Manny's Wine & Fish Burleigh Beach

Salty air. Warm lights. A kitchen that is completely dialed. Manny’s Wine & Fish isn't your standard Burleigh seafood joint—it’s an intimate, open-kitchen setup radiating pure filoxenia. Those who score a seat at the bar report an almost omakase-level of care when ordering the 'Feed Me' menu, watching the chef hand plates straight over the pass. Expect unapologetically bold Greek flavors. Zesty, garlic-heavy tzatziki. Golden saganaki. Pacific oysters hit with shallot vinaigrette. The heirloom tomatoes carry that earthy, sun-baked choriatiki bite you usually have to cross an ocean to find. While the boutique scale means premium pricing and curated portions, the culinary payoff hits hard. Thursday nights deliver a killer $25 lamb yiros wrapped in warm pita alongside hand-cut fries. Wash it down with a Sumac-Tequila margarita or a sharp shot of ouzo. Finish with the banana loukoumades. A wildly authentic, high-energy coastal taverna.
