The Saucer Restaurant

The saucer is accesible by boat, which makes it a great morning cruise for a good breakfast at the Saucer. Your boat can be tied up at the jetty while you enjoy your breakfast or lunch.
The Saucer is shaped like a "Flying saucer". It is very old and in need of a refurb.
This restaurant is very popular with the local bikers as this is one of their stops for the "Breakfast run"
The restaurant overlooks the Manten Marina. Beautiful boats are moored here throughout the year.
Lunches and dinners are served, as well as a take-out order.
Often we will arrive at our holiday house on a Friday night, quite late, and pick up a dinner to take home.

Favorite Dish: The ribs and calamari are very good for lunch, or the "Captain's Breakfast" -- for breakfast.
