A few to note are Pilu (a two-chefs hats restaurant a five-minute walk away), Harbord Diggers (newly developed bar with three award-winning restaurants on Curl Curl headland), and Manly Wharf (with the iconic Manly Wharf bar and three beautiful restaurants). Some of our favourite cafes and restaurants are Salt Bush, Pilu Baretto, Room Two Ten, Albert & Moore, The Stow Away, Sunset Sabi, Chica Bonita, Four Pines... the list goes on!
