Salt Restaurant and Bar

$$$

Put a slightly upscale yet still casual restaurant in a popular local hotel, with a waterside location in a vacation town, and you've got this can't-miss dining spot. There is casual pub dining in the bars, but Salt, with its alfresco dining by the palm-edged marina, is the star. The menu changes with the seasons, sometimes offering free-range pork belly with marinated prawns, seafood bouillabaisse, or grass-fed eye fillet. Bar snacks include lots of fresh seafood such as Coromandel mussels. Reservations are recommended in summer.
