Manuela | An Artsy, Farm-Fresh Gem in DTLA's Arts District 🎨🥗

Tucked inside the iconic Hauser & Wirth gallery space, Manuela is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Step into a lush, garden-like setting surrounded by contemporary art, and get ready for a meal that’s as fresh as it is flavorful. Known for its American Southern-inspired fare and “farm-to-table” philosophy, Manuela focuses on wood-fired dishes, seasonal veggies, and brunch classics with a clean, modern twist. If you love light, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared meals — this is your spot. Here’s what we tried: 🥧 Biscuits – A must-order! Flaky, buttery, and served with honey butter. Pure comfort. 🍤 Shrimp & Grits – Tender shrimp over creamy rice grits with mushrooms. Soothing and satisfying. 🍳 Sunny-side Eggs + Thick-cut Bacon + Grits + Apple Arugula Salad – A hearty yet balanced plate with smoky bacon, soft grits, and fresh greens. 🍞French Toast – A bit too sweet and rich for our taste. Cute but cloying. 🥚 Popover Benedict – A creative twist! Fluffy popover replaces the English muffin, with a dreamy poached egg inside. Visually stunning and delicious. Desserts: 🍐 Vermouth Citrus Poached Pear – Elegant and complex. Silky mascarpone, Earl Grey caramel, and miso-poppy crunch. A must-try! 🍧Pear Sorbet – Light, refreshing, and a perfect palate-cleanser. Whether you're here for brunch, a relaxed date, or just a moment of calm in the city — Manuela delivers beauty on a plate and peace in the atmosphere. 📍 Manuela Hauser & Wirth, Arts District, DTLA #ManuelaDTLA #ArtAndFood #FarmToTable #DTLAEats #BrunchGoals #CleanEating #GalleryVibes #HauserWirth #LosAngelesFood #HiddenGems
