Best Lunch Restaurants in Manly

"There are numerous options for getting out and seeing Sydney from the water. The cheapest option is to get on one of the ferries. You'll still have the opportunity to check out the Opera House from a different angle, possibly see some marine life, whilst at the same time getting to your destination, which is, more often than not, Manly."

"There is something about eating outside that makes your meal taste even better, and Sydney’s sunny atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor dining spot!. But where does one start?. Sydney is home to countless outdoor restaurants, offering both delicious food and jaw-dropping views!"

"A party-time oasis of pink flamingos and private cabanas for the past 12 years, Ivy Pool Club underwent a refresh in 2020 to provide more al fresco dining options. Additional booths and poolside tables were installed, and chef Vincenzo Biondini expanded his menu to include Italian-ish salads and antipasto such as mortadella, burrata and giardiniera. Pool Club now has table service too, and guests really keen to push out the inflatable swan can order caviar and Dom Perignon from Uccello next door."

"Ivy Pool Club is one of Sydney's most popular bars, found at the top of the Ivy complex in Sydney CBD. Recline in a private cabana or take a dip in the crystal clear water under the city skyline, with premium cocktails and Italian-style bites available if you get hungry."

"Arguably the most luxurious drinking and dining destination in Sydney, Ivy Pool Club is a hotspot for rooftop dips and potent tipples. Head here for a day of poolside tanning and Aperol spritzes, before tucking into some light antipasti or a decadent pizza."

"Chatkazz is a haven for Indian street snacks – a massive, colourful and busy restaurant with diners hooking into classics such as biryani and roti, alongside bizarre (and delicious) takes on Western snacks like club sandwiches and pizza. Shop 4, 14-20 Station Street E, Harris Park"

"Chatkazz is a culinary gem and delivers a truly special eating experience. The term means “spicy and delicious”, and that’s exactly what you’ll get from this popular Harris Park spot. It specialises in street food and farsan (salty snacks) that’ll transport you directly to India."

"Bringing diverse, complex and bold flavours to The Rocks, ASLAN Coffee Roasters source their coffee beans solely from the Indonesian Archipelago – before roasting them locally in St Peters. The islands of Indonesia have a reputation for some of the best coffee in the world, and after a visit to ASLAN, it’s not hard to see why. Taste the heavy body and sweet overall impression of coffee from Java (the origin of the coffee nickname), smooth and supple to the last drop."

"Nestled in one of Sydney’s most historic spots is the latest venture by St Peters’ Aslan Coffee Roasters. Bringing a slice of the inner west to the CBD, this cafe provides The Rocks with its best coffee — and we’re mighty glad to see good brews finally make their way to this part of the city.

"Sure, this Haymarket spot may be best known as the place where you can barbecue your own meats into your table’s built-in grill. But if you can’t even face putting on pants, let alone cooking your own meats, order in from the restaurant and all the hard work is done for you. As well as the spicy grilled pork belly and grilled LA short ribs, you should order some of 678’s delectable fried chicken."

"This gelato mecca has been around for 17 years and they're always trying something new, whether it's a new flavour, new healthy range or a mash-up you didn't see coming, like the new Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea gelato. This limited edition flavour is made up of organic Assam tea, a robust, black tea with notes of malt, which is brewed and infused with the decadent creamy gelato, and finished off with a swirl of rich brown sugar syrup. Each scoop of Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea is then topped with extra soft and chewy tapioca pearls for an added layer of texture and to remain true to its dessert inspiration."

"A post shared by the AU review (@theaureview) on Nov 18, 2015 at 9:52pm PST. Beaches and ice cream are an undeniably appealing combination and Gelatissimo at Cronulla treats this winning formula with all due respect by serving up over 30 flavours of freshly made gelato, including truly tempting salted caramel, peanut butter fudge and macadamia nut. Alongside the superb scoops, there are also plenty of incredible eat-in dessert options like their heavenly gelato doughnuts."

"This isn’t an unnatural fusion like most of the ideas behind the best Asian-fusion restaurants in Sydney. The surprising marriage between Japanese and Peruvian cuisine flavours dates back decades, reaching all the way to when a sizable Japanese diaspora based themselves in Peru and started using local ingredients to build working-class dishes from their homeland. The word for this cuisine was Nikkei, which is where this eatery – from the team behind Tokyo Bird – found its name, and energy with menu options like nori tostadas, swordfish loins with aji cucumber salsa, spiced tempura king prawns, and of course, a silver trevally ceviche with leche de tigre, sweet potato, cancha corn, and Spanish onion."

"Nikkei features Japanese-Peruvian styled share plates alongside a 40-strong wine list and Peruvian and Japanese-inspired cocktails.Nikkei are people from Japan and their descendants that live in a foreign country. It also specifically refers to the cuisine of the Japanese-Peruvians which started..."

Family-friendly and low-fuss this Lebanese local is known for their rich flavours, generous servings and their lively atmosphere.

Our top food picks include the La Tasmienne galette, made with smoked Tasmanian salmon, capers, crème fraîche and fresh dill, and the super popular La Nutella crepe (we’re sure you can guess the filling for that one).

"Chef Dan Pepperell and his dream have brought a new wave of French dining to Potts Point. On the menu you'll find boudin noir (blood sausage) spring rolls, escargot pasta and steak frites. Plus, there's a drinks list by the Swillhouse Group's former sommelier."

"Bistrot 916 is not your everyday neighbourhood French bistro. It’s a slice of France smack bang in Potts Point. This place is heavy on the French specialities with almost everything from escargot and lambs brain."
