Felons Seafood
Native-accented seafood and harbour sunsets from the Felons team at the wharf.
The local take
Felons Seafood is the dining room of Felons Brewing Co.'s takeover of Manly Wharf: a big, bright space of around 300 seats indoors and out, built around a central 360-degree bar, with a terrace that catches the sunset over the harbour. It's the sit-down sibling of the Felons beer hall next door rather than a takeaway counter.
The kitchen is led by Luke Bourke, a Palawa chef who came from Rockpool, and his menu brings native Australian ingredients into seafood classics: oysters with native kelp vinegar, lemongrass pipis, a native-infused take on fish and chips, and an abalone schnitzel sandwich with salted chilli mayo. A chilled platter of king prawns, Sydney rock oysters and tuna tartare is the order for a group, and old-school standards like a prawn cocktail are there for traditionalists.
The drinks are part of the pitch. Felons' Super Cold Crisp Lager is poured at minus two degrees, and the house martini is a salt and vinegar one. Book a terrace table for late afternoon and time your exit for the ferry.
