Asia-Pacific comes to the Atlantic
If there is one thing a successful restaurateur needs to know, it’s how to read a crowd and how to make that crowd happy. It’s an invaluable ability that is particularly useful when it comes to running a prosperous eatery in the fiendishly fickle city of Cape Town.
As such, the bar dining venue Quaglino’s on the Mouille Point strip has been closed, re- clothed and is opening on Thursday 1 September as Manga. Under the helm of hospitality veteran Steve Sadler, who has recently joined fellow investors Marc Langlois, Jean Muller and Brendon Crew, Manga is set to be a street-meets-current kind of a spot that has Asian-ish influences in terms of food and décor.
Sadler explains more, “Manga celebrates an eclectic mix of Asian and Eastern/Pacific cultures and offers diners a dynamic mash-up of contemporary style-food. Most notably is Manga’s sushi menu, which will include its signature dish – Sushi Taco – made up of tuna tartare, tuna sashimi, avo and micro herbs.”
Benefiting from the input of a team of creative minds, including Grant Gillis from Delta Design, Manga promises to be a whole lot of fresh and a little quirky. “This re-brand isn’t about starting over, but launching a new dining experience that hits all the needs of our customers and the community. It’s part of a greater growth strategy that puts the Mouille Point eatery on par with the best restaurants the city has to offer,” Sadler concludes.
Manga opens Thursday 1 September.
