With dark graffiti-covered walls, N3 Tapas Bar isn’t what you would typically expect from a Marina Mirage restaurant but that’s precisely the point. The casual venue provides the perfect backdrop for long lazy lunches over a couple of afternoon and cocktail-filled evenings. The menu, created by the venue’s Chef de Cuisine, Geoff Hart, who was previously awarded one Chef Hat by the Australian Good Food & Travel Guide (AGFG), is conveniently categorised by the paddock, the ocean and the garden and offers some modern Australian tastes with international influences. The scallops with black pudding and cauliflower puree and 48-hour slow-cooked Wagyu brisket with onion rings and hand-cut chips are among the stand-outs but if you can’t decide (we don’t blame you), opt for the Feed Me option that includes five tapas plates, a main and a dessert. N3 Tapas Bar hosts live music on weekends.
