Located on the stunning rooftop of Manly Wharf, Saké Manly combines a mellow beach-side vibe and casually chic dining experience from a sleek, 300-seat, Luchetti Krelle-designed space with expansive views of Manly Cove.
Floor-to-ceiling, bi-fold windows and doors open to a spectacular alfresco terrace and give diners inside and out breathtaking ocean views. Inside, the restaurant falls into several defined spaces, including a light-flooded dining room, an open kitchen featuring a sushi bar and counter seating and an informal bar area.
In addition, a succession of four private dining rooms, each seating six guests, are divided from each other by identical moon gates – traditional circular openings found in Japanese architecture – with timber dowel sliding screens that can be closed to section off each room or raised to join pairs of rooms and create larger spaces. A larger private dining room seats up to 18 guests.
Indulge in Saké classic dishes, such as melt-in-the-mouth, miso-glazed Glacier 51 Toothfish; spectacular Hiramasa kingfish with lime and jalapeno kosho; heavenly, fragrant prawn shumai; and the perennial favourite, light tempura-coated popcorn shrimp. Sushi rolls bear Saké’s signature, super-fusion stamp while nigiri and sashimi are skilfully prepared, intricately garnished and artfully served. Sit at the sushi counter and watch sushi masters at work, and the carefully curated, individually tailored Omakase dining experience unfold.
