MAYA is a glamorous restaurant in Manchester, housed in an old warehouse on the corner of Chorlton Street and Canal Street. This multi-storey restaurant, bar and party destination has become a go to spot if you're looking for somewhere special.
On the ground floor you’ll find a cocktail bar and brasserie, which enjoys sweeping natural light during the day thanks to large windows. The space is great for long lunches and evening get-togethers, whilst the bistro bar and terrace is the place to be if you're hunting for an exceptional cocktail.
The a la carte menu is tightly curated, featuring an assortment of seasonal, modern European plates. Local producers are featured heavily, whether it’s sourdough from Manchester bakery Pollen, Mrs Kirkham’s cheese, or Littlewoods charcuterie. Alongside more elevated dishes like a whipped rarebit with pickled rhubarb and walnut ketchup, you’ll also find a proper burger made with ex-Dairy beef and lyonnaise onions, truffle butter trofie pasta with parmesan and pink peppercorn, and a 350 day aged sirloin with Cafe de Paris butter.
Alongside the a la carte, MAYA also serves a more compact lunch menu, and a separate bar snacks menu for anyone at the bar. The latter includes smaller snacks like seaweed popcorn, salted pretzels, boquerones, and charcuterie platters.
MAYA also hosts a very popular bottomless brunch on Saturdays in the canal-side bar, with generous brunch dishes accompanied by live DJs and your choice of bottomless cremant, lager or cocktails. The brunch menu includes a main course plus bottomless drinks, with dishes including MAYA’s Caesar salad with pecorino and sourdough, miso-glazed hangar steak on ciabatta, and roast chicken with harissa and gremolata.
