Barback – MA/NA Mayfair
About MA/NA
MA/NA Mayfair is inspired by the Japanese belief that every ingredient carries an invisible energy shaped by nature and human craft.
‘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. Refined Japanese dishes sit alongside a world-class cocktail,wine,and sake programme. Cocktails flow naturally into dinner,and dinner returns to drinks. Every detail — from service and design to sound and light — is intentional and celebrates the extraordinary within the simple.
