A whole-food café in Short Street Plaza, a quiet step away from the main strip. Girdlers has held to the same organic philosophy since 2005 – pesticide-free ingredients, natural coffee, no seed oils – and the food makes the case for it without needing to. Smoothie bowls, buckwheat crepes, pancakes, bacon and egg rolls: the menu is familiar in form and noticeably better in execution.
A local institution with a loyal morning crowd to match.
Open daily from 7am. About three minutes on foot from Elysium Manly via Raglan Street.
