Review Manuka Woodfire Kitchen - Fremantle

Flat bread (topped up AUD20 for truffles) was super oily, maybe it’s meant to be but I did not enjoy my bread so soaked in oil.. especially when we are dipping into hummus with more oil in it 🥲 not that it was not tasty but perhaps would be better if the oil was cut back a bit. Hummus was delicious and tasted freshly made. Clams and mullet fillet both very good. I loved the fish the most of of everything that we ordered. The sauce had a nice flavour and fish was very well cooked. Great texture. Pork belly was tender and soft, even better when eaten together with the slaw. I like pork belly with crispy skin , this wasn’t the crispy skin type but tasted good still. Had a pale ale called sick puppy or something, it tasted very light and refreshing and I loved it. Apple cider was also very good. We were told that the menu changes everyday (wow!) Dessert menu didn’t really speak to me that day so didn’t try any. Remember to make reservations if you wish to secure a table because they seemed quite full during lunch service.

Great place, great food. We thoroughly enjoy our lunch there. The dishes we had was great except for the beef, we feel the gochujang basically mask the taste of the beef, wasn’t a standout dish especially for the price. But apart from that, was such a good feed. Staff were really helpful too overall. We look forward to returning!

What an experience! My Husband and I visited last night as a treat for our anniversary. We had heard about Manuka and have been meaning to go for a while. The passion the chefs have for food really shows. Everything was just absolutely delicious! The beef cheeks were the best I’ve ever had. Anyone who is a foodie needs to visit this place! We can’t wait to come back and try more. 🤩

Not a very big restaurant in size but when it comes to food and service its absolutely massive. What a wonderful experience the woodfired food is absolutely incredible taste to die for and the steak we ate was by far the best I've ever had in Perth. Service was swift , happy , friendly with lots of laughter was totally awesome. To not visit Manuka is a life wasted but big tip there's a wait list so get in now.

Late review because I was reminded by Google! Fantastic food and service Melt in the mouth belly pork with crispy skin Massive fresh prawns, scallops, and you can't stop eating the bread ☺️... We went with the chef's set menu...

Great service Lovely atmosphere Delicious food After many recommendations we finally got a chance to head to freo and try Manuka. I love a chef’s tasting to get the best spread of the menu and at $72 this tasting menu was excellent value. Starting with bread was amazing but dangerous as it’s so hard to manage how much to eat and not spoil the rest of your meal! Generous start of bread, Stracciatella Cheese and hummus dip, amazing flavours and decent serving sizes and just when we thought we couldn’t manage anymore they brought out a mushroom medley in delicious sauce. 4 prawns that were meaty and well flavoured. Beetroot salad followed this as a nice break from rich food. Final savoury course was a duck and pork mixed meatloaf kind of thing, I didn’t love this the texture was a lot like tinned tuna stringy and didn’t do the meats justice. The tasting ended with a vanilla panna cotta. Overall very filling, generous servings, good mix of meat and veg and tasty flavours.

OH-MY-YUM is how I feel about every dish I try at Manuka! From the Shark Bay tiger prawns with celeriac remoulade, fermented chilli and lemongrass to the wood-roasted Shark Bay scallops with nudja butter and finger lime. Oh and that humble but delicious flatbread. Nothing here disappoints. A cosy restaurant with attentive service (we loved the wood-fire smell as we entered the restaurant) - can’t wait for our next visit!

My wife and I had dinner and tried the chef's set meal that consists of 8 dishes. It was a combination of 5 starters, 1 salad, 1 main and 1 dessert. They source their ingredients fresh locally. What we liked most were the flat bread and hummus. We had a local fish and duck as our main. They really provided us with a good service throughout the night. I would recommend to order selected dishes from the menu based on your preference.

I would give them 10 stars... I absolutely love this place and highly recommend! As a naturopathic nutritionist I know the value of good food and it's getting harder in Perth to find good places to eat. I love that they focus on seasonal, ethically and sustainably sourced foods, I love how they team up flavours so well, I love that they slow cook on the woodfire and bring dishes out one or two at a time so you can appreciate each one ... all of these factors give you nourishment, taste sensation and total satisfaction without feeling heavy afterwards. We live an hour away in the Swan Valley but this is our new place for wholesome soul food and is totally worth the drive. Seriously even just for that flatbread and baba ganoush... Mmm. Thank you for keeping real food alive. P. S. Would you open another one near us...? Love your work! ��

Kenny delivers time after time! With an incredible rolling seasonal menu, showcasing the freshest local produce and using only an incredible “hole in the wall” Wood-fired oven. The trademark dishes include the baba ganoush (to die for Turkish style bread), the miso chicken and believe it or not the wood roasted olives!!!! I would now almost consider myself a frequent diner being here 8 times recently! Yep....I think I am in love!

Some of the best food I have ever eaten! Highly recommend! The pork shoulder was my favourite and the peaches were an interesting compliment to this dish. Definitely coming back :)

Been twice now. Fantastic food and lovely service. The bread is the best I have ever eaten. Delicious, original and creative food done in a rustic, wood fired way. A gem of a place. Go there.

Wonderful dining experience. 4 of us each had a tasting plate which was superb. From the hot olives through to the deconstructed cheesecake it's impossible to choose a favourite. We enjoyed Willow Bridge Sparkling to accompany the meal. Great atmosphere, excellent service and very professional staff. Love that everything is locally sourced and beautifully fresh.

Outstanding service and food! All the staff were very friendly and attentive even though it was busy. I was given the run down on the place and meals etc, top notch work from a W.A proud business. Will definitely be back again.. how ever i will book befor hand �

We had one of the best meals we've ever had, and we're still talking about the next day! Service was fantastic, our kids loved their pizza and our meals were superb, topped off by a cheesecake that was to die for. We'll be back for sure

Possibly the best food I’ve ever eaten in Perth absolutely amazing everything! Service 10/10 aswell! Can’t wait to come back!

This is my most favourite place to eat at the moment, it never disappoints, always fresh, bursting with flavour, delicious and healthy food. I love the fact that it is WA produce and wine and that the menu changes and varies often. Please don't change a thing!

Our family just had another amazing meal here. Our favourite restaurant! And so happy to see the chicken in miso back. And the haloumi, rhubarb and walnuts - OMG! But have never had a dish here we didn't love. See you again very soon.

The food and service is very good. We had 4 for an early dinner and had the set menu. Each dish was so delicious. The combinations and little surprises like the local honeycomb with the ricotta walnuts and pepitas was excellent. Also the table service was fantastic. Second visit and will definitely be back.

Small but perfectly executed menu from the wood fired oven. Vegetarians will not be disappointed, with delicious innovative dishes. Knowledgeable wait staff and a rustic interior complete this restaurant.

Splashed out a little on the set menu experience and did not regret it, amazing! Highly recommend! Thanks for the birthday efforts guys made all the difference.

First time at Manuka Woodfire Kitchen last night. The food was freshly cooked and delicious - we shared a margherita pizza, roasted beets with pomegranate and woodfired chicken with red cabbage. Food was cooked in the woodfire oven and the flavours were incredible. Enjoyed the three drops cabernet and dessert along with coffee. Will be back.

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner here last night, not only was the food delicious but the wait staff were so knowledgable on all of the dishes & where they source their ingredients from. The dishes are simple making the local produce stand out & with the wood fire oven adding the perfect amount of smokiness. Very accommodating to vegan options too. We will be back!

5 stars all the way. Hot olives set the tone for amazing fresh food. Great service with a smile and a must try is the flat bread baked with Babaganoush. Mains was also great with the beef pizza and to end it with good desert and good coffee. Do try it �

We when to Manuka Woodfire restaurant to celebrate. The food was delicious, the staff were outstanding and the atmosphere was relaxed. Such a cool place to share food with your favourite people. They surprised us with desert in honour of our anniversary.

Congratulations to you Kenny & your fabulous team! Well rounded menu, knowledgeable & personable staff, fantastic real food!! Flavours so simple but at the same time so outstanding, truly showcasing WA's amazing produce & your love of it. What a delight!! Thank you for such a wonderful evening :-*

Sensational! So worth the 4 hour round trip for dinner tonight. Highly recommend the crab pizza.

We had a terrible experience this evening. The service was appalling and it took us over an hour for our food to be drip fed. The staff and managers response was very typical and essentially they did not care. We ended up leaving early without all of our food. We feel they could have done a great deal more to make up for it. Unfortunately we will not return. A disgrace.

Arrived and was told all about the philosophy of the restaurant using WA produce for both food and drinks. The service and food were just amazing. The food tasted like it should. All fresh and just delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Amazing food! The pizzas are to die for and the staff really friendly. Great atmosphere and decor. Can't believe we hadn't been there sooner. Highly recommended

Great food, friendly and personable staff. Will definitely be back! Thanks

I'm changing my 4 star to a 5 star after YEARS of amazing dinners. Thankyou manuka for dining my grandfather, sisters, brothers, mother, father and everyone I generally love, EVERYONE I reccomend to eat here comes back + The clam pizza and the manna crab pizza are some of the best things i've ever eaten in my life 10/10 favourite venue out

Great food for a reasonable price. Great service. The chocolate mousse/pear dessert was fabulous. Perfect coffee.

Amazing!! Great service and great food. Loved it here.

Tiny cute little restaurant with excellent service. People who love what they are doing - you can feel it in every bite and every breath you take !!!

Delicious, could not fault the meal we had, will definitely be back. Nicest dinner we have had in a very long time �

We had the $55 chef menu, it was awesome, all local produce, it's a hard act to beat. The staff were excellent.

Incredible experience every time I visit, everything is spot on and the food is insanely good!
