Hemingway’s is a cosy café and bar that apes the writers’ dens of old. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks, Hemingway’s is a world away from the bright sands of nearby Manly Beach, and has become a local favourite for its tongue-in-cheek appropriation of classic food and drinks. You’ll find their menu stapled inside old dictionaries or children’s books, which includes a sophisticated spin on chicken nuggets (rosemary and Dijon marinated chicken breast with chipotle mayo).
Sonia Piantoni and Emmanuel Deleuze took over the reins at Hemingway’s just over a year ago, moving here from the French Alps, where they own Le Montana, a Michelin Star restaurant in the mountain resort, Val Thorens.
Their common passion for gastronomy and love for Australia, which Emmanuel has been visiting for over 20 years, has inspired them to bring a little bit of French flavour to Manly.
Hungarian chef Zsolt Kovacs has had 12 years experience fine-tuning his skills as a chef, starting his training in the Rhineland in Germany, before moving on to Munich, Berlin and Bavaria. Zsolt has trained with many renowned French chefs throughout his career and has been collaborating with Sonia and Emmanuel Deleuze, the French owners of Hemingway’s Manly, to create a menu that combines Manly seaside favourites with traditional French cuisine.
