EATING

Sandy Manly has dozens of fairly average eateries with a couple of starlets in their midst. Local surf-hippies guar-
antee a sprinkling of organic and vegetarian options, too.

BAREFOOT COFFEE TRADERS $

( 0412 328 810; www.barefootcoffee.com.au ; 18a Whistler St; items $3-6; breakfast & lunch; Manly)
Run by surfer lads serving fair-trade organic coffee from a bathroom-sized shop, Barefoot
heralds a new wave of Manly cool. Food is limited but the Belgian chocolate waffles go
magically well with macchiato. Opposite the wharf, there's a second cafe (40 East Esplanade;
breakfast & lunch) , which works symbiotically with its neighbour Adriano Zumbo OFFLINE

grab some sublime patisserie and devour it over a coffee.

CAFE

BELGRAVE CARTEL$
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
(6 Belgrave St; mains $5-13; breakfast & lunch daily, dinner Thu; Manly) Little Cartel may be grungy
but it's nowhere as sinister as it sounds; the only drug being peddled here is pure, unadul-
terated caffeine. 'Mismatched everything' seems to be the design brief and the food is re-
stricted to the likes of paninis and toasted sandwiches (called jaffles in these parts), but it's
certainly tasty and served with a smile.

CAFE

HUGOS MANLY$$ ITALIAN

OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
( 8116 8555; www.hugos.com.au ; Manly Wharf; pizzas $20-28, mains $32-38; lunch & dinner; Manly)
Occupying an altogether more glamorous location than its Kings Cross parent, Hugos
Manly serves the same acclaimed pizzas but tops them with harbour views. A dedicated
crew concocts cocktails, or just slide in for a cold beer.

CHAT THAI$
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
( 9976 2939; www.chatthai.com.au ; Manly Wharf; mains $10-19; lunch & dinner; Manly) Set inside
Manly Wharf, this branch of the Thaitown favourite ( CLICK HERE ) misses out on the harbour
views but delivers on flavour.
