Pier 88

Perched on the scenic sweep of William Gunn Jetty, Pier 88 brings Manly’s waterfront to the table with every sunrise and sunset. From the first coffee as the bay yawns awake to that golden-hour glow when the tide turns languid, it is a place where Moreton Bay views do more than decorate the scene — they set the rhythm.

The kitchen leans into seasonal, locally sourced produce, letting freshness lead and coastal sensibilities shine. Plates are clean, bright and produce-driven, the kind of food that feels at home by the water — unfussy yet considered, with an eye for balance and texture. From daybreak bites to twilight feasts, the offering shifts naturally with the light, inviting leisurely grazing as sea breezes roll in.

To start fresh oysters and spicy beef tartare. Choose dishes like Shio Koji marinated chicken, with pickled green grapes, smoked hazelnuts, and kale brown butter jus or crispy skin barramundi, with slow cooked fennel, pea and tarragon sauce.

Set your course for Pier 88 - come for the view, stay for the flavour, and let the waterfront work its magic. Make a plan, bring good company, and follow the call of the tide.
