bella vista - Manly

A lovely cafe and a good place for coffee or lunch. The food and service was very good. We sat outside in the shade of the trees ignoring the washing that kookaburras could steal our food (they didn't). Good to visit here if you are doing the North Heads Scenic Drive. We walked up from Manly and returned to Shelly Beach, a very pleasant walk (about 2 and a half hours)

Bella vista has the opportunity to be a well run cafe in a fabulous location with breathtaking views to the city & the heads. I return repeatedly only for coffee or cold drinks & even when very few customers are here am left waiting 15 minutes. The overall service is poor, very slow & limited. Worth a visit to take in the view with a seat - not for the service or quality food.

Good service , very good coffee, great location, moderate price. Can't think of a better place to have a coffee and a snack before tackling the Sydney traffic.

Slowest service in the worldSupposed table service is almost none existentOnce seated and given a menu I was ignored for 20 minutes.

I ordered Spaghetti Marinara with Chianti and I so love the pastaThe taste's perfect and the seafood is so fresh and tasty.
