    Have been dining in Manuella ever since I was a little kid. The service and the food has certainly declined. Overall, the food was a 6/10 and the service a 5/10. We had all our food arrive within reasonable time except for one dish which arrived after we finished everything else and were too full to try it. I don’t like the fact that the bill comes in a open tray and that 3 waiters stand above your head while you pay - it was super awkward , uncomfortable and unprofessional.

    Been visiting this restaurant since I was a kid, the quality of food is still the same, tastes so good, the portions were great but the plating is really outdated and looks cheap.

    Its one of the top fish places in the area. The service is incredible and the speed of orders is high. The cuisine is not only for fish but u can have any kind of bbq and the prices are moderate. Its a very good experience each and every time.

    Impeccable service and magnificent tasting food. they offer season fruits, jams and coffee after the meal courtesy of the restaurant. Suitable for families and business dinners. Overlooks the sea, but a bit humid.

    Food is really great and their fried calamari is a must try. Their complimentary fruits is from another world!! The only reason I didn’t give the restaurant 5 stars is that their staff need to be more professional. Some of them kept looking at us especially while paying the bill to give them tips, totally understand that this is the culture in Lebanon but it shouldn’t be that embarrassing. Other than that, the restaurant is great.

    Was shocked when we first arrived, their stuff at the entrance were very unprofessional. They missed a client that was planning to book the place for a private family event. Well done. Update to the owner’s reply: The guys that were supposed to welcome us said : “ we can’t let you in, the whole place is booked for a confirmation party”. Even the guy working in the parking lot cross the street was surprised when we came back after a few minutes. - And yes, I’m a foreigner Good luck

    On a Sunday, our family dined at Manuella restaurant, renowned for its seafood offerings but also featuring BBQ and raw meat selections. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and the owner, and they ensured we had a pleasant seat with a beachfront view. This restaurant is conveniently situated on the main road in Jounieh, though its interior is somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization. The menu boasted a straightforward Lebanese food selection along with a diverse range of fish dishes. While the food arrived promptly and was both delicious and unique by its generosity, it didn't particularly stand out in terms of exceptional flavor. The service was impeccable, marked by professionalism and efficiency. The attentive waitstaff consistently ensured our glasses were filled and our culinary needs were met. For our party of six adults, we ordered a substantial meal that included 6 AJAJ fish (2 kgs), 2 servings of hummus, 1 tabouleh, 1 Fattoush, pastries, octopus provincial, calamari, and although we had a desire for the Bizri fish, it regrettably wasn't available that day. We complemented our meal with Arak. Post-meal, the restaurant pleasantly offered us complimentary fruits, accompanied by coffee and Turkish sweets. The final bill tallied up to $211, translating to around $35 per person, which we found to be a reasonable and fair price for the experience. Manuella is a family-friendly establishment, complete with a playground for children and clean restrooms equipped with dedicated changing trays for babies.

    Such a fantastic restaurant , we had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors that left me wanting more. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who made me feel welcome and attended to my needs throughout the meal. The ambiance was lovely, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere, a breathtaking view. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable meal in a memorable place .

  • 5/5 Yehia Z. 7 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Great location right on the sea. Food taste is amazing with proper quantities. Greatly recommend Note: I found it annoying that I had 3 servers behind me when receiving the change just for the tip, its a little pressuring (same went with the caf parking for the place).

  • 1/5 Mohamed S. 1 year ago on Google
    I usually not write reviews but in this situation I have to, this place is not supposed to be called a restaurant. It is totally a scam. For any fellow tourist I am advising you to not eat there. The food tastes bad, the service is awful and it is super expensive.

  • 1/5 Yawa F. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was a little less than ok, nothing special. Very overpriced though everything was too expensive for the quality and quantity you get.

  • 1/5 Josh P. 1 year ago on Google
    I would not recommend coming here as a foreigner. The food is very average, we had king prawns which were not fresh and also burnt, and a meat kebab which was dry and flavourless, but they will bring out items you did not ask for in an attempt to take advantage of foreigners, and then expect you to pay for them even if you did not eat them. The staff then got quite rude when we did not tip them, despite the awful service and mediocre food.

    What a wonderful experience. 15 years after coming back, great food, exceptional generosity, good food, and service. Thanks to Mr. Riad and Mrs. Margo, captain Ali and captain Abou Elie (Abou Kareem) for taking care of us. Prices are slightly expensive but worth the adventure. I will visit again and it is a highly recommended place.

    The food is absolutely delicious, the portions generous and the prices fair. The thyme salad, taboulé, kebbeh, ra'akat, makanek, patata harra. The coffee, the dessert. Everything was exquisite. The staff was kind and helpful. Our table was by the window, with a gorgeous seaview. It was my first time at Manuella. I saw the reviews and decided to give it a shot. Believe me, I will go there again and again.

    Still very good location and great view with nice kids area, but the food was not as good as used to be, most likely due to the depreciation of the local currency.

    I chose to visit Manuella at sunset as they have tables with an ocean view. The staff were very welcoming, very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. The food was great, drinks were fairly priced. Would recommend to anyone 10/10 must go again!

    portion size was great but plating wise didnt look that appitizing and looks cheap, and also the waiter keeps holding the bill and barely makes you see it waiting for his tip. The tajin tasted very bad too much tahini and the fattouch was tasteless.
