Cafe La Mer - Manly, Queensland

Fabulous location. If you can go during the week as it isn't as hectic.
Set right on the water, if you want to sit there or there are tables inside.
Food choices were many with a Greek theme , making it hard to decide 😁 I opted for the haloumi stack. Flavours were great and it was a good portion.
There is plenty of parking in the marina carport during the week.
Well worth the visit 🍽

We (a group of seven) sat on the deck, under the tree, overlooking the marina; such a beautiful location and ambience.
I had the salt and pepper calamari with delicious chips and a lovely salad. The meal was enormous, and good value for money.
The staff were all very professional and friendly, and more than happy to help.
I am looking forward to going back very soon 😁

What a great spot under the canopy of the beautiful tree. Food was great, service was good, fantastic view. No negatives apart from quite windy, thanks mother nature! 😊

Lovely hidden oasis, free parking during the week but not available on the weekends. Perfect on the deck under the tree on beautiful sunny days with Marina views. Only went for morning tea but their menu looks great and impressive when we saw meals come out so will have to come back.

Great views of harbour. Very breezy on the deck. Food well cooked and nicely presented. A bit overpriced although I guess you pay for locality. Meals are quite large, would be nice if small plates were available for reduced cost. I did get takeaway container. This would avoid a lot of wastage. Unfortunately meals were not delivered at the same time and the only service was meals delivered to table. Staff pleasant.

Had a couple of breakfasts here during the week I undertook a Sailing Course at the Wynnum-Manly Marina. The first was inside the café, the second in their spectacular outdoor seating area overlooking the marina. Fabulous menu, great service from friendly staff. I will be back there next time I am in the area.

Love the gorgeous old Ficus tree on the deck at the back of the cafe. It overlooks the river and you have a picturesque view of all the sailing boats that come in and out of the harbour. There is always a lovely breeze but it can get very chilly, even in Summer. The cafe thoughtfully provides warm fleece blankets for their guests to use. While their breakfast and lunch menus don't vary much, the food is always fresh, beautifully prepared, quite filling and we have never been disappointed. Even though the cafe is always busy, the service is quite quick and we have always been able to find seating on the deck. Staff are friendly and efficient. This is a hidden gem in Brisbane which we love bringing our overseas guests to.

The perfect little escape!☕🌿 This charming café is an absolute gem with its stunning views —ideal for a relaxing break! Just a heads-up: it can get quite breezy, so don’t forget a light jacket and a hat to stay cozy while you soak in the scenery.

Ordering is easy—just grab your food at the counter, pick a seat, and they’ll bring your meal to you. And wow, the portions are huge! 🍽️ You definitely get great value. But save room for dessert—their coffee and sweets are a must-try (so delicious, you’ll want seconds!).

Highly recommend for a peaceful, satisfying treat—you’ll leave happy and full!😊💛
