About Us
Norma's Deli is an always-on banquette of food and drinks. It's a one-stop destination for takeaway goods when a legion of friends come over for a Sunday late lunch or a revolving deli offering for a mid-week meeting at the bar. The menu is influenced by Greek flavours but expands its repertoire to include Mediterranean-style dishes; think jam-packed sandwiches on freshly baked bread and a lemon tart to finish. Norma’s is best-in-class when it comes to a Deli concept, as the pre-prepped food cabinet sits alongside the live kitchen, bakery and bar. The onsite sourdough bakery will operate alongside a rotisserie, with fine deli meats being cut on order. The Deli operates from morning to afternoon, offering the Manly locals and visitors a reliable option when it comes to any food and drink occasion. Whether you are visiting for the first time or a frequent patron, Norma’s will become synonymous with the overall beachside experience.
