Manuka (Plaza del Mar)

visited June 2024; the relaxed open air area was very enticing while the menu was full of gorgeous options for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike. The food did not take long to arrive and was gorgeous - being vegan the staff were able to confirm our choice as you can adapt meals to your preferences. Staff were polite and friendly enough. The little let down was the surrounding/adjacent premises/views - for example, you don't get to overlooking the sea and there is a run down shopping complex behind. Having said that, the actual restaurant seating is very nice and the area is relaxed. But the food definitely steals the show - it was absolutely gorgeous!

Healthy, tasty, and very fresh food! Delicious chai tea, I recommend the paleo breakfast and acai bowl!

Plant-based heaven food. What do you say about food that is made with so much love and kindness. The joy of eating and being in this restaurant today, that is something I will never forget. The couple that was sitting next to me, were so happy with their meals. The food here will change your lives.

The kindness and friendly staff at Manuka - Marbella - Plaza del Mar

Great food! This is healthy eating done right.
The restaurant has a lovely vibe and makes you feel very tropical despite being in a not so pretty shopping mall.
Honestly the food was so so good, will definitely come back.
(Coffee wasn’t strong enough!)

Quick, healthy and great portion sizes make this healthy option a great mid holiday cleanser!

The drinks menus is diverse and well priced, with many healthy, detoxifying options to choose from.

The food is superb and the menus clearly laid out with dietary pointers so that you don’t have to ask the fateful question... “is it vegan?”

Great location also.

Manuka is definitely my first choice here in Marbella. If you like a beautiful atmosphere, delicious food & drinks or good coffee. The service is great. Everyone who works there is so friendly and happy. Come here for good vibes and a good time.

Based on one meal, it warrants a 5/5 I will go back and amend if it falls below. The food was packed with flavour and prepared well, ambience was chilled, not rushed to leave, interacted with three servers and the tall one was a little distant but the other two were welcoming and helped with a food intolerance question. Smoothies were amazing. Our food and drinks were vegan and 5/5

The location and the vibe of the restaurant is just great. The service was wonderful, we enjoyed a long breakfast here and were asked multiple times if everything was alright, if we needed anything else and so on.
The food is fresh and delicious. We had the avocado toast, the pancakes, fresh green juice and coffees and payed around 30€.
A plus is that they offer lots of vegan options and have 3 different kinds of plant based milk to choose from, for your coffee. I would definitely recommend this place for a laid back breakfast or brunch.

Manuka is by far the best ‘healthy’ restaurant in and around Marbella. Every food that is one the menu will brighten up your day since it is delicious and good for you at the same time. Some of the waiters could be a little more energised and motivated but this is literally the only thing that could be improved at this place. Portion sizes are fair so that this the ideal place for athletes but also for people wishing to live a healthy lifestyle while not having to compromise on anything. This place puts a smile on your face everytime you go it is that good!

Wonderful coffee and although we did not have a meal I wish we had. The food looked amazing and very healthy. Next time. Excellent service too.

Best burger ever on the boulevard. Smashes 10/10 every f. Time. Also the thai me up chicken is very good but I don’t like coriander personally. A bit more expensive but hallelujah todo es muy bueno amigo.

Great healthy food. Many vegeterian option & nice brunch and really good cafe. Staff are really nice too. Inside is just a really good place for working on your laptop. Perfect location right by the beach . Went back more times really really satisfied.

Went in November and was very impressed with the quick service and quality of food. The prawns were huge and tasted great, good variety in the menu and plenty of healthy options. We were also sat outside and had great views in the sun with friendly staff. Would 100% recommend and definitely coming back the next time I visit Marbella.

Gorgeous place with a nice vibe, we sat outside in the shade, was very pleasant. Amazing food, super fresh, everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was very nice, moved the umbrella for us, recommended food options, gave us free coffee for writing reviews :) Kiara was awesome, so on top of things, very kind, gave us a free smoothie.
Would recommend, definitely, everything was delicious.

Delicious healthy foods. Love it. Love the protein power and the lemon cheesecake. Would definitely recommend it.

Very nice place, Manuka, not sure if it's still under the TerraSana label ??

Food is great and healthy, big portions and very tasty.. the smoothies and juices are really nice total health mode.

The staff seem a little overwhelmed with work all the time but as it's busy, it's expected.

Shame that the restaurant does not have any views of the sea , it would make it an awesome place to eat with the food they serve...

Awesome place for a nice brunch, the staff is very professional and flavors absolutely unique... I invite everybody to discover this place and try the cheating cola ;-)

Great place for healthy food options. I was there twice and it was both times super delicious. The service is fast and attentive, prices are reasonable. Location is OK. Truly recommended.

Beautiful healthy concious and so tasty experience in Marbella!!!

Great food. Lots of veggie bowls but also great burgers. And many gluten free options for coeliacs.
