âYou donât see many restaurants like this anymoreâ Nicholas Jordan, Broadsheet Manlyâs newest seafood restaurant, is located just off the beach in a landmark site that locals have long admired. The Herring Room is family owned & run by veterans of the ind

Having visited The Sardine Room in Potts Point five years ago, I was sad it has closed; however, the owners decided to move the business to Manly and open up the Herring Room. I remained on their mailing list all this time so I knew they had moved.Five years later, I returned to Sydney and the first place I had to visit was the Herring Room. So, after five years the lovely owners Ange and Rodney recognised me and that made my evening. Not only that, I asked about a particular dessert Iâd had at The Sardine Room (a Greek semolina pudding) which wasnât on the menu at the Herring Room. Low and behold, Rodney only went home to get me some so I could have it again. Now thatâs service for you. Sometimes you come across a special place and special people like Ange and Rodney. The Sardine Room lives on in the Herring Room, because the owners have kept the reputation and quality of the service and food to a very high standard and people keep coming back.Itâs worth the ferry ride across from the CBD just to visit The Herring Room and be greeted by the excellent staff and lovely owners.

We enjoyed the "Stressless Sunday" 5 course degustation dinner at $79 / person on Father's Day.As always the dishes are interesting & diverse & not too filling.Their organic wholemeal sourdough bread with homemade Ricotta is a great start.The only disappointments were that there was no menu to explain what the 5 dishes were & that there are no Australian or New Zealand wines available by the glass.Grazie mille Richard! We are pleased you enjoyed the Stressless Sunday menu, as it's a great way to experience some past and present dishes at Ormeggio. The whole aim of the evening is that it is the chefs way of being creative and designing a menu quite à la minute, therefore, we do not provide a menu on this particular evening. The team did explain each dish to you on the evening as this is standard and a very important procedure. As we are an Italian restaurant we do mainly provide Italian wines, however, we do have a number of Australian wines by the bottle. We hope to see you again soon.

Why Hemingwayâs Manly? Ernest Hemingway called Paris his home in the 1920s because, âThe most interesting people of the world lived in Paris at that time,â (Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, etc.) and apparently because the monetary exchang

It easy to see why it is loved as a quirky antidote to some of the bigger, impersonal venues in manly. It has warmth and character, sophisticated food served in stylish surroundings by interested staff. Steak tartare was perfect with champagne& absinthe

FORAGE is here (shhhh...) Manly's First Secret Closed Door Restaurant. With organic or free range seasonal menu's and themed dinners, who knows where we will pop up next. You need to be in the know as we hold events a couple of times per a month or by req

If you like great food, meeting new people and originality in dining experiences, then this is definitely for you. Whilst we knew we were going, we only found out that morning where we were going to be hosted. This is definitely part of the charm of the whole experience. Once you walk through the doors, you are greeted with champagne, canapes, interesting people (your fellow diners) and the welcome of both Shaun and Michelle. They are great hosts and clearly have such a passion for what they are doing. The conversation, the food and excellent wines flow all evening. I would recommend this to anyone and we will certainly be doing it again!
