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.

The Bower is sensational. The food is divine (especially the Green Goodness Bowl) and the view over Manly and out to the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. Beyond words. The Espresso Martini at the Bower is the best I’ve ever had. 10 stars!

Loved our first time at the Bower. The soba noodle salad was delicious and the view of water beautiful. Thanks for accomodating our booking and move indoors at short notice. Can’t wait to come again !

What a magical spot. Hidden in the backstreets of Manly East and with a view to literally kill for, this little spot is such a refreshing gem to sit and escape. I had the Bower Burger which was perfect (quite huge actually) with crispy chips and cooked to perfection. My friend had fish & chips which was the 2nd time he'd ordered that there and reported that it was absolutely delicious. The menu is small but very well done. Coffee is excellent too. We enjoyed some wines which were chilled and promptly served. The staff were mostly from the UK and were super friendly. It's such a great place to sit and watch the world go by (and a few whales & dolphins if you're lucky too). I've had breakfast here too on a few occasions and that was superb as well. They do sunset drinks over the summer period and it's well worth the visit on a nice evening.

Nice food, however there was about a 10-15 minute wait between our 2 meals coming out which wasn't great. Amazing location

I love this location It’s a great space for a restaurant. And I had been there before years ago under a different management. The team were great, although the manager/owner was yelling obscenities from his counter- more at himself I think than anyone in particular. It’s just a shame that the food was quite ‘ho-hum’. I walked away wondering if I would ever go back. Such a shame.
