The story
La Mar in Exmouth shapes its marina dining around shifting seasons and regional produce. The kitchen rotates its lunch offerings weekly while maintaining a broader à la carte list that recently earned an AA Rosette for culinary excellence. Guests encounter a straightforward progression where ingredient quality dictates the cooking rather than heavy sauces. This constant update keeps every visit distinct while preserving a consistent standard of preparation.
Friday evenings transform into a dedicated Spanish tapas experience featuring authentic small plates and a continuous line-up of dishes. A live flamenco guitarist performs throughout the evening to accompany the meal without overwhelming conversation. Patrons typically order multiple plates to share while watching the water from their tables. This structured programme adds a reliable rhythm to the weekly dining calendar.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted views of Exmouth Harbour while polished timber tables anchor this marina dining space. The layout prioritises clear sightlines so guests can watch boats move through the lock or catch the afternoon light reflecting off the water. Private events utilise a separate lounge area capable of hosting forty guests for weddings or corporate gatherings. The space remains deliberately quiet, allowing the food and harbour activity to take centre stage.
