Kitchen Porter

Kitchen Porter at MA/NA

Location:

30 Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair

Opening in early 2026 in Mayfair, MA/NA is inspired by the Japanese belief that every ingredient holds an invisible energy shaped by nature and human craft.

Mana is a spiritual force that is felt rather than seen — transforming emotion into experience, and a meal into memory.

MA/NA will offer a seamless connection between restaurant and bar. Refined Japanese dishes will sit alongside a world-class cocktail, wine and sake programme. Every detail — from service and design to sound and light — is intentional and celebrates the extraordinary within the simple.
