Forage Sydney
Manly caterer for private dinners and events, by arrangement.
The local take
Forage began as Manly's "secret closed-door restaurant": occasional themed dinners with seasonal menus built on organic and free-range produce, hosted like a private dinner party. That's where its very high traveller rating comes from.
Today Forage Sydney is a boutique catering business, based in Manly and run by Michelle. It does private dining in your home or venue, drop-off catering, grazing tables and children's parties. Each menu is written for the event, and ingredients are sourced locally. Clients praise the attention to detail and the organisation as much as the food.
There's no dining room you can walk into, so it isn't an option for a spontaneous dinner. If you're planning a celebration in a Manly holiday house, though, or want a private-chef dinner without leaving the beach, contact Forage through its website or by phone to talk about dates and menus.

Ratings and review counts are from TripAdvisor. Hours come from the venue's own website where it publishes them, otherwise from its listings, and were last reviewed in October 2026. They shift with seasons and public holidays, so call ahead for a big night. Spotted something out of date? Let us know.
