Manuel’s Restaurant and Bar is an independent Italian and Mediterranean dining room at 129 Gipsy Hill in South London. Warm service and sunny Mediterranean decor give the restaurant a relaxed character for lunch, dinner, family meals and occasions shared with friends.

The kitchen follows a simple philosophy based on seasonal produce, quality ingredients and minimal fuss. Starters lead into a broad choice of pasta and risotto, with familiar Italian foundations complemented by ideas gathered through Chef Manuel’s travels in Sicily, Portugal and other regions.

Fresh seafood can include prawns, mussels, scallops, squid, salmon and sea bass, while meat dishes make use of lamb, steak, veal, chicken and venison. Vegetable preparations, soups, salads, cheese and gluten free adaptations give diners several alternatives to the richer pasta, fish and meat choices.

Desserts, wine and cocktails complete the menu, and regular live music on Tuesdays and Thursdays is joined by jazz on Sundays. Catering services extend the cooking to homes and offices nearby, while the restaurant itself remains the central setting for an evening that combines food and performance.
