Best Casual Restaurants in Manly

We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday with other members of the family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. All the entrees were delicious and everyone was happy with the main courses. Friendly service, ambience and water views make this an outstanding venue. Thankyou.

The restaurant seats by date of booking and order of seating preference. So be sure to let them know if you want to be on the balcony (outside) or inside as this will determine whether you are in the direct sun or not depending upon your dining time. We did not know this and they were kind enough to accommodate us to be out of the sun. The food was excellent as was service. It seems expensive for a small sourdough loaf ($12) - we get bread included for free at home, 3 prawns ($32) and fish & chips ($56) hence my "good value" rating only. However, food is expensive in Sydney, the portion size was not skimpy and the quality of the fish was high. So it was worth it and we'd go back again.

Superb location. Staff and service exceptional. Food was fresh, plentiful and delicious. The live music was relaxing and so perfect for a lazy afternoon lunch. I’ll be back - Thankyou.

The Bower is sensational. The food is divine (especially the Green Goodness Bowl) and the view over Manly and out to the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. Beyond words. The Espresso Martini at the Bower is the best I’ve ever had. 10 stars!

Great place to eat - food was amazing will ho back
