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.

    Staff were helpful and let me bring my little dog there. They even brought him a bowl of water! Food was lovely, service great and good value. The only thing is I didn’t realise you had to order sides like chips to come with the meal. But I asked for some chips and they brought them straight away. I will definitely go back again 😀 Thank you

    What a wonderful culinary experience. We started with a bottle of the Tyrells Doyles Semillion. Later ordering the hot and cold seafood platter for two. A great selection of seafood that we are afraid to say we could not finish however walked away satiated. The service from our waitress Rosie was impeccable as was our view of the ocean lapping the shore. What an amazing way to spend the day.
