Opening in early 2026 in Mayfair, MA/NA is inspired by the Japanese belief that every ingredient holds 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 will offer a seamless connection between restaurant and bar. Refined Japanese dishes will 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.
