The Harbourside Restaurant - fine dining with the WOW factor at The Pier Hotel in Harwich.
The Harbourside - the best kept secret in Harwich and Manningtree
Situated on the first floor of Harwich and Manningtree's Pier Hotel, the Harbourside offers restaurant fine dining with an oceanic twist, overlooking the east coast's busiest harbour, as well as the Stour and Orwell estuaries, and serving up delicious seafood, much of which is landed in the harbour. Before you get to your table though, why not stop for a pre-dinner drink at the beautiful polished pewter bar? It's the perfect way to ready yourself for the excellent menu, which has so many tempting dishes it can be tricky to choose from. A fantastic range of fish and seafood dishes is complemented by soups, meat and vegetarian options, all expertly composed by head chef Chris Oakley who has enjoyed serving up gastronomic wonders at the Harbourside since it opened three decades ago. In addition to the main menu this terrific fine dining restaurant also provides outstanding Sunday lunch, wine and children's menus, consolidating Harbourside's standing as the best kept secret in Harwich and Manningtree. Weather permitting you can also eat out on the terrace and watch the boats come in. The Harbourside restaurant is quite simply perfect.
