Our favourite restaurant in Manly. A bit more up market and great for celebrating special occasions. A great selection of fresh fish and seafood, as well as a great cocktail and wine menu. The snapper pie and fish curry is a favourite.

A hidden gem, next to Manly Pizza and Wine. Casual restaurant. Don't be put off that both these restaurants are in a 'corridor' so wrap up warm! The best Thai food in Manly, must try their signature dishes. (there's a few!) The Banana Leaf salad and the Prawn Betel leaves are our favourite. It gets busy so best to book, especially at weekends.

A trip along the beaches from Manly to Palm beach is a well worth trip. The scenery is amazing and all the beaches are different. There's lots of places to stop en route, with coffee shops and cafes in abundance. If you don't have a car you can catch a bus all the way to Palm Beach. There's lots to do once you get here and the fish and chips are delicious!
