Anchored in the heart of Whitianga, Salt Restaurant and Bar look out to the marina and estuary - a setting that invites lingering. It's a vibrant rendezvous for food lovers, where the beauty of the Coromandel shoreline meets warm hospitality and flavour-forward cooking.

Seafood is a natural star. Oysters arrive natural, grilled with cheese, or in a crisp tempura, while mussels are treated two ways - either torched or simmered in a Thai green curry mussel pot served with bread. To begin, warm Turkish bread with garlic butter feels suitably coastal, and pork belly bites with sesame dressing add a moreish kick.

Mains balance comfort and craft. A seared snapper with whipped butter, mashed potato, and seasonal vegetables nods to classic fish cookery - the chef’s double smash burger with hand-cut fries brings bistro indulgence. From the grill, scotch fillet and eye fillet await, with a loaded potato and sauces to suit. 

To finish, crème brûlée and a New York cheesecake offer timeless pleasures.

With the water glinting nearby, the mood's easygoing yet celebratory. Swing by for a bite, stay for the view, and let Salt turn simple seaside moments into something special. 

The tide's in on good taste - why not catch the next wave?
