Kalye Marinas Filipino Grill and Seafood (Ashburton Branch)

Kalye Marinas Filipino Grill and Seafood in Ashburton offers a vibrant dining experience that brings the flavors of the Philippines to Melbourne. The menu features traditional Filipino dishes like silog meals—fried rice-based plates served with egg, pickled veggies, and proteins such as tocino (sweet cured pork) or tapa (marinated beef). A highlight is the customizable seafood boil, where guests can select from a variety of seafood options, add-ons, sides, and sauces, including the Filipino-inspired laing (a spicy coconut milk and shredded taro leaves sauce). Desserts like halo-halo (a mix of crushed ice, sweetened beans, candied fruits, ube, leche flan, and ice cream) and turon (jackfruit and banana spring roll) are also available. The restaurant's coastal aesthetic, adorned with surfboard accents and shell-themed decor, evokes a Caribbean vibe, enhancing the dining experience.
