Sake Manly First Birthday

Overview

If, when weekends roll around, you look for any excuse to don a nice outfit, sip fine wine and eat delicious food, listen up — Saké Restaurant & Bar Manly is celebrating its first birthday with a very fancy champagne lunch. On Sunday, November 24, the Japanese restaurant is serving up a special 12-dish feast with two hours of endless rosé-themed cocktails, wines and tap beers.

To start, you'll receive a glass of Veuve Clicquot (of course) and canapés, which you can enjoy while soaking up the stunning Luchetti Krelle-designed space inside and panoramic ocean views of Manly Cove outside. Then, you'll sit down for the aforementioned 12-dish shared feast by Head Chef Shoji Toru.

Salmon sashimi with lotus chips, beef tartare, seared scallops, Japanese-style chicken wings and kingfish with yuzu and jalapeño are all on the Sunday lunch menu. As are bao filled with pork katsu, a crunchy soba noodle salad and wagyu patties topped with cheese. You'll need to wear your fanciest stretchy pants for this.

You can pair all this with two hours of never-ending cocktails, wine and beer, too. So, maybe, restock your Berocca supply for Monday. All of this will set you back $139 a head.

If you can't make it to the lunch, though, you can still by heading to Saké Manly's bar for $15 cocktails and $99 bottles of Veuve — available all day.
