Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

Located in the Arts District of Los Angeles, Manuela unites chef, farmer and artist to create an authentic and original dining experience. Under the direction of Executive Chef Kris Tominaga, the menu celebrates seasonal ingredients sourced from the best farms and producers in Southern California.

Serving a wide range of vegetables, grains, fish, and game, Manuela also features an exemplary bar program, which serves classic cocktails using house-made bitters and tonics. Local beers are on tap, while the carefully selected wine list is designed to pair with the smoke and acid at the heart of Manuela’s menu.

Designed by Los Angeles native Matt Winter and named for Manuela Wirth, the restaurant is illuminated and animated by specially commissioned works from artists Paul McCarthy, Mark Bradford and Raymond Pettibon.

Food is good. But seems overpriced considering the serving size. The ambience is ok, however feels like we were being rushed to leave.

Absolutely phenomenal!! The food and ambience were amazing. Our server was top notch. He knew the menu well and had great recommendations. Everything we ordered tasted like a slice of heaven. My only regret is not living in LA and being unable to go again sooner.

Wonderful dining experience Pros: - food 10/10 - service 9/10 - ambiance 10/10 Cons: - chairs are pretty uncomfortable to sit in - I walked into the restroom and there was a woman changing her baby on the floor - please install a baby changing station in the bathroom (I know this is a shared restroom with the museum but both should really have something for mothers)
