    Bathers Pavilion Restaurant is of world class, simply perfection. Food of an extremely high standard with excellent service, beautiful views and a lovely ambiance. It is expensive but good value for money with the high quality provided. Parking can be difficult on weekends and public holidays so it's certainly advisable to arrive early, giving time to find parking or in some instances better to take a taxi.

    For authentic Mexican food there is no better than Tommy’s at Manly. The service, ambience of the venue, drink selection and quality and of course the food was just remarkable. Compliments to Ricardo the head chef and his wonderful staff for the best night out we have ever had. My dad recommended this restaurant and I am so glad we came.
