Afternoon Views from The Spit to Manly

Overview

There are two ingredients that all quintessential Sydney lunches share: water and sunshine. Kick into the weekend with them both at Chiosco by Ormeggio at The Spit's d'Albora Marina. Opened in early 2015, it's the casual, younger sibling of the two-hatted Ormeggio, which is just next door. Surrounded by sweeping harbour views, relax over share plates, house-made pasta and bombolone (Nutella-filled, sugar-coated Italian doughnuts). Feel free to indulge to button-popping levels, because next up is a long, dreamy, harbourside stroll: the classic Spit to Manly walk. The ten-kilometre trail carries you through dense bushland and past pretty little beaches and bays. Don't forget your swimmers.
