Cafe La Mer

Manly

Directly overlooking East Coast Marina at Manly Harbour, Cafe La Mer's al fresco deck offers a true waterfront dining experience for breakfast, morning tea or lunch.

Here diners can sit beneath a shady, sprawling fig tree, providing the ideal vantage point to watch the activity of the marina.

Fresh, seasonal, local ingredients are the main focus at this seaside cafe, with breakfast highlights including sand crab omelette, salmon cakes, Greek style scrambled eggs, corn fritters, and the Aussie big brekky.

Cafe La Mer's lunch menu features seafood fresh off the boats (crumbed Bay-caught whiting) as well as salads (prawn & avocado, grilled octopus, anti-oxidant power salad), home made quiches, frittatas, , burgers, pastas and risottos (seafood, chicken or roast pumpkin). And for drinks there's Belaroma coffee, organic loose leaf teas, juices, smoothies and shakes, as well as a tempting range of home made cakes, slices and biscuits.

In a nutshell - This is a delightful harbourside cafe serving breakfast, morning tea and lunch which offers the ideal vantage point to watch all the activity at the marina.

Need to know - Car park is located onsite at East Coast Marina.
