Right on the beach, this Manly favourite is perfect for watching the goings-on in the water and on the sand while kicking back with anything from a hearty breakfast to a cocktail or something off the appealing lunch and dinner menu. The food revolves around quality Australian meats and plenty of seafood, served up with style. Some nice wines too.

It's high quality but casual: turn up in a business suit or a bathing suit. It's worth booking ahead for a window table.
