Marlin Bar and Bistro

Best Known For

Seafood Marinara: prawns, scallops, mackerel and mussels, cooked in creamy tomato sugo, served with fettuccine pasta and finished with baby spinach and Parmesan cheese.

On the tropical oasis of Magnetic Island, set back just a stone’s throw from the turquoise waters of magazine-worthy Horseshoe Bay, is Marlin Bar and Bistro. From a spacious interior with sturdy, dark wooden tables, a thatched palm frond overhang and high wine barrel tables, to a sunny alfresco area outside, a relaxed vibe drifts throughout. Hungry travellers, fresh from the beach looking for classic bistro fare or an idyllic place for a glass of white, mix with locals settling in before the big game starts. Perhaps opt for an entrée of chilli mussels with tomato sugo, chilli, garlic, wine and toasted bread, before moving onto a main of cider braised pork belly with creamy mash, red cabbage, apple and gravy; or perhaps opt for a crunchy pizza with pulled lamb, mozzarella and pine nuts.
