Forage Sydney

Degustation-level seafood dining at the wharf.

All Manly restaurants

The local take

Forage is Manly's swing at genuine fine dining: contemporary, seafood-led plates at the wharf, priced firmly in the top band and rated 4.9 by travellers — extraordinary consistency for cooking this ambitious.

This is the venue you book for the anniversary, the milestone birthday, the night you want the peninsula to show off. The ferry-in, degustation, ferry-home evening is one of Sydney's great underrated date formats: thirty scenic minutes on the harbour each way and no one has to drive.
