I went to Manzi’s with a couple of friends as a long overdue catch up. The venue is spacious and has a nautical theme to the decor. We all really liked it. The food is seafood focussed (as you might expect!) but there are some meat and vegetarian options. We had the prawn cocktail and sardine bruschetta to start which were delicious - I got food envy seeing the sardines come out so would definitely order those next time, and then we had the bouillabaisse, the steak frites and the fish of the day lemon sole as mains. All were great but the lemon sole was the favourite (I had food envy again!). For dessert we had the almond tart, cheesecake and hokey pokey - all were fine - my almond tart was good but nothing to write home about. The service was very good. The best surprise was the bill at the end - we thought for the amount of food and wine we had, it was pretty reasonable for London (this is always relative as sadly we are ‘used’ to London pricing so this was reasonable in comparison to other restaurants of the same standard). All in all we really enjoyed our visit and will be back!
