A Taste of Sydney in Fukuoka 🏖️

A cafe born from surf dreams. Founded by Itsuro Fujita, Manly is named after the iconic beach town near Sydney where he once surfed during his working holiday—a memory he brought home to create this café in Fukuoka.

What Makes It Unique

You Won’t Find Kangaroo Just Anywhere

Manly brings authentic Australian cuisine at dinner time, with kangaroo carpaccio, fried crocodile, ostrich roasts, and even Vegemite toast. If that sounds adventurous, you’re not alone—food explorers love it, while the comfort-seeking can still enjoy classic pancakes, pasta, pizza, and fish & chips.

Pancakes That Melt Hearts

A crowd favorite is the homemade ricotta cheese pancake: fluffy, creamy, and irresistible. Many visitors rave about it—which might explain why it’s featured monthly with seasonal toppings. Additionally, the “Eggs Benedict” and “Omelet rice” is also delicious, especially Omelet rice is Japanese style cuisine, so you can enjoy Japanese food culture and Australian culture as well.

With seating for around 25 guests—including a terrace option—and private event capability for groups of 15+, Manly fits many occasions: cozy solo visits, friendly brunches, casual dates, pet-friendly outings (yes, dogs welcome!), birthday celebrations, and even wedding afterparties.
