We were staying in Sandy Bay and asked the hotel where’s a good place for lunch and she suggested to head down to Maning Reef Cafe for some good fish and chippies and wood fire pizza so of  course we rushed over. Located on Sandy Bay Road, there’s a great view of the bay and there’s quite a few seating indoor and out. The staff greeted you with such enthusiasm when you walk in that you can’t help but smile. Mr D got the flake because you can’t go into a fish and chip shop and not get a flake. The flake was a touch rubbery and had way too much salt on it. The chippies weren’t crunchy either and he was oh so disappointed.

Flake – $14
Two pieces battered with chips

I, on the other hand got a classic margherita and it smelt so delish. This too was super salty which was a shame.

Classic Margherita – $18
Tomato, fresh sliced tomato, sliced mozzarella & fresh basil

We were so disappointed with the eatery, we wanted to love this place but unfortunately the food wouldn’t be bringing us back any time soon.
