About Alice Dumpling Bar

Sip an ice-cold beer right opposite Manly Beach while folded-to-order dumplings hit the table steaming hot. Watch the kitchen crew hand-pleat wrappers through the open pass, or claim a pet-friendly table on the beachfront patio. Regulars check off visual order sheets for juicy xiao long bao, squid ink prawn dumplings, and wok-crisped salt and pepper tofu. It runs straight through the afternoon without a split shift—ideal when a seaside lunch stretches into golden hour over plates of sizzling Mongolian beef.

  • Open kitchen craft: Watch the kitchen crew pleat and cook dim sum to order through the visible dining-room pass.
  • Beachfront patio: Outdoor seaside seating directly opposite the sand welcomes dogs and casual afternoon crowds.
  • All-day service: Kitchen doors stay open from 11am with no afternoon closure between lunch and dinner.

  • Beachfront Dining with Pet-Friendly Patio

    Alfresco patio seating directly across from the sand lets guests enjoy lunch or dinner accompanied by ocean breezes and dog-friendly accommodations.

    We sat outside where it’s pet-friendly and right by the beautiful Manly beachfront… such a perfect spot to enjoy a meal.

  • Continuous All-Day Hours for Unhurried Meals

    Operating without an afternoon closure gives diners total flexibility to take their time over food and drinks anytime from 11am onward.

    The best part is they are open from 11am and don’t close….That means lunch can be as long as you like, not rushed to be out like some other venues.

    Scenic outdoor tables provide prime coastal vantage points, ideal for relaxing over dumplings while watching seaside strollers along the promenade.

    we sat outside to enjoy the view of Manly Beach and to people watch.
