In the heart of Manchester, just steps from the iconic Canal Street, Maya is an elegant subterranean escape where timeless sophistication meets contemporary dining.
The art deco-inspired interiors, with rich detailing and a statement cocktail bar set the stage for an experience that feels both indulgent and intimate. Here, modern creativity is guided by classical technique, resulting in dishes that are as precise as they are beautifully presented, a true celebration of refined dining in the city’s most vibrant quarter.
Maya’s menu is an ode to indulgence, crafted with precision and imagination. Begin with golden parmesan croquettes that melt into a vibrant salsa, or delicate Manchester Gin–cured salmon, lifted by the zing of pickled jalapeño and the crunch of lime-infused quinoa.
Small plates invite discovery: tender calamari dusted in Old Bay spices with silky saffron aioli, or succulent lamb ribs glazed with Moroccan spice and brightened by a burst of pomegranate.
Larger dishes are rich with character. Pan-fried stone bass resting on a bed of Mediterranean sauce and sea vegetables; pork ibérico secreto imbued with smoky depth and chimichurri; and the showstopping dry-aged ribeye, perfectly charred and bathed in decadent Café de Paris butter.
To finish, the menu turns playful and irresistible: think the warm embrace of Maya’s signature sticky toffee pudding with hazelnut praline, or the sharp-sweet balance of white chocolate and lime crémeux with tropical fruit. Every dish is designed to linger on the palate and in the memory.
