relaxed, coastal backdrop.

The menu reflects a diverse, multi-cuisine approach. Alongside well-executed Western favourites, The Marina proudly serves Thai cuisine prepared by a dedicated team of specialist chefs. 

Discover a full range of fragrant curries, stir-fries, and rice dishes that bring depth and character to the menu. Hearty staples remain a cornerstone of the selection, with classics like fish and chips served with crunchy coleslaw and tartare, alongside a rich seafood chowder packed with fresh catches and white fish.

Burgers are equally satisfying evening options, from a house-made beef burger with grilled cheese and tomato chutney to a pork belly burger finished with Kewpie mayonnaise. For a more refined experience, the dinner menu features premium selections like slow-cooked beef cheeks with jus and carrot puree, or a braised pork jowl and pork belly - crisped to perfection!

The Marina Café and Restaurant delivers a warm, versatile dinner experience where the setting is just as memorable as the food
