The Pantry Manly

Noble ! This is a little but very elegant and noble place. This looks like a container box sitting on top of public toilet right at the beachfront. The views are amazing and all the customers seemed to enjoy the foods, company and the wave- breaking views of Pacific Ocean. It felt like we were on a cruise. We had mocktails, wine, chocolate & cheese board and all were beautifully presented. Great place to come with your partner, friends or family! We shall be back soon !

Lovely beachfront restaurant with beautiful views and a great atmosphere. We booked through First Table and received 50% off our food, which made it fantastic value. The service was 10/10!! Staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The drinks were beautifully garnished, although my choice wasn’t quite to my taste. Starters were okay, but the mains were delicious. We wanted to order the veal, but it had sold out, so we went with the sirloin instead, which was very nice. The lamb pasta was excellent and would have been perfect with a little more sauce. Overall, a great dining experience in a stunning location. We’d definitely come back.

The Pantry, Manly ​If you are looking for the quintessential beachfront dining experience in Sydney, The Pantry Manly delivers exactly that. Perched right on the edge of the sand, its absolute beachfront location offers a spectacular, uninterrupted view of the ocean—making it the ultimate spot to watch the morning surf. Inside, the restaurant beautifully balances its prime location with a charming rustic interior—think weathered wood textures, warm lighting, and a relaxed, heritage. From the moment you walk in, the staff ensures you are well looked after. The service is consistently excellent: attentive, friendly, and efficient without feeling rushed. Even during the busy morning rush when locals and visitors pour in, the team manages the floor with a welcoming attitude that helps you ease into your day. ​Breakfast ​the food is undeniably good, featuring everything from perfectly poached eggs and fresh avocado to hearty, classic breakfast staples. A massive plus is the generous portion sizes—unlike many beachfront cafes that skimp on quantity, The Pantry ensures you get a genuinely satisfying, fueling start to your day. Pair it with a well-made coffee while watching the waves, and

Had breakfast at the Pantry. Staff was friendly and professional. Food however was mediocre and not the best price quality wise. We went for the eggs benedict with smoked salmon and the smashed avo with ricotta. Both dishes could’ve used some spice as the food didn’t have that much flavour. The eggs benedict were served on a toast with some boiled potatoes. The potatoes weren’t boiled through or done yet unfortunately. Chai latte had no flavour either. One of the worst I’ve had in Sydney. Could’ve used some more spices. Although the Pantry has a lovely view over the ocean (the reason we picked this place for breakfast), the overall atmosphere wasn’t 5 out of 5 as the place was pretty loud during breakfast. You’re able to talk to each other, but the noise is def out there. The food is not bad, but there’s def heaps of better places to have breakfast or lunch.

A cosy beachside restaurant serving great Australian cuisine. Came for a friend’s birthday dinner and the one thing that stood out was the staff and servers were extremely accommodating. Props to them. In terms of food: I had a slow roasted wagyu veal for entree. The caper tuna emulsion added nice flavour and the lime caramel refreshed my taste buds. Thought it was a great little meat starter. The hiramasa kingfish crudo was also decent, with great quality protein and a classically light taste. For mains, I thought the spiced spatchcock was really good. Its not 100% boneless, they leave the wings and drum bones. However it was seasoned beautifully, meat so tender and easy to break apart. The tomato coulis did make it seem like I was dipping into ketchup, but the cabbage reduced the greasiness. Side note: their thick cut chips area well fried, could even assume they are battered. Got a nice crispy outer crust and goes great with the mains.
