Revisited this venue, and it never disappoints.
Prime position, with uninterrupted views of Manly Beach.
Awesome brekkie, but I went for sun-downers, with a long dinner and wine.
Watch the waves roll in, volleyballers out the front, with immaculate food, and a great wine list.
Staff were attentive. Price point was spot on.
I visited "The Pantry Manly" with no reservation on Saturday afternoon. Staff were extremely friendly, professional & happy to find us a table for 2. The view no matter where you sit allows you to look at the beach.
The Restaurant is cosy & has great atmosphere. It is also capable of sitting large groups, would recommend booking if this is the case.
Food was fabulous and fresh, they were happy to make a change due to my current health requirements, without any fuss.
Highly recommend spending an afternoon or evening here, whether for a special occasion or just catching up with friends.
In very few words, other than the amazing location and decor, The Pantry offer some.amazing food, service and coffee.
The Salmon, as suggested by the chef, was cookies medium rare and taste beautiful. The Beer Burger was out of this world. And the ice coffee, superb
Price is just right for the quality and service....And the whole experience.
Vegans will have enough to choice from.

We ended our lovely adventure at the Northern Beaches by having an early dinner at The Pantry Manly. It’s a lovely venue situated right on the beach at Many. They say they have the best view in Manly and it’s hard to disagree. Sitting in seats facing the amazing ocean view we sipped on one of our favourite summer drinks, Aperol Spritz. It’s such a colourful, refreshing and great tasting beverage. It’s Summer in a glass.
My new fav restaurant in Manly, all the dishes were delicious and well portioned. You can also see Manly beach from the restaurant. Pictured are spanner crab & king prawn spaghettini, herb crusted rack of lamb, confit pork belly, scallop ceviche & tuna tataki. Will be back for sure!
Actual rating: 3.5/5
Busy cafe on a weekend, they kindly accommodated for our group by squeezing in extra seats.
I ordered the wild mushroom and gruyere tart which was yummy and a good portion for light breakfast.
Prices are expected for the location (the cafe is on the beach front).
Service,however, was extremely slow. We were later told that a few of the dishes we ordered had to be made fresh to order and hence the wait, however they forgot to mention this at the time of ordering.
This place is a favourite for my wife and me, the head CHef John and his team are so talented.
The location is right on Manly Beach, Beachside, not street side.
The BBQ Brisket Burger and all their tapas are amazing but the Foie Gras Pate take the crown.
Match all the above with a few beers, that view and you are good to go.
Not only does The Pantry boast an amazing location and uninterrupted view over Manly Beach, the food and service are equally amazing!
There is a variety on the menu and I would suggest ordering a variety and sharing. The stand out dishes were the scallops and the chilli and garlic prawns. Great flavour and we definitely wanted more.
The salt and pepper calamari was okay. The barramundi was delicate.
I would be keen to go again and try more of the dishes. It was impressive.
The restaurant isn’t too big or crowded. It has a Beachy vibe. Staff are really friendly, too.
Very friendly service and perfect location. I had the chicken salad with caramelised garlic bread (must try!) and the manly mule cocktail. It was all very delicious! It is a little on the expensive side but you pay for what you get. This was my second time here and I can’t wait to come back!
Beautiful view, good service, and really nice modern Australian dining! Our family was really glad that we found this place and had lunch there. The duck was really nice, croquette and scallop salad too. Good selection of wines.
The Pantry has definitely been on my foodie list for a while so when friends from out of town were visiting, I knew exactly where to take them! The view from inside was amazing - the stretch of beach from above is nothing like any other. The food was decent modern Australian cuisine, although I ordered a salad which was delicious, I would recommend the burger for the price and taste. Overall you can't go wrong with The Pantry!!!!

A cafe/restaurant with Ocean views ain’t nobody complaining about that especially in the lovely manly.
I’ve visited a few times now and as good as the fruit platter looks (for you Instagram lovers) the French toast or Benedict is my clear winner when it comes to breakfast! Nice big portions taste bloody brilliant. Would love to see more or a twist on the classic food items but I guess the menu works well for them currently.
Coffee is a bit of a hit and miss here but at the end of the day it’s not your usual place to stop for a daily coffee. It more of a nice brunch/ lunch spot to enjoy a good meal with a drink and of course the view!
All in all it's a good little place to stop by for a brunch when next in Manly.
