Happy New Year to you into 2006.

May your year be filled with drinking great wines together with scrumptious gourmet wood-fired pizzas, or a delicious T-Bone, topped with chicken liver pate, crispy prime back bacon, a few slices of fresh avocado, and lightly topped with a mushroom ragout.

Manuka Tokai has just undergone a great re-vamp.  Now an additional section, Cocktail Wine Bar and a super huge wood fired pizza oven. Pizzas such as our Breakfast Pizza - (mushrooms, bacon, tomato and fried eggs) - or our Lamb Pizza (roasted lamb, baby new potatoes and mint jelly), or Smoked Chicken (smoked chicken, ripe brie cheese, and drizzled with cranberry sauce) - or Salad Pizza (ideal for summer - Margarita topped with shredded Greek Salad).  All Pizzas available for take away as well as the rest of our menu.  For more details visit our web site at www.manuka.co.za and book your table or take away on 701 9777 - TOKAI - Open 7 days and evenings Tues to Sat - with over 30 years experience - we rarely go wrong!

Since Alistair has completed his Bartenders course, he has come up with great cocktails for you.  What better after a long hot day's work in the city than to sit outside Manuka, sipping a cocktail overlooking the Constantiaberg Mountains while browsing over our mouth watering menu.  DO NOT FORGET that our wine prices in the restaurant, because of the Wine Shop next door, are approx. half the price of any other restaurant.

Details above apply to most Manuka stores - Somerset West, Tygervalley, Pretoria East, Killarney JHB (early Feb).

Noordhoek is open 7 days a week - only a Wine Boutique - no restaurant attached.  Take a drive and browse through the shop whilst viewing some of the best art on show from Pam Cooper, Peter Jander and the renowned Eatwell Family.  Call 789 0898 for more details (Leslie).
