About MA/NAOpening 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.
