I feel bad for not loving Manat the way everyone else does but maybe its just me. The dishes all seemed too chunky and lacking the sort of delicate touch I imagine would elevate the dishes. My starter of a terrine of pork seemed underseasoned and lacking any flavour I could discern. The second course of veal tataki was delicious with the savoury seaweed flakes but again was a bit heavily reliant on the kewpie tasting sauce. The dessert was disappointing: a cherry and chocolate sauce sandwich in choux. The cherries seemed pitted and placed with nothing done to them in the choux, so the dish came off as something not as elevated as one might get traveling patisseries in this part of France. The chocolate sauce was excellent though.

Overall I wish Manat would zero in on the flavours and textures of the dishes I tried so they really sing. The space is beautiful. The chefs quite serious in their work, but something feels to be missing in the food. Again, maybe just me so please dont take this personally. I hope you guys get those stars. Best of luck.
