Why it's worth checking out
Garfish sits on East Esplanade on the Manly waterfront, in one of Sydney's most iconic beachside suburbs near the ferry wharf. A well-regarded seafood restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, fresh seafood — the kind of accomplished, welcoming spot that makes the most of the day's catch in a lovely waterside location.
The appeal is that combination of quality, fresh seafood, a good drinks offering and a relaxed setting in a great Manly waterfront location, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or a seafood feast near the harbour and the beach. Fresh, quality seafood done well has natural appeal in a seaside suburb, and Garfish has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd over the years.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Manly seafood restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or visiting Manly in peak season.
