Manly Harbour Village Shopping Centre has a rich history and has long been the central hub of the Manly Harbour Village shopping community. Constructed in the 1960’s by Stan Davis, the original Mall had a butcher, green-grocer, newsagent, general store and a barber, before being home to one of Brisbane’s Cash and Carry Stores. All very similar to the shops and services that can be found in the shopping centre today. Interestingly, The Mall was actually the original name of the Village Shopping Centre built on the corner of Cambridge Pde and Stratton Tce. Many locals have shared their stories of their time spent working and shopping in the building and the local village stores. While there have been lots of changes over the past 60 years, Manly Harbour Village still retains its village feel even as it transitions to a more vibrant and progressive shopping, dining and leisure precinct. .

Brayden Heslehurst recently penned an article for the Courier Mail , highlighting the recent movement to experience dining in Manly Harbour Village. There's nothing quite like enjoying great fish and chips by the water, but the local options these days have become far more sophisticated. As Brayden said, ' The bayside dining hub has gained a higher profile this year after two venues were named in The Courier-Mail ’s top 100 restaurants in Queensland , with The Arsonist at No. 34 and The Manly Boathouse at No. 96.' Outside of the Brisbane CBD and surrounding areas, such as Teneriffe and Woolloongabba, Manly was the only place in the city’s outer suburbs to have more than one entry in the list. Whether it's a legacy of Covid lockdowns, in that locals prefer to stay closer to home, or it's driven by the desire to support local, there seems to be a shift in the belief that the CBD is the only place to go for special dining occasions. Share-style menus are also in fashion, with both Top 100 Manly venues offering feasting and group-style dishes. Breakfast and lunch experiences are no longer standard bacon-and-egg fare either, with Manly Kitchen serving up Brioche French Toast with sour cherries, chocolate soil and kuromitsu, and Cambridge Lane Espresso offering Spanish Chorizo hash cakes with char-grilled asparagus. Manly's dining options throughout the harbour's sailing and yacht clubs, shopping precinct and along Esplanade are many and varied, and definitely worth a visit. For a list of all venues in and around Manly Harbour, check out the 'eat' page of the Manly Harbour Village website. EAT. SHOP. PLAY. STAY. Manly Harbour Village - where Brisbane meets the Bay.

For the second year running, Brisbane Festival hit the suburbs in September with its Street Serenade performances; a mini concert featuring Brisbane and Australian artists. The Manly Harbour Village Chamber of Commerce was excited to be involved to provide a free event to Manly residents and visitors that would offer more than just the concert. Thus, a Taste of Manly was born. Bayside Park came alive with face painting, giant games, and local performances by Momentum Choir , Wynnum State High School and Cody Miller. Moreton Bay Boys' College performed a surprising and fantastic rock-out performance, with BAY FM 's outdoor studio pumping out some great tunes between sets. Some lucky attendees saw much more than most, with Brisbane Bespoke Charters offering half hour mini Harbour tours throughout the day which sold out quickly. 2530 Adventures also provided free kayaking paddles for the kids - thanks for getting so muddy, Kyle! Local restaurants The Arsonist and Tide on the Jetty 'popped up' with some yummy bites alongside a range of food trucks , while many enjoyed quenching their thirst with Diablo Ginger Beer . Visitors learned about the great work volunteers are doing at the Moreton Bay Discovery Centre and even donated to the cause which was terrific to see. The weather was fantastic and Manly really shone, as did the performers and all involved. The Manly Harbour Village Chamber of Commerce thanks the Brisbane City Council for their sponsorship of this event.
