In the heart of Manly, Whangaparāoa, Manly Bar & Grill has built its identity around flame-grilled favourites and fresh coastal plates. The kitchen's philosophy is simple: great food doesn't need to be complicated, it just needs to be done right — quality ingredients, bold flavour, and dishes built for sharing.
From garlic ciabatta and wood-fired bread and dips to starters like Salt & Pepper Squid with tartare sauce and Chilli Caramel Pork Belly with Asian herb apple slaw, the menu opens with a strong lineup of shareable plates. Crispy Fried Chicken with homemade devil sauce and beer-battered Wasabi Tiger Prawns round out the starter selection, setting the tone for a menu that leans into bold, honest flavour.

For something different, Duck Tacos bring pulled duck together with plum hoisin, coleslaw, sour cream and dried shallots, and the BBQ Pork Ribs are finished with a house-spiced barbecue sauce, pineapple and mash.
