Chef Matt’s Favourite Northern Beaches Venues

“For fine dining, The Clareville is a personal favourite. An intimate space where every dish feels beautifully considered and plated to perfection.

For wine and atmosphere, Henry G’s Wine Parlour on The Corso is a standout, super cosy, refined, and perfect for enjoying a selection of exceptional wines.

And for relaxed, casual dining with bold, vibrant flavours, Chica Bonita in Manly delivers some of the best modern Mexican dishes on the Northern Beaches, colourful, creative, and full of energy.”
