MA/NA Mayfair

MA/NA opened in April 2026 at 30 Upper Grosvenor Street, the latest from Markus Thesleff's Thesleff Group. The interiors, by Los Angeles studio OV&CO with lighting design by dpa lighting consultants, work in warm amber tones and dark timber: a curved bar anchors the ground floor, a dragon-shaped banquette winds through the lounge, and a handblown Magma sculpture by EWE Studio hangs above the main dining room. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Leonard Tanyag, whose menu draws from Japanese technique and British sourcing. The bar programme, led by Pietro Collina (NoMad, Eleven Madison Park), runs on rare spirits, curated sake, and Japanese bartending precision.

The space moves through the evening in three phases. Guests arrive at the lounge and bar, step down to the main dining room for a tasting or à la carte menu, and the room shifts again after midnight: lighting dims, the music deepens, and a resident DJ takes over. The kitchen stays open until midnight; the bar licence runs until 1:30am Monday to Saturday. A separate private dining room seats up to 18 for chef-led experiences, and the full venue can be taken on exclusive hire for standing receptions of up to 300.

For private events, the combination of a proper sound-focused late-night programme already built into the venue and a kitchen that stays open to midnight makes MA/NA a strong candidate for DJ-led celebrations that begin with dinner and carry on. The wine room with its dedicated sommelier station operates as a quieter focal point for smaller groups, while the main restaurant and bar together give a DJ event genuine scale and atmosphere.
