With locally sourced ingredients, and a beautiful interior, it’s not hard to see why Mana is thriving, and the proud owner of one Michelin star.

Mana only accepts prior reservations, and tables are released at midday on the first day of each month for the second coming month. For example, on 1 January, reservations are available to book for all of March.

The Michelin Guide states: “The personality of chef-owner Simon Martin shines brightly at this stylish, modern restaurant in the lively Ancoats area of Manchester, where every one of the well-spaced tables has a view of the kitchen.

“The same fixed price, surprise multi-course menu is now served at both lunch and dinner, and the emphasis is on seafood because, as Simon puts it, ‘we live on an island’.

“While most of the produce is British, dishes incorporate influences from Simon’s travels and experiences, most notably Japanese and Nordic.

“Powerful flavours are the chef’s hallmark, and the sophisticated, modern dishes are precisely crafted, original and well-balanced. Each dish has a thoughtfully chosen wine to complement it, the ambience is calm and unhurried, and the bright young team are enthusiastic and refreshingly free from pomp.”

Closed on both Monday and Tuesday, Mana is open Wednesday from 7pm until late. The restaurant is then open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12pm - 1.30pm & 7pm until late.
