Mana
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Assured Nordic treatment of high-end ingredients."
Overview
Down a cobbled street in Manchester’s vibrant Ancoats area, Mana has a minimalist look with high ceilings, picture windows and unclothed darkwood tables. An open island-style kitchen is populated by hard-at-work chefs sending out some highly accomplished Scandi-influenced cooking. Multi-course menus deliver dishes that are highly technical, intelligent and masterfully constructed to balance flavours and textures, with fermentation and fire contributing to the skillset. There’s no formal starter/main/dessert format so expect to find the finest raw materials underpinning the 16 or 17 courses of varying sizes that change according to the seasons.
