A seafood sensation in Soho

Soho welcomes a new iteration of famous fish and seafood restaurant Manzi’s as the muchloved restaurant opens at Bateman’s Buildings – connecting Bateman Street and Soho Square – on 29 June. Paying homage to its famous forefather, which served Londoners from Leicester Square for more than 50 years, Manzi’s menu includes classic dishes such as moules marinière, crustacea and catch of the day, and Dover sole.

More contemporary selections include calamari in tomato sauce, fried violet artichokes with sauce gribiche and a New York shrimp burger served with spiced mayonnaise, while speciality dishes include a mouthwatering monkfish Wellington served with a prawn mousse and dill beurre blanc. Pairing suggestions come in the form of a playful cocktail list featuring Old Cuban, White Negroni, and Mediterranean Mary.

The new launch from the Wolseley Hospitality Group also boasts interior décor conceptualised by Fabled Studio, who have updated the hedonistic vibe the original Manzi’s was so well known for. Expect mermaids and sea creatures in abundance against a palette of soft blues, whites and sea greens across the restaurant’s two floors.
