Alice Dumpling Bar

Handmade dumplings a flight of stairs above North Steyne.

The local take

Alice Dumpling Bar folds and steams above the North Steyne strip, mixing Chinese dumpling craft with Japanese touches at upper-middle prices. A 4.2 from travellers, and the beachfront position means you can watch the surf while the baskets land.

Dumplings after a swim is an underrated Manly format — shareable, fast, and exactly salty enough. The upstairs room also makes it a smart wet-weather fallback when the promenade cafés are all elbows.
