There’s something special about seeing Manly make its mark on Australia’s dining scene, and the latest news is worth raising a glass to.
Stanley, the Cantonese restaurant bringing Hong Kong-inspired dining to Manly Wharf, has received Two Hats from Good Food.
Not a bad way to make an entrance.
Backed by hospitality group Artemus Group, Stanley arrived on the Manly waterfront with an ambitious vision for Chinese dining, led by acclaimed Chef Louis Tikaram.
With impressive seafood, staple Asian flavours and delicacy in every meal, the well-deserved recognition has arrived just as Stanley firmly establishes itself in its new Sydney home.

Stanley began in Brisbane at Howard Smith Wharves. The Manly opening represents the next chapter for Stanley, grounded in Cantonese cooking, Australian produce and the pleasure of bringing people together over a great meal.
At the helm is Louis Tikaram, a chef whose career has taken him from Australia’s leading restaurant kitchens to Los Angeles, where he led the kitchen at EP & LP in West Hollywood.
Inspired by travels and grounded by his roots, Stanley’s menu showcases some of the best seafood, meat, vegetables and fruit whilst drawing on traditional Cantonese flavours. It's a heavlenly menu designed to be shared, paying homage to his connection with culture, food and family.
It’s a style of dining that feels right at home on the Beaches. Good food, a table full of people and the harbour just beyond the window.

Manly Wharf has continued to evolve as a destination for dining and entertainment, and Stanley adds another dimension to the mix.
For locals, it means another ambitious restaurant to discover without heading into the city. For visitors, it’s another reason to make a day of Manly, with waterfront dining adding to everything else this part of Sydney does so well.
Birthdays, catch-ups with the girls, celebrations or treating the grandparents. Stanley caters to anyone and everyone who dares to dine.
The Two Hats recognition from Good Food is a significant achievement for the Stanley team and a welcome moment for the local hospitality scene.
We’re always here for a good local success story, especially when it gives us another excuse to explore our own backyard.
