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.

Very impressive
Exceptional, is this refinement of the original Blue Kanu in Queenstown. Decor, service, and food all match and harmonise here. This is memorable dining. Christchurch's latest should be very high on your 'to do' list

Manu
This restaurant was the best I have ever been to. The service was so good and the music was so perfect for us. My partner and I are big pacific music fans. The food was out of this world. Sooo good. And the cocktails as well. Highly recommend!!! 12/10

Great on all fronts
Very pleasant front of house and wait people. I wanted to eat everything on the menu! I had the pork, prawn and crayfish dumplings. They had just the right amount of heat and were delicious. In retrospect I should have had another couple of the small dishes but I had the steamed butterfish instead. It was good. Prices were a bit high but great location in the cbd and a short walk from my hotel. Would certainly return next time I’m in ChCh
