Mariners at Il Punto is located on Neptune Quay, in Ipswich. It's cuisine is French and Modern European. Everything is immaculate and shipshape, the brasswork gleams, the woodwork reflects the subtle lights from the boat-studded harbour scene outside and the cries of the seabirds remove any possible lingering doubts of authenticity. The menu is as traditional as the ship's ropework and could include starters of rabbit saddle stuffed with duck foie gras and toasted brioche, a terrine of courgettes, smoked salmon and goat cheese with a red pepper coulis or fresh crab meat layered with avocado mousse and tomato jelly.
