Blue Manna Bistro showcases a chic minimalist interior with the open kitchen a focal point of this space.  It can be quite the spectacle when the Chefs flame up the grill.  We often enjoy a meal up at the pass where you can really see the maestros at work,  appreciate the beautiful seafood that features in many of the dishes and the artful presentation.   The inside dining area merges seamlessly with the covered outdoor dining space which extends further to the decked alfresco.  On the edge of beautiful bush reserve and creek - it is certainly the most delightful setting during the spring / summer months and on those fabulous balmy nights.

Seafood Degustations,  other specialty seafood & wine paring nights,  and events like Melbourne Cup have become the most coveted tickets in town and Blue Manna Bistro is always a favoured option for a romantic dinner or special celebration.

With a menu full of sustainably and locally sourced seafood, picking your favourite item or dish will be almost impossible! From the incredible Sashimi plates; to  the delectable Shark Bay Scallop & Prawn Pot Stickers and signature Balinese Betutu Duck or Western Australian Crayfish dishes; you’ll be a devotee after the first visit.  There is a great range of beverages for perfect pairing -  and who can go past their signature Chilli Margarita?!

What inspired you to become a Chef and specialise in cooking with Seafood? 

 I have always enjoyed food and cooking. Seafood just seemed a natural progression after growing up on the beach in Far North Queensland fishing, hunting and gathering an abundance fresh seafood

What are your favourites on the current menu and why?

My favourite dishes on the menu at moment would have to be the New Season Scampi tails and the Scallop pot stickers. Both dishes are light, fresh and full of flavour. Not only do I enjoy eating them I really enjoy cooking them

Who / what has been your greatest inspiration on your cooking / restauranteur journey?

Thomas Keller, Martin Boetz, Christine Mansfeild are a few of my favourite chefs that continue to inspire me. But I would have to say the biggest inspiration would have to come from sitting down and having a beer with our fishermen and seafood suppliers and growers. At Blue Manna we take the whole catch weather its Dhufish, Harliquin to Deepsea leather jackets and what better way to learn new things then straight from the people that live seafood everyday.
