As the cold weather sets in, sink your teeth into some comfort food.
While Queensland is known for being “sunny one day and perfect the next”, winter (the few weeks when you might put a long sleeve shirt on) is the perfect excuse to snuggle up with a mug of hot chocolate, enjoy a good book by the fireplace, and indulge in some comforting meals to warm you up from the inside out. The wind may have a sharper bite to it than usual, but Manly and the Bayside area have an abundance of local gems serving up sweet satisfaction to please all appetites.
Smoked beef fat doughnut, Davidson Plum (The Arsonist)
Yes, you read that correctly: a smoked doughnut. This decadent treat (pictured right) from newly opened The Arsonist is something to enjoy in moderation… good luck stopping at one!
Local tip: Book mid-week to secure a table at this popular new venue.
Seafood Chowder (Shucks Bar)
Juicy mussels floating in a creamy, delicate broth, served with crusty bread. The ultimate steamy soup to enjoy while looking over picturesque Moreton Bay.
Tagliatelle alla Bolognese – Lido Italia
The owner of this local favourite recreates the essence of Fontanelle di Teano in every dish, a small country village of 200 people halfway between Rome and Naples where people grow their own food and make their own wine and olive oil. Buon Appetito!
Lamb Rump, served with spiced couscous, smokey babaganoush + garlic yoghurt –
Tide on the Jetty
Nothing says winter like a perfectly cooked lamb rump. Tide on the Jetty provides a vibrant atmosphere and unbeatable water views.
While you are out and about, be sure to check out the new bud lighting instalments around the village and Little Bayside Park, and witness the magic of Manly after dark!
