Manly Pavilion

The Manly Pavilion sits on West Esplanade at Manly, on the harbour side of one of Sydney's most iconic beachside suburbs. A much-loved restaurant set in a gorgeous heritage pavilion, it makes the most of its lovely waterfront position — combining quality food and good drinks with a beautiful, characterful art-deco setting and gorgeous harbour-beach views, the kind of special-occasion spot that captures the best of Manly.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a stunning heritage-pavilion setting right on the Manly harbourfront, ideal for a special meal, a relaxed lunch, a date or drinks with lovely water views. The gorgeous art-deco building and waterfront location make it a genuine destination, and the Manly Pavilion has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a special occasion or a table with a water view at Manly.
