The Bower Manly is a locally owned and operated business, with a passionate Northern Beaches based crew. We had always wanted to open a restaurant, but never imagined we’d find one in such a perfect location. Our key focus is providing good quality food using the freshest produce, and friendly staff to compliment the stunning yet relaxed setting of Cabbage Tree Bay. The menu changes on a regular basis, to reflect seasonal produce using both local and organic growers wherever possible - serving up coastal cool alfresco vibes. The Bower is a local's favourite, serving up some of the best coffee in Manly with arguably the best view of Shelly Beach. Join us for brekky, brunch, lunch or cocktails, seven days a week, or grab takeaway on your way down to the beach. We have several tables outside making it the perfect spot to take in the fresh ocean air and watch the world go by.

After having breakfast here a few times we wanted to return for dinner. Great experience! A focussed menu and every dish delivered. My chicken supreme was super tasty (loved the creamy mushroom too). The folks working there were kind and friendly (including letting us move inside n when the gentle breeze became gale force). Many thanks!

Typically, I like to go to Doyle‘s at Watsons Bay once a year it’s always fantastic and it was very simple to book a reservation on open table. I’ll be using open table more as well.

Food was amazing, genuinely one of the best meals we've had in 2024, really nice environment, just what Manly needed. We had the 'build your own banquet' option and every course was wonderful. If you go you must try the beef cheek taco, OMG!
