La Marina supplies all your favourite delis and restaurants, and as they are the supplier and by way of deduction, that means they have more than everyone else. Yes, I’m oversimplifying it a bit but that really doesn’t make it less true. Walking through the doors you immediately notice they aren’t messing around. They stock everything from
that cooking show you love, as well as products you thought you'd never find in South Africa. It’s a foodie's paradise.
From truffles to caviar and crayfish, you won’t be disappointed. I walked through some of the isles and wept because lobster doesn’t exactly feature on my shopping list this time of the month... or at all.
They also have a little cafe on premises which focuses on the finer side of seafood. The menu includes delicacies at rather inviting prices like 6 black tiger prawns and chips for just R155, grilled kingklip for R135 and 6 oysters and a glass of bubbly for just R129. Sushi lovers are also catered for with a variety of amazing platters. I was too busy the afternoon I popped in to have a meal there but I won’t make that mistake again. The next time I’ll go with a few hours on my hands and a fistful of cash.
I met the general manager Karl who is a really down to earth guy and I find that always speaks volumes for an establishment. He mentioned how they could get you anything you want whether they stock it or not. He will make it happen be it from Russia or the depths of the Pacific, delicacies are their business and for my money I think they’re doing a fantastic job.
