The Herring Room

Best Known For

Seafood Platter for Two: oysters, seared scallops, garlic and chilli prawns, sashimi, char-grilled baby octopus and crispy whole NZ red snapper.

Good old-fashioned hospitality and a contemporary menu are at the core of The Herring Room on Pittwater Road in Manly. A whitewashed corner façade opens into a rustic dining space of recycled timber, intimate table settings and leather couches, ideal for lingering over a memorable meal; while in warm weather, take to the courtyard and chill out amongst potted greenery. Dive in with a starter of ocean trout sashimi, ponzu, tempura shiso leaves and salmon caviar, or Vietnamese-inspired beef tartare, cos, pine nuts, crispy eschallots, chilli, coriander, mint and perilla leaf. Enticing mains such as slow-cooked, braised lamb shank, red wine jus, rosemary and white polenta are sure to hit the mark, or fragrant Sri Lankan fish curry, tempura caper leaves, sunflower cress and steamed bok choy.
