Occupying the former Jet Cafe site, Manon's menus will echo classic French brasseries and be overseen by French-born head chef Thomas Boisselier.
The opening of Manon follows the team's successful launch of Lola’s in Bondi in 2021.
Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, Manon will also offer a late-night supper service on Fridays and Saturdays, with coffee and takeaway viennoiseries (pastries) and pain baguette (paninis) available from 6am.
The venue will accommodate 60 inside and 80 outside.
Co-owner Spinola said: “I have walked past the site for 24 years, dreaming of opening a grand cafe, which is why I am so thrilled to be in partnership with Marco to bring a French brasserie to the QVB.
"Manon will be a place to sit and people watch while enjoying French cuisine, giving customers a taste of the European lifestyle, whether it’s at breakfast before work, a long lunch or an ambient dinner.”
No idea what an ambient dinner is, but I'm just reporting the quote.
Head chef Boisselier brings over a decade of experience, having spent the last two years working in Lyon, most recently as deputy head chef at three-Michelin starred restaurant at the Hotel & Spa du Castellet.
The breakfast menu includes: egg meurette; crab on toast; pain perdu; and croque madame.
Lunch and dinner choices includes raw bar with oysters shucked to order and a caviar offering, along with saucisson brioche; bone marrow tartine; and steak frites.
The dinner menu further builds on the lunch menu with evening-only dishes such as crab bisque souffle, beef Wellington, canard a l’orange and a whole sole meunière.
The dessert menu features French classics including vanilla souffle and ile flottante.
The Manon wine list - initially crafted by now-departed sommelier Harry Hunter - spans 400 bottles, predominantly from France, with Gosset Champagne by the glass.
