Manhattan Cafe, (Japanese: マンハッタンカフェ, 5 March 1998 – 13 August 2015) was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Unraced as a juvenile, he began his racing career as a three-year-old in 2001. He improved throughout the season, winning three minor races before developing into a top class stayer in autumn when he recorded Grade I wins in the Kikuka Sho and the Arima Kinen. He won the Tenno Sho as a four-year-old and was retired from racing after an unsuccessful bid for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Manhattan Cafe later became a highly successful breeding stallion. He died in 2015.
