Purely Passion is quite a distinctive name don't you think? I came across here recently and it is…read moresuch a great find. You can't see them from the street, you have to venture inside Manly Harbour Village but it is worthwhile. Purely Passion is a small cafe that as a great focus on quality. Don't go expecting a large range of things to buy but do go if you are looking for a high standard. I got a take away cappuccino last weekend. We had to wait a small amount of time before someone emerged from out the back but after that the service was friendly and fast. The coffee was creamy and came with a double shot. Nice! While I was waiting, I got the chance to browse the other bits and pieces for sale. They have a small range of speciality ingredients like spices, oil and mustard. There is also a few desserts including a lemon meringue that looked particularly tempting and beautifully presented.

I am nearly a fan of Purely Passion; I've browsed a couple of times but am yet to really dive in…read more One reason for this was the queue for deli goods and coffee both times I tried to get in the door, so I think that's a really good indicator when this tiny shop is surrounded by coffee places. There are gorgeous looking homemade cakes and you can order bread the way you like it. There's a good range of natural products too, and I suspect the sincere creative looking chef-fy types behind the counter were displaying something close to passion for their work as they served the fortunate ones in front of me. It looks great and I'll be back.

Searching for a new breakfast haunt in Manly we came across Keith's, and with such a great view it…read morewas the perfect choice for a lovely Saturday morning. We only needed a quick look at the menu as we couldn't go past the Lamb Breakfast - two lamb cutlets, poached eggs, grilled halloumi, rocket and parmesan. All I can say is wow. The lamb was perfectly cooked, the poached eggs deliciously oozy, the halloumi nice and thin and not squeaky, and the rocket was impeccably dressed with shavings of parmesan and red onion to top everything off. I would definitely recommend this dish for breakfast or brunch. We've already booked in for lunch next weekend so I'm hoping their seafood offerings are on par with the lamb.

I have been here once so far but it was a really enjoyable experience and I would go back for sure…read more The place itself is warm and inviting. The front of the restaurant has great harbour views while the back has beautiful lighting, cosy red chairs and impressive gold mirrors. It is a great place to go if you are looking for a quality meal, rather than takeaway chips like I normally do. They do not have a huge menu, something I actually like because it usually means they do the few items really well rather than a huge number of things to an average standard. Mains include salmon, risotto, chicken and sirloin steak. I tried the risotto and it was lovely, not dry or bland at all.

Saw some customers not happy with the service but if choosing between maccas and here im all good for waiting. Coffee was great. Long black could do with more crema but overall great.

Oliver's @ Manly is a classy little restaurant right near the Manly Marina. I have only been here…read moreonce and I have to say, I am not sure I would back. Don't get me wrong, the food was good although a bit over priced and the location fantastic, although you can't really see the water because of the trees. But on the plus side, the golden syrup pudding is to die for and the cocktails are a high light. The outdoor seating area on the second level is quite comfortable and cosy and gets a nice cool breeze off the water. Still, I am not quite sure what it is but something didn't quite 'pop' for me. Nice meals, great desserts but perhaps not enough to become a regular.

It's our go-to food store every time for an easy roast dinner, or a picnic or a night in. Can't beat a meal from Pierre's. Service is great and always a fun chat.

She always has a chat and so it becomes clear as you work your way through a conversation spattered with 'darlings' that she is the talented creator of much of the yummy food on display. Apart form roast and country fried chicken, chips and gravy, there are also roast vegetables, peas and pumpkin etc., but the food in the deli-style counter is what first attracted me to the place. there you'll find homemade zucchine slice, quiche, chickpea and sweet potato slad, caesar salad in a taco shell style crispy basket, luscious sandwiches and rolls, pastas and more. Prices are good and I've always found the food to be wonderfully fresh. Worth a look if you're cruising through Wynnum on your way to the bay for a picnic, as it makes a great change from the fish and chips served up along the Esplanade.
