Latin Manna

West End

Updated: Sep 25, 2025

Latin Manna is a quirky colourful Colombian restaurant located in an old West End cottage, next door to The Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar.

Don't be fooled by the rustic decor and laidback vibe of Latin Manna, because the food here is seriously good. 

Deck seating at Latin Manna West End

Diners can take a seat on the front verandah, on the covered back deck or in the cosy dining room next to the kitchen and partake in a menu of traditional dishes that are as delicious as they are authentic.

Start the day at Latin Manna with a traditional Colombian breakfast such as Calantedo (refried beans and rice with arepa, two fried eggs and chorizo), guacamole on toast, or Colombian style scrambled eggs (served on arepa).
