We didn't eat here this time, just came for drinks and the scene. It was also welcomed to just come for drinks and weren't turned away because we weren't eating. They have reservations available online, but not for the bar. Warning: This is a very upscale, elegant/chic bar/restaurant that ranges from well dressed businessmen to ladies in haute couture. It's incredible and very Gatsby feeling- but can make you feel underdressed very easily. Do not come here dressed like a slouch or you'll feel out of place. On the other hand, use this place as an excuse to go all out with an outfit. The drinks at the bar are world class. €20 each on average but well worth it. Comfortable seating, friendly staff. Highly recommend the old fashioneds!! Definitely a spot to hit on your trip- and easy to coordinate if you have tickets to crazy horse which is around the corner. read more

Manko - Rhum old fashioned - Peruvian Near Me - Paris, 75

Went to Manko's last night (Friday) and before that, a Tuesday. Wanted to do a quick review. Summary - lovely place, good food, nice people - would highly recommend! For context, we are American, but pretty much no-one else in the place were tourists as far as I could make out. At the door we were greeted with a smile by Samuel - charming, polite, but you definitely wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of this guy! (also if we had just rolled up on a Friday with no reservation it might have been a problem, but he recognized us from the Tuesday). Inside, the hostess was very beautiful and exchanged compliments with my wife - again, charming and friendly. And inside, Gucci was very efficient and (on the Tuesday when we ate) was very detail oriented - knew all about the food and drinks and exactly how he wanted them made by his bartender. On the Friday "people" (very funny and charming guy) and Nelson (more serious but still friendly!) were very, very busy making drinks for the large crowd at the bar. The crowd was all well dressed, mostly 30+ I think, very happy and friendly. Side note - we ate there on the Tuesday from the full menu and all was very good. This being Paris, they are not geared for eating at the bar, but Gucci made an exception and asked the chef and so we were able to try the dishes - excellent! Oh, final thing, we left around 1am (I think!) and only just realized as we left the place had a nightclub at the back - people dancing, bottle service, music etc. Too crazy for this old(er) couple, but looked like a lot of fun for the well-heeled 30+ crowd. I see other reviews with pics of the owner - didn't meet or see him, but whoever he is, he has some very good staff here - every one was right on point, friendly, efficient, a real credit to the place. Merci beaucoup Manko's! read more

Made a reservation online at the time. When I showed up with my wife, they refused to seat us pretexting there was an issue with the reservation. My wife is black, I didn't know the restaurant was that racist until now. read more

Found hair in my food. The staff was rude. I was given a glass to drink that already had lipstick on it and The food taste like crap. DONT WASTE UR MONEY HERE read more

This Peruvian restaurant was worth every dollar! The dishes were beautifully platted and showcased true South American flavors in a very gastronomical way. We had the bao, ceviche, Alain's Fish, Boliyucas, and for dessert we had the Maracuya and Cachanga. It was my mother's birthday dinner, so they brought a special firework candle for her, and a candle to blow out. It was a very special evening. Overall, I would give the restaurant an 8.5/10, the food was great, our waitress was amazingly helpful and she spoke English. I only wished there was a little more lighting so I could visually enjoy the dish and maybe soften the music just a little. Oh, and before I forget, for the coat check, there's a charge. Bon Appetit! read more

I went to both dinner and the cabaret at Manko. The restaurant is so beautiful inside, they did an excellent job with the finishes. This is a Peruvian restaurant with a heavy emphasis on fish. The quality definitely matched the price point. Food we tried: (that I can remember) Nikkei Cebiche - yummy! Octopus - extremely good but they cut the octopus into very small pieces and mix it in a sauce. So if you are not sure if you like octopus, this is an excellent way to start. If you really love octopus, you may wish there was more of it. Quinoa Salad - tasted great and balanced our meal with a fresh finish. Mini Veggie Quinoa Burger - our server suggested this and I was on the fence but it turned out to be very good. Each burger is the perfect 2 bites. Black Angus Beef Flank - by far this was my favorite. The beef was perfect and the sauce really complimented it. It is a great item to share because all of the beef is bite size. Bottle of wine - I love how nice wines in France are not very expensive. I don't know what we ordered but it was suggest by our server and paired perfectly with our food. Contrary to other reviewers, our server was extremely nice and helpful. The Cabaret: Personally I loved it. The performers are so talented and each performance was impossible to take your eyes off. The format includes frequent breaks for dancing and getting drinks in between each performance. We did not get a table because they were sold out but that's really the way to go. Since we were standing the whole time, we worked off dinner by dancing the night away. This place is full of gorgeous, well dressed and eccentric people. If you are not dressed right or you act like a "stupid American" you will not get good service. Think of the trendiest, most difficult places to get into in Los Angeles but with Parisians running it. LOL! I would definitely come back. If you decide to go, dress up and bring your best manners to have a great time. read more

Manko - My sister and I with friends and Manko's proprietor Tony Gomez. What a fun night!!! - Peruvian Near Me - Paris, 75

We stumbled across this place while walking around champs elysee. We went for lunch, but it is down stairs in a basement / club type atmosphere, very trendy. The menu has English translations but lacks good detail that I'm accustom to. We got a fennel and potato salad to start. It was really unique and delicious! We then each got an entree, which was only 2 pieces of fish and 3 pieces of octopus. They were so flavorful and cooked well, just smaller than we had hoped. read more

Manko - Peruvian Near Me - Paris, 75

The food was nasty and burnt. They took a long time to prepare the food. Do not eat here.

#unprofessional #racist #rude On 29/02 we went at Manko exactly on time after one month booking. The doorman was so so rude. At first he said he didn't find the reservation name. That's ok, we showed him the message and the confirmation call of the same day. And he said 'Well even if we find the reservation, We don't have a table'. No sorry, nothing, just a high level of rudeness and attitude. This happened exactly at 22:45 on a Saturday. While we were checking somewhere else to go, so many people were refused entry too. To sum up the reason was clearly because of the fashion week, many people who did NOT RESERVE have been granted entry. We would have highly appreciated to have a cancellation call instead of a confirmation call in that morning. Visited in February read more

Food was awesome! Waiter service very good! Hostes - not very friendly. Got to restaurant 20 minutes early and she told us to wait outside even though there were a couple of chairs at the entrance. She retracted and we waited inside. Just very unfriendly. Other that that incident everything was worthy just a bit expensive read more

I went to the cabaret at Manko, I was hit in the head by one of the acrobats metal rod, had to get 6 stitches to my forehead at a french hospital. The staff lied about calling an ambulance, the security guards did nothing to help, I was severely bruised black and blue swollen eyes for next 2 weeks. I sent a letter to the owner Benjamin Patou at the MOMA GROUP in Paris and he has ignored me. GO AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

Great environment. The food is sooo good and the design of the place make you feel you wanna stay there for ever. there is always a lot happening and the cabaret is the piece of resistance. I ll get there again for a drink definitely if the food is too pricey. read more

Food is incredible and service was phenomenal. It's very pricey but you are in Paris and it's not everyday you come across a Peruvian restaurant here at this caliber. read more

I like this place. service is terrible like everywhere in Paris but food is really interesting, lite and fragrant. especially I highly recommend their ceviches. ambience is very comfortable, good music and nice public. I've been there twice and will come again. + if you like cocktails with tequila it's definitely your place! they know much more than tequila sunrises and even have special tequila cocktails menu :) read more

They seated us without reservation even though they were completely booked. Tried two kinds of ceviche and a slider. They were delicious. We were late for the set menu. Will go there for sure to try. read more

The food was good, the service was good, but it wasn't what I would call exceptional. Perhaps my expectations were set too high but I wasn't wowed by anything here. Nice décor but I wanted the food to be better. read more

1/ Restaurant - Waiter encourages consumption with no value added. unpleasant behavior when you shared your comments on food - good plates but expensive (dont worth the price) 2/ Show - Show started at 1:30am instead 12:30pm. Planning: 4 min "show", 30 min nightclud - creativity: no interest, aseptic (management told us because foreign people are not ready for burlesque but the nightclub The box in London & NYC exist and it remains really trendy and popular) 3/conclusion: 250€/person = cash burn for nothing better to have dinner in a 3* restaurant in Paris ! read more

The service was so bad they are so unorganized an even didn't have a chair to fit next to the table. So disappointed

We were sold on a cabaret show, paid €500 to get a table, for a badly made drag show, 3 hours later, with several breaks taken to prolong the supposed experience, we left so we don't endure the continuous torture of sitting thru the show any longer. read more

Loved this place! Cool/hip atmosphere. Tried it on a whim and lucked out that the last table was available at 8:00. The service was incredible. Our Turkish server (Great guy! We even could remember a bit of Turkish) went through the menu together with us to pick out the best selections for our taste. Everything was amazing! Awesome Pisco Sours and we have enjoyed the best in Chile. 2 different cerviches, quinoa salad, octopus, steak and vegetables for two. Loved all of the unique flavors. If we were in Paris over the weekend, we would have stayed for their cabaret. Beautiful intimate setting. Next time we are in Paris we will return! Thanks for a memorable dinner!!! read more
