Description
Just minutes away from Ipswich town centre, Mariners is a renowned French Brasserie on a 110 year old Dutch boat, moored alongside Neptune Quay at Ipswich Marina. Previously known as Il Punto, this well established restaurant has recently been relaunched but maintains its tradition of serving top quality French food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Many of the original features of this fine and much travelled vessel, launched in 1899 in Belgium, are retained.
Everything is immaculate and shipshape — the brasswork gleams, the woodwork reflects the subtle lights from the boat-studded harbour scene outside and the calls of the seabirds remove any possible lingering doubts of authenticity.
The service, mainly a French team, knowledgeable and friendly, effortlessly ensures that customers thoroughly enjoy their meal.
It's the perfect setting for a quick or leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner or a family event with relaxing views over the Marina.
Mariners is open Tuesdays to Saturdays
Lunch — 2 course menu £12.50, 3 courses £15.50
Dinner — 3 course Table d'hôte menu £26.95 - £28.95
Parking facilities are nearby along the quay or NCP car park at Duke Street.
