My family and I, and my partner have gone to Cafe Brisa numerous times now and have a consistently good time.

The food is very nice. I recommend the Fish and Chips, the Grilled Scampi and the potato wedges. My grandparents (who eat out frequently) love the Rainbow trout, my mum loves the steak and I love the Grilled Barramundi. Everyone leaves satisfied. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Sticky date pudding. The family who own the business take time with their regulars and are lovely to chat with.

Great little restaurant on the corner with a nice little view of the ocean. Mirrors make it easy to see the water no mater where you are sitting in the restaurant. The service was very friendly, prompt. Food came out quickly and the seafood tasted very fresh. Our meal choices were BBQ King Prawns, Grilled Scampi for entree's and Seafood Platter and Barramundi for mains. Nice place for a nice meal.

Family and I went to Brisa last thursday night. We loved the service, the food was great and affordable and tasty childrens menu and decent sizing. Nothing worse than paying a lot for a little. Nice relaxed atmosphere compared to the large, obnoxiously loud restaurants around the corner.

Finally, a quality seafood place in Manly that genuine cares about it's customers and has attentive service. Food is top notch, amongst the best in Manly. Will do again.

The Scampi was divine - had to make sure I left nothing for the cat. A tiny little bit more meat on them would have been better but I suppose it's okay for an entree.

I often dine alone and like to enjoy the atmosphere of a place along with a glass of wine. Brisa felt cosy, comfortable, and laid back. Fortunately this did not correlate with the delicious food which was packed with flavour and excellent portions for the mains.

I quite enjoyed this place - away from the rush of the crowd and overpriced items for the commercial 'big' restaurants. It's a great find, will be back for sure.

This little treat is tucked away in the corner pocket of Manly's beach front restaurants and it has again confirmed my theory of not to fall for 'the big and popular' restaurants, this place clearly retains it's customers from serving quality food and quantitative portions. Nothing worse than paying $30 for a small, stale meal. You'll get a tasty, generous portion packed with flavour to the brim at this place.

The service, being a small and bustling little place, is intimately friendly and it's nice to encounter staff that atually care and go those extra miles to make sure you're taken care of. Ice water was immediately supplied to us without us having to ask, poured and replenished automatically. It's these small things that add up and show that the staff genuinely care.

Ambience, live music! A young man and an acoustic guitar did wonders for the place. Nothing overtly loud, just soft and in the background, a perfect balance between enjoyin the music and still being able to talk to your acquaintances... I highly recommend this place.

Awesome little restaurant on the corner. Nice beach view and delicious food, highlights were the Scotch Fillet with garlic prawns and the Cajun Tuna Steak. Will be back!

We went here early last Friday evening ,and am sorry we chose this restaurant it was so ordinary. To start- The waitress poured my piccolo of sparkling wine at the table and spilt quite a bit on the floor ,no apology ,no offer for a new drink just given what was left ,and no attempt to clean the floor.
Food - seafood chowder fresh but tasteless ,on the menu it said a choice between plain of garlic bread ,we did not get a choice just plain which although it looked fresh had flecks of green stuff as though mouldy the waitress showed us the loaf so obviously a dirty knife had been used, once again no apology nothing ,also my husband ordered the salmon which came with spring rolls (very unusual) they should not have bothered they where just from the supermarket freezer and looked hilarious. Service- see above. Value overcharged for a poor experience and meals where basic

It was a nice day so the whole family decided to come down to Manly for some lunch. Brisa was our pick and we were glad of it. Food was great with a definitely affordable lunch menu and portions were good for lunch. Service was fast despite the restaurant being full. Will be back.
