PRIVATE DINING ROOM

The Private Dining Room at Manuela seats up to 28 guests (or 31 guests with hired furniture) around a striking 7-meter bespoke mosaic table by acclaimed artist Rashid Johnson, anchored by his brilliant red custom rug beneath. Designed as both intimate and impressive, the room blends art and atmosphere seamlessly, making it as memorable as the gatherings it hosts.

Guests may enter discreetly through a private entrance on Prince Street or arrive via the main restaurant, offering flexibility for every occasion. The space is further distinguished by a monumental wall-drawing by Pat Steir , while a curtain and room divider created exclusively for Manuela by renowned artist and designer Duro Olowu lend both privacy and character.

Infused with art, warmth, and a sense of occasion, this truly is a space like no other-perfect for celebrations, important dinners, and unforgettable moments shared around the table.
