An opulent decoration by Laura Gonzalez
Adjoining the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Manko sits enthroned in the former Drouot auction room, which some were able to see in particular in the film 'Orchestra seats' by Danièle Thompson… As soon as you enter, the tone is set! Gilding, velvet seats, tables in precious woods and other noble materials, the decoration in warm colors is signed by the star architect Laura Gonzalez, and combines perfectly the spirit of Peruvian bohemianism and Parisian chic.
The room is thus divided between large tables, perfect for groups of friends and small more intimate spaces for dates and other one-on-one business.
However, our favorite goes to the superb cebiches bar as well as the open kitchen, to admire the brigade of the Chef Melio get busy and get a kick out of it.
