Our Restaurant in The Arts District

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. We are very proud to have won the Wine Spectator’s Award for Excellence in their 2024 Restaurant Awards.

Open every day, Manuela is a peaceful haven to escape to whether for a leisurely brunch, a coffee or cocktail date or dinner with friends and family. Head to the tranquility of the garden, the buzz of the bar or dappled sunlight of our courtyard. There’s a space for every occasion.

Our Menu

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.
