Manu
Experienced restaurateur Karen Hattaway bases her restaurant around the principles of manaakitanga and a warm welcome awaits in this lively spot. Expect the unexpected – real Pacific Asian flavours in starters like wild pork, smoked eel shumai and ahi tuna poke. For mains you could be tempted by manuka-smoked lamb shoulder with watercress and kumara purée, or kawakawa venison shanks. A group of four can order the special kai tahu wok – four surprise courses with wine matches.
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
