Jellyfish - Manly (NSW)

Food: I ordered the lime sriracha chicken with risotto, my fiancé had the ricotta mushrooms with quinoa, and my sister ordered the linguine. All dishes were beautifully presented. My chicken was flavorful, although a bit dry (which can be difficult to avoid with breast meat), but the sriracha sauce was well balanced. The risotto was a little bland, but it was cooked perfectly and not grainy or undercooked, which was nice. My fiancé enjoyed her mushrooms and ricotta, and my sister described the linguine as "fresh and delicious." Value: The prices were a bit on the expensive side (we were in Manly overlooking the beach, after all), but still under $30 for each meal was reasonable. If the risotto had been better, I would have considered my meal to be good value, but overall the mushrooms were well priced. The linguine cost $26, which was a bit pricey for pasta in my opinion, but it was a seafood marinara dish and the seafood was fresh. Service: The staff was very friendly and attentive, and they handled our group well despite it being a busy Friday night. I appreciated not being rushed to place our order within 5 minutes of sitting down. Plus, it's BYOW (bring your own wine), which was a bonus. Overall, it was a fantastic meal in a great atmosphere. There were even a couple of cute dogs at the table next to us, so it's nice to know that it's a pet-friendly place in Manly!

Excellent spot, right across the road from Manly Beach.I had eggs benedict, with bacon, which was tops. Bacon slightly over cooked, and a 2nd piece of toast would have been nice, however I'm nitpicking.Well worth a try, if you're ever in Manly.

Opposite Manly beach at the northern end of the Steyne is the very popular Jellyfish café. Sit inside or out and enjoy the added benefit of beach views and salty, sea air. Whether you come for just a coffee or a meal, Jellyfish is open from 7am – 11pm! If you come for a weekend breakfast be prepared for a short wait as you compete for a seat with the many bike riders, surfers, gym junkies, locals and tourists. Go for a light croissant, a muffin, an acai bowl, creamy vanilla porridge or a fresh fruit platter. If you need something more substantial Italian scrambled eggs or the Breakfast plate complete with smoked salmon, asparagus, semi dried tomatoes, feta, avocado, poached eggs, dukkah w soy linseed toast should hit the spot. If you want to go all out just dive into the Big Brekkie w bacon, eggs, sausages, tomato, mushrooms, hash browns and toast! The menu changes for lunch and dinner but I can definitely recommend the angel hair pasta w blue swimmer crab, prawns, chilli in a garlic lobster broth! A firm family favourite!

Super impressed! The location and view. The level of service and friendly disposition. The quality of food and portion size. Would happily recommend the acai bowl as a fave of mine.

This is easily my favourite place in Manly.  It's great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and anything in between.  The food is great as is the coffee.  It can get very busy though, especially on a nice sunny day.  The service is always swift though, so it's rare you'll wait long.
