Demi Chef de Partie - MA/NA
30 Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair
About MA/NA
Opening in early 2026 on Upper Grosvenor Street, MA/NA is born from the Japanese philosophy that every ingredient carries an invisible power — a life-force shaped by nature and the hands that honour it.
‘Mana’ is the spiritual energy that exists beneath the surface of all things. It is felt rather than seen — transforming emotion into experience, and a meal into memory.
Guided by this belief, MA/NA will offer a seamless blend of restaurant and bar, refined Japanese dishes alongside an exceptional cocktail, wine and sake list. Here, cocktails flow effortlessly into dinner, and dinner naturally returns to drinks.
Every element of MA/NA, from design and service to sound and light, is intentional. Each detail celebrates the extraordinary within the simple.
