Manas Restaurant
God, they are just like soooo proud of having outside seating here. The merest whiff of sunshine and they're wanging those tables and chairs out all over St Sampsons Square. And speaking of wanging, hang around long enough and you may just catch some authentic plate smashing action. A charming little habit my boyfriend seems to have latched onto in an attempt to avoid the washing up. Other than that the food's ok and it's a good place for a big group –especially when there's that dodgy live music on –it drowns out the more exuberant of the group.
