BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW
In 1933 the beautiful Manly Pavilion was constructed as a dressing pavilion and refreshment facility for the once-bustling Manly Pool.
The pool showcased entertaining pontoons, slides and treadmills. It was described at the time as “the finest swimming pool in Australia”. Huge crowds flocked to the pool, boardwalk, fun-pier and pavilion attracting 250,000 visitors annually.
The tea-rooms became a popular attraction in Manly Cove serving “dainty Morning and afternoon Teas, Hot & Cold Lunches, Refreshments and Ices at Moderate Charges”.
Our ye olde afternoon tea-drinking culture heralds from the British influence of the 18th and 19th century, well before the ‘über trendy’ Café scene came to fruition. Sadly the 1960’s and 70’s led the way for the café culture and brought with it the end to tea-rooms.
However the tradition of high-tea has been reinvented and today the tea-rooms at the Manly Pavilion are once again part of our iconic Australian culture.
MORE ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Reconnecting with it's former glory as a tea-room, the Manly Pavilion is once again a glamorous and popular escape for food aficionados.
These days Manly Pavilion looks a little different. It has been reinvigorated with a fusion of old-time gallantry and grandeur integrated with a contemporary-chic elegance.
Perched right on the waters edge with a vista that simply whisks you away, the notion of relaxing sea-side, devouring the flavours of a delectable menu with a soft sea-breeze brushing past is just irresistible.
This 4-Course degustation will have you dining in sophisticated style with dishes such as Spanner Crab with sweet corn, palm hearts & coriander shoots; or Raw Hiramasa Kingfish with macadamia & finger lime dressing; or a tender serving of beef short-rib. Cleanse your taste buds with a sweet treat of ‘Amedei Chuao’ chocolate, mandarin, yoghurt and pistachio.
We think the perfect way to cap off this enchanting experience is with a glass of wine or a fabulous cocktail between your fingers, engrossed in conversation and admiring a setting sun over Sydney Harbour.
Let your cares drift away and spend the afternoon or evening with good company. The 4-course degustation at Manly Pavilion is the ideal way to wind-down and relax.
