Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Wow. The best breakfast I have ever had. Highly recommend the Turkish egg dish and adding steak. Yum! The grain/porridge bowl was also delicious and very unique. Hearty. The french toast was fabulous but also really rich and definitely heavy on the cheesecake aspect. The tonic drinks are outstanding and I also loved the orange wine. Atmosphere felt like I was on a beach vacation!

First time visiting. This is a must visit for all food lovers who also appreciates quality Californian ingredients. I had all tonics on the menu, the Turkish eggs & the Spanish French toast. Absolutely yummy! I was super nervous to try the French toast so a super sweet couple sitting next to me shared some their French toast with me & I’m so glad they did. I’ll be coming back for sure for the French toast! I absolutely loved the ambience and customer service. I felt at home and I can’t say that for half of the restaurants in San Diego. Definitely a must visit! I highly recommend! I will definitely return!! Reservation is better but not required Accepts Applepay Free street parking Most seating are outside so bring a jacket

Atelier Manna in Leucadia feels like a modern day atelier in the truest sense, calm, design forward, and incredibly intentional about every choice, from the handcrafted plates to the way the menu is built around nourishment and “healing” ingredients. We ordered the Turkish eggs, the Manna bowl with smoked salmon, and a side of hanger steak. The Turkish eggs were the star, silky poached eggs over cool herbed yogurt with that chili garlic butter that makes you want extra toast. The Manna bowl was clean and balanced, and the smoked salmon add on made it feel like a full meal without getting heavy. The hanger steak side was a smart add, simple, well cooked, and genuinely high quality. Dessert was strong. The pistachio bread pudding is rich and cozy, and I loved the little pops of fruit like the kiwi that keep it feeling bright, not just sweet on sweet. The Greek yogurt panna cotta is the perfect contrast, light, tangy, and refreshing. We also got to meet Laura and the chef, and the thoughtfulness really shows in how the menu is put together and how seriously they take sourcing, especially the fresh vegetables coming from Sage Hill Farm.
