Whitewater

Whitewater restaurant’s fresh, imaginative style showcases Manly at its very best, with its mouth-watering menus, elegantly relaxed ambience and superb location next to the Manly foreshore on South Steyne.

Making waves since its arrival on the Sydney restaurant scene late 2004, Whitewater restaurant has been a hit with Sydneysiders looking for that extra special seaside experience. The perfect end to a day or evening on the water, catch the Manly ferry across the sublime Sydney Harbour, take a short promenade along the renowned Manly Beach, then sit back and enjoy Whitewater’s chic beach house atmosphere with a glass of wine, an exquisitely prepared meal, and great company.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Whitewater’s seasonal and flavoursome mod oz menu and extensive wine list will not disappoint. The perfect place for an extended weekend breakfast, relax with a steaming long black and Whitewater's signature Asian inspired breakfast dish – wok fried eggs with steamed rice, sweet soy, sesame oil, chilli, herbs, and crispy shallots. Also on the menu is omelette with wilted spinach, roast tomato, mushrooms and woodside goats cheese; buttermilk pancakes with berries, maple syrup and vanilla icecream; and Whitewater's own muesli with fresh fruit salad, natural yoghurt and milk.

For those wanting a quick lunch on the run, Whitewater’s lunch menu is set to inspire delight. Choose from a wide selection of dishes that includes asparagus, tomato and onion tart with woodside goats curd and tomato salad; beetroot cured salmon with potato pikelets and horseradish dressing; pan roast barramundi, rocket and potato puree, sautéed mushrooms, parsnips and truffle butter; 1/2 or whole tasmanian lobster thermidore with broccolini and kipfler potatoes and chargrilled sirloin steak with handcut chips, béarnaise or red wine mushroom sauce.

With dinner, Whitewater comes into its own. Step in from a brisk stroll by the water and prepare to watch the world go by from the comfort of your seaside table with rare kangaroo loin, apple riesling jelly, lavender cress salad and light garlic cream or grain fed lamp rumpl cooked 'sous vide'served with braised lentils and pancetta, baby carrots and gremolata. Or, humpty doo barramundi with rocket and potato puree, sauteed seasonal mushrooms and parsnip and truffle butter.

Can’t decide what to choose? Then Whitewater’s succulent tasting menu may be the order of the day. Including five of Whitewater’s most popular dishes – hiramasa kingfish-tartare and sashimi with roast capsicum, capers, parsley, lemon oil and avruga caviar; seared sesame scallops, salad of asparagus, sweet corn and soy beans with black bean dressing and pickled ginger creme; petuna salmon in fine pastry, braise of fennel and leek with a pernod ragout of vongole and cuttlefish; crispy slow cooked pork belly with barbeque prawns, pineapple, sweet soy and chilli dressing; slow roast grain fed beef fillet with spinach, crumbed bone marrow and sauce bordelaise and a mixed leaf and herb salad with champagne vinaigrette , and a divine dessert tasting plate and is available with or without matching wines.

    The service is amazing and the white crisp tablecloths and serviettes make the restaurant sepcial. The view is relaxing calming and feels like you are a world away from everyday life. The food is cooked to your liking and they are willing to always cater for pregnancy, diets and allergies. Its a calm not noisy atmosphere and although we dont go there as oftern as i would like, i would still not hesitate to go back for a special occasion or romantic meal, as i wouldnt be disapointed.

    Whitewater is a really special place to go not just cause the food is so yummy but because the whole ambience of the place makes you feel calm, relaxed and happy. My hubby and I go there (when we can get a babysitter for the kids!) whenever it is our birthdays.

    I'm not usually a seafood lover, but the fish was outstanding. Great cocktails, lovely food. I'd even go back.

    The atmosphere was truly amazing but relaxing at the same time. The price was expensive but it was worth it. The food arrives quickly, but not to quickly. And the food will blow you away.

    Flawless service & cocktails which light up your taste buds. Your eyes eat and your mouth simply helps- the decor is fresh and modern and ambiance can only be described as intimate. The cuisine is consistently excellent with your senses going wild and your heart aching for more. Jump on the boat to experience whitewater!
