Top Best American Restaurants in Manly

"Direct from New York City (and the only restaurant outside of the Big Apple we might add) Momofuku Seiobo is a two-hatted restaurant serving up diverse and seasonal Australian produce. The tasting menu changes frequently and gives you a delicious and extensive culinary experience from the inventive executive chef, Paul Carmichael. Seiobo is the Japanese goddess of the west, an appropriate namesake for the most heavenly of all the fun places to eat in Sydney."

"Located just off of Darling Harbour, this sleek, modern restaurant serves fresh seafood and Japanese-fusion fare, featuring such items as seared abalone with Jerusalem artichokes and sunflower seeds. Momofuku Seiobo boasts an extensive wine list and is located in the city’s trendy industrial district. Reservations are recommended."

"Few barbecue restaurants in Sydney have got the Southern experience down like Surly’s does. Their workhorse Ole Hickory pit smoker—a classic commercial grill hailing from Missouri—pumps out a steady stream of some of the most authentic American BBQ soul food in Sydney Friday to Sunday. While the beer list presents plenty of local options to accompany your barbecue supper, there’s also a definite nod to American dive bar classics like Pabst Blue Ribbon, Coors, and Budweiser."

"What's more American than smoked brisket, burgers and mac 'n' cheese?. The answer would be Surly's Mac 'n' cheese BBQ brisket burger!. Must try:The Handsome Mike burger may be something else, but so are their chilli cheese fries."

"What makes it special: Step back in time into a Pin Up’s paradise and meet Doughbox Diner’s very own Diner Doll. Come to Doughbox Diner to fulfil your childhood dream of traveling to America just for an authentic diner experience, on steroids!. Usually at diners such as this, you would get burgers and fries."

"While some places go for a modern approach, others love to simply capture an era gone by. Doughbox Diner is your go-to if you need to indulge in authentic 60s America, all the way down to the tables. They’re also famous for their handheld crepe cones, but we drool for their banana splits!"

"No matter how far you stroll down the beckoning path of American cuisine, you’ll always end up finding burgers. The Hub House Diner redefines them so beautifully that it’s impossible to ignore them. But the menu is not just about burgers, they even do chicken wings, Mexican corn, and specially designed loaded fries."

"Their plating isn't boring either, order the popcorn chicken and find it in a jar with real bits of popcorn!. Must try:The House Plank platter also has it all. Southern fried chicken wings, pork ribs, corn and zucchini fritters."

"Here is THE place to celebrate all things American, especially the good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll side. Not only will you be treated to a wonderful mix of US dishes and drinks, but they boast a wonderful view of bustling Darling Harbour. They’ve even got a Rock Shop for you to shop in after your hearty meal."

"But fear not meat eaters, Bridge Street Garage has meat slapped all over their American-style menu from reuben sandwiches all the way to fried chicken buckets. Must try: Bridge street makes a mean pulled pork burger."

"Tucked away in the inner-city suburb of Glebe, on the banks of Blackwattle Bay, this Sydney seafood institution is a must-visit. Panoramic views sweeping across the Anzac Bridge to the Sydney fish market are worth the visit alone, but combined with executive chef Colin Barker’s seasonal menu and long-time favourites such as the snapper pie, The Boathouse is one for the bucket list. 123 Ferry Rd, Glebe, boathouse.net.au"

"This is the go-to place for chemist-enthusiasts who relish the sweet treat of watching your ice cream created from scratch with liquid nitrogen. Watching the servers mix up beakers of goodness over the counter never fails to amaze me every single time. I never thought it possible to have ice cream with flavours like Deconstructed Apple Strudel or Jam Donut, much less have it taste good!"

"NICE 😋 • • • • • #lifesatreat #celebrate #icecream #icecreams... Come and relax at Royal Copenhagen which is situated on Bay Street. The interior of this restaurant is well decorated with beautiful bright walls and an upmarket cozy atmosphere."

"As part of the NSW Government's Everyone Can Play Program, this inclusive play space located along Southern Sydney's Georges River is one of the biggest we've ever seen!. Oatley Park Adventure Playground is a nature-lovers dream utilising the natural landscape of the park's bushland setting and adding equipment constructed predominantly from natural materials. At Oatley Playground, there are plenty of trees to provide shady spots and loads of fun features to keep active kids busy."

"The Oatley Park Inclusive Adventure Playground is an adventure playground designed to blend into its bush setting, incorporating nature-based play elements and built with predominantly natural materials. The park features seperate play zones with a toddler play area, a flying fox with river views, an active play zone, giant tube slides and a teen zone. This has to be one of the best natural playgrounds in Sydney."

"Oatley Park is a 45-hectare bushland reserve on the northern side of the Georges River. It is bounded by the Georges River, Lime Kiln Bay, and Jew Fish Bay. Oatley Park features an inclusive adventure playground, a netted swimming bath, short, easy bush walking tracks, picnic areas and other free amenities for the local community to enjoy."

"A great spot to take kids in summer, Putney Park features climbing equipment for kids of all ages plus two shallow pools connected by a pebble creek and a large climbing web. Read more about Putney Park here."

"It was only a year ago that I worked across from Putney Park and marvelled at its ability to evoke peels of laughter from children all day every day that would carry across Parramatta River."
