Manuka Restaurant

Adding to the list of iconic landmarks in charming Devonport is Manuka Cafe and Restaurant. Not only is it NZ-famous – its Mediterranean cuisine has been delighting locals and visitors from all over the world for over 20 years.

Occupying an idyllic street corner, Manuka is at the centre of all the action whilst also being a relaxing haven for those seeking refuge from the city. A short boat ride from Auckland CBD can see you in their friendly parlour or at a street-side dining table outside. And with fresh Mediterranean eats on the menu, it's summer all year round.

Of course, pasta always reigns supreme at Manuka and with fettuccine carbonara and seafood linguine. And speaking of seafood, their fish dishes perfectly balance the delicacy of daily ocean catches - the salmon risotto is not to be missed.

And in true Kiwi style, pork belly is given its rightful place on the meat menu alongside a braised lamb shank glazed with a rich lamb jus. For the undecided, their meat, seafood and vegetarian platters make those tough decisions all the easier. And a home-cooked dessert never did anyone any harm! The jewel in Devonport's crown, you'll find yourself in Manuka time and time again.
