Queen Chow Manly, 22-23 East Esplanade, Manly NSW, Australia
Restaurant
•Sitting right on the water at Manly wharf, Queen Chow Manly rivals the best neighbourhood Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong. The setting is elegant, yet relaxed, and you’ll feel immediately at home. Simple, well-executed dishes are the backbone of the menu. Showcasing the finest produce around, the extensive selection includes roast duck, Peking beef, sweet ‘n’ sour pork and Australia’s best seafood. Oh, and salt ‘n’ pepper everything As a special touch for Manly – the quintessential Australian beach location – we have included dishes that pay tribute to the local Chinese/Australian restaurants of the past. And, of course, the delicious dim sum from dumpling maestro Eric Koh is not to be missed..
A Cantonese restaurant on Manly wharf that combines the best of Hong Kong with a touch of nostalgia – think honey king prawns and deep-fried ice cream. Planning an event with a bigger group? We’re happy to accommodate large groups up to 20...
We had a really lovely lunch there one Saturday. All the things that I worried about, which have been previously difficult, like car parking and easy access, worked out like a dream. The staff were wonderful and attentive. The food was fabulous and dining with a lovely view. The modeled the banquet and its beautiful but very filling. They let us take the left over food home which was great of them.
I recently dined at this restaurant and had a mixed experience that I feel compelled to share. Firstly, the setting was delightful, boasting a captivating ocean view and a charming ambiance. The staff were friendly and accommodating, although initially, we were not seated at a table with a view. However, they promptly rectified this once the table became available. I thoroughly enjoyed my cocktail, the Bloom, which was expertly crafted and delicious. However, the lack of vegetarian options for my pescatarian friend was disappointing. Despite this setback, the staff tried to accommodate our dietary needs by substituting pork with eggplant and chicken with mushroom in the banquet menu. Unfortunately, the dessert served did not meet expectations. Although the menu promised deep-fried ice cream with butterscotch, we received something entirely different. Despite assurances from one staff member that the fried ice cream would be brought later, we were later informed that the kitchen was closed, leaving us disappointed and feeling misled. Overall, while the experience had its ups and downs, the restaurant's decor was appealing. However, the food failed to leave a lasting impression, falling short of the high expectations set by the stunning setting and attentive staff.
Delicious food with lovely Manly wharf views. Menu is diverse enough for everyone to enjoy something but not confusing or overwhelming in any way. We love having the soy & burrata with bread, and the caramelised eggplant is one of the best we’ve had. Mango pancakes were good although Manly has many great dessert options so I would personally skip dessert here next time.
Definitely pricey but a great fusion of Western and Cantonese cuisine. The market prices for most of the seafood was absurd and it forces you to choose the banquet style meals. We were left pretty full and satisfied with the value of the $124 queens banquet. The buratta and Youtiao (dough fritters) was a weird combination that worked incredibly well. Most of the items were small amounts but very good quality and left us pretty happy. There was definitely a Western twist on a lot of Chinese classics but it was typically done well and didn't take away from the dish.
The restaurant has a stylish and modern interior, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the harbor. The dining room is large and airy, with a mix of tables and booths. The staff at Queen Chow Manly are friendly and attentive. They are happy to offer recommendations and help you choose the perfect dishes for your meal. Overall, Queen Chow Manly is a great restaurant for a special occasion or a casual meal with friends. The food is excellent, the service is attentive, and the views are stunning.
