If you’re after an insta-worthy café in Manly, this is the place. While the food comes out looking like it’s been styled for a magazine, it’s not just for show, every bite delivers. Brekkie burgers stacked high, salmon bennies with silky hollandaise and crispy smashed potatoes with relish and avo are just a few standouts that taste as good as they look.
The fit-out is effortlessly cool with coastal tones, lush greenery and a soft glow that makes every corner feel like golden hour. Out front, you’ve got salty air, water views and a steady hum of locals grabbing their morning brew or lingering well into lunch. And once the sun starts to dip, the vibe shifts. Experience culinary creativity after hours at Groundhog Social. Groundhog After Dark brings a whole new flavour to the Esplanade, with an evening menu served from 5pm to 9pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The menu steps up with plates like fish tacos with lime crema, pork belly with sticky glaze and burgers loaded with spice and crunch.
It’s the kind of place where your phone eats first, but your taste buds won’t be far behind. Whether you’re brunching, grazing or settling in for dinner and drinks, Groundhog Social gets it right every single time.
