ABOUT

Since its opening in 2005, situated within the historic Gliptoteka building in the end of Tkalčićeva street, ManO restaurant commanded attention with its splendid interior. Culinary ambitions of all its chefs have been based on high-quality ingredients, extraordinary presentation and tastes. With the arrival of chef Matija Bogdan the restaurant reaches completely new spheres, promising a unique gastronomic experience.

Every detail of the beautiful interior highlights the elegance and the recognisable fusion of the traditional and modern culinary expression of ManO restaurant. The spacious outside terrace overlooking the street and attracting the passers-by’s looks is shaded by thick tree tops.

We wanted to create a gastronomic oasis where each guest would feel appreciated, welcome and relaxed. It is our task to pamper your palate with our sophisticated dishes made from hand-picked top-quality ingredients. Of course, combined with the carefully selected domestic and international wines recommended by our sommelier.
