MANKO

What MANKO does

MANKO is a single-location fine-dining and nightlife venue operating under MANKO MONTAIGNE SAS at 15 avenue Montaigne in Paris's 8th arrondissement. Founded in 2016, the restaurant specializes in Nikkei cuisine, a Peruvian-Japanese culinary fusion developed under Peruvian Chef Melio Oriundo Chavez, featuring a signature ceviche bar where tiraditos and cebiches are prepared to order and a cocktail program built around pisco, mezcal, and South American spirits. The venue transforms into a festive nightlife atmosphere from Thursday through Saturday evenings with live music and DJ performances, and operates a dedicated private events and venue privatization vertical for corporate and personal celebrations.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer restaurant with three core revenue streams: restaurant dining, beverage sales, and private event privatization. Customers book through the SevenRooms platform integrated with Google Ads, while corporate event inquiries are handled by a named commercial team via HS Forms. Pricing is transaction-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is part of the MOMA GROUP portfolio of premium Parisian restaurants, sharing group-level corporate functions, DPO oversight, and cross-venue reservation infrastructure with sister brands such as Bœuf sur le toit, Noto, Victoria, and Andia. Its go-to-market relies on the prestige of the Avenue Montaigne address, brand recognition in the Parisian luxury dining scene, a flamboyant gold-and-mosaic interior designed by Bureau Lacroix, and multilingual digital presence targeting both domestic and international clientele.

Direct peers

• Bœuf sur le Toit: MOMA GROUP's flagship Avenue Montaigne brasserie-cum-cabaret with the same dinner-then-live-music model and a similar SevenRooms reservation stack. Comparable on operating model, upscale positioning, and parent group's go-to-market.
• Sushisamba: Latin-Japanese-Nikkei fusion restaurant with locations in London, Miami, Las Vegas and Edinburgh. Similar fusion DNA, rooftop/nightlife positioning, and event-driven revenue mix.
• Chotto Matte: Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese fusion) restaurant group with locations in London, Toronto and Miami. Direct competitor concept; comparable on cuisine fusion, cocktail-led late-night programming, and event sales.
• Maido: Lima-based Nikkei tasting-menu restaurant consistently ranked in the World's 50 Best and frequently No. 1. Closest cuisine-identity benchmark globally; same Nikkei foundation as Manko.
• La Mar by Gaston Acurio: Gaston Acurio's Peruvian cebicheria concept with locations in Lima, Miami, Doha and Bahrain. Comparable on Peruvian cuisine, raw-bar (ceviche) focus, and upscale-but-approachable positioning.
• Noto Paris: Sister restaurant under MOMA GROUP operating on Avenue Montaigne with a similar premium Italian/Sicilian fine-dining and late-night format. Most directly comparable peer because it shares parent company, building infrastructure, and Avenue Montaigne foot-traffic.
• Café Lapérouse Concorde: Iconic Place de la Concorde brasserie also operated under the MOMA/BUTLER Collection umbrella and sharing Manko's SevenRooms booking stack. Comparable on Parisian premium address and group portfolio dynamics.

Broad incumbents
