Manaw · Restaurant · Mexico City
Thai restaurant in a 1942 heritage house facing Lincoln Park in Polanco
Manaw is a Thai restaurant inside a 1942 residence on Avenida Emilio Castelar in Polanco, a house listed as historic heritage. The terrace looks out over Lincoln Park, and it is the seat most people ask for.
The menu covers Thai classics: pad thai, sticky rice, chor muang dumplings, and a tom yum soup that the newspaper Reforma praised for ingredients that orchestrate an explosion of flavor and an aroma that fills the table. The kitchen also runs a broader contemporary Asian line alongside the Thai canon. Cocktails, wine and beer come from a full bar, and there are vegan, gluten-free and kosher options. Takeout is available, and the restaurant makes a point of its sourcing, describing the ingredients it cooks with as the highest quality it can get.
The room is casual elegant and suits a date, friends or a family dinner, with a smart casual dress code. It is non-smoking throughout and dog friendly, and parking is on the street. Manaw opens at 1 p.m. daily, closing at 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and at 10 p.m. on Sunday. Reserve through OpenTable.
Address: Av. Emilio Castelar 149, Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo, 11560 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico, Mexico City
