Up to 50% Off Food at Manu
Welcome to Manu, a lively and creative restaurant and bar in the heart of Christchurch, New Zealand. At Manu, we blend the rich traditions of Pacific and Asian cultures with local Māori flavors, creating dishes that celebrate our diverse heritage.
Manu is the Māori word for “feathered creature,” representing grace, beauty, and diversity, much like a bird. Every day, we aim to capture this spirit in both our food and atmosphere, offering a space that feels colorful, welcoming, and vibrant.
Our menu is a fusion of Asian, Pacifica, and Māori influences, crafted with care to reflect the warmth and generosity of manaakitanga (hospitality). We believe food is a way to connect people, and we strive to provide an unforgettable dining experience that delights your senses and nourishes your soul.
