About MA/NA
Opening in early 2026 on Upper Grosvenor Street,MA/NA is inspired by the Japanese philosophy that every ingredient carries an invisible energy shaped by nature and the hands that honour it.
Mana is a spiritual force that is felt rather than seen. It transforms emotion into experience,and a meal into memory.
MA/NA offers a seamless connection between restaurant and bar,where refined Japanese cuisine meets an exceptional cocktail,wine and sake programme.
Led by Executive Chef Leo Tanyag,whose career includes Los Mochis,JUNO Omakase,and LUNA Omakase,MA/NA will bring together exceptional ingredients,technical precision and thoughtful hospitality in one of London's most exciting new restaurant openings.
