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. We are delighted to have won the Award of Excellence in Wine Spectator’s 2024 Restaurant Awards!

We’re passionate about seasonal and local produce, and this is reflected in our own garden which is situated across the courtyard from the restaurant. Everything grown is used in our dishes or cocktails, including herbs, pomegranates, chillies and much more. Our garden is also home to our feathered friends, the chickens, who provide us with fresh eggs and joy every day.
