About Manuka Woodfire Kitchen

Follow the aroma of burning hardwood off High Street into Freo’s coziest hearth. Manuka Woodfire Kitchen anchors its open room with a roaring wood-fired oven where chefs work bare flames in full view. Regulars gravitate straight toward the blistering flatbread—ripped by hand and pulled through rich babaganoush, pear-laced stracciatella, or roasted garlic butter. The hearth dictates the rest of the table: crackling pork belly, fire-roasted tiger prawns, and wood-fired royal blue potatoes, cut with fresh kingfish crudo and crisp watermelon salad. Local vineyards and neighborhood breweries fill the drink list, while the floor team navigates tasting-menu pacing, dietary requests, and milestone celebrations with effortless care.

  • Wood-Fired Flatbread: Charred, blistered dough served alongside smoky babaganoush, pear stracciatella, or garlic butter.
  • Hearth-Led Plates: Flames from the open hearth char everything from tiger prawns and crisp pork belly to signature royal blue potatoes.
  • Local Pours & Easy Hospitality: Regional cellar lists and craft taps paired with warm, attentive care for date nights and celebrations.

Why Choose Manuka Woodfire Kitchen

Wood-fired hearth dining, regional ingredients, and welcoming hospitality in Fremantle.

  • Live Wood-Fired Hearth Craft

    Dishes are prepared over live fire in an open kitchen layout, imparting rich wood-smoke depth to blistered flatbreads and roasted meats.

    We sat near the oven and watched the chefs work with the flames, which added a really cool energy to our night. The food had a wonderful smoky flavor that you can only get from real wood-fire cooking.
