Really enjoyable meal at Mana. I really liked the ample use of fresh seafood ingredients and the unique, Japanese-inspired dishes. The prawn dish was incredible, like nothing I've ever had before. On the downside, besides from the prawns, there was no other individual dish which blew my mind. The desserts were interesting, but not especially tasty. The service was not as attentive as I'd expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. I'd go back with other people, for the experience. I probably won't come back with just the two of us as it's overpriced for what it is.

Absolute delight for dinner. Every dish was unique in flavour and delicious. It was mostly seafood dishes except a coppa ham snack and a lamb main and the desserts. Service was excellent too with great explanations and enthusiasm from the chefs.

This isn't just good food - the food here is the apotheosis of culinary experiences. The service is incredible, the food is sublime and every member of staff had a incredible level of expertise and were immensely passionate in their fields. I can't wait to go again!

We went yesterday for the first time for my husband’s birthday and we had a great night. The place is lovely, the food was delicious and the selection of wines were great. We enjoyed every dish and the wine pairing. The staff were very nice, the restaurant was accommodating with my crustaceans allergy. The sommelier was one of the best we’ve ever had, he was super knowledgeable and fun! The only constructive feedback we have is that some waiters should speak louder, sometimes it was difficult to understand them as the music was loud and they were talking a bit low. Other that that, amazing night!

Mana offers a stunning dining experience with its beautiful, modern interior, featuring clean lines, open-plan design, and well-spaced tables. The open kitchen adds a touch of theater to the meal, enhancing the overall ambiance. Our journey began in the lounge with cocktails and two amuse-bouches, both of which were exquisite. We then moved to the kitchen area for a third amuse-bouche, providing an intimate glimpse of the culinary action, before being seated at our table for the main courses.cocktails was good, the house take on the negroni unfortunately was disappointing and had to ask for a swap. The poached oyster with frozen horseradish was a standout dish—perfectly cooked with an incredible sauce that elevated the flavors. The custard with white asparagus and charred broccoli was enjoyable, though not as memorable. The cod with mussels was exceptional—beautifully cooked with a translucent texture and complemented by the mussels in a harmonious balance of flavors. The hogget was another highlight, served with a Danish pastry and caramelized onion butter that added depth and richness to the dish. Dessert, while very pleasant, didn’t quite reach the high standard set by the earlier courses. Nonetheless, it rounded off the meal nicely. Mana delivers a thoughtful and immersive dining experience that is deserving of its Michelin star. The attention to detail and creativity in the dishes make it a must-visit for food enthusiasts.

Just an amazing place! The food is just magical and the staff is top notch. But the best in this restaurant is the sommelier, who I'm painfully have forgotten his name. He's the star of a great restaurant!

Visiting Mana in Manchester was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the service was impeccable, striking the perfect balance between attentive and relaxed. Despite the meticulous attention to detail, the atmosphere was far from pretentious. Instead, it felt warm and welcoming. We opted for matching wines and one of the highlights of our evening was interacting with the sommelier. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also had a great sense of humour. We shared some laughs and left with a newfound appreciation for sake. The wine pairings were impressive—daring and refreshingly unexpected. The food was spectacular.
