Mantra Restaurant and Bar

Offering a better-than-most hotel dining experience, in the pleasant surrounds of the Amari, the Mantra has an eclectic menu of Asian and European cuisines. Despite its age, this restaurant still holds its own, and everything is prepared in seven open kitchens with two stories of dining space overlooking the fashionable dining room. The walk-in wine cellar carries 160 different varieties and offers something for every taste and budget—a rare treat in a country that imposes hefty taxes on wine. The Sunday brunch is a particularly fun event with Alaskan crab, roasts, cheese, and more for 1,990B. The dress code is “chic, smart, and stylish,” so that means no shorts, tank tops, or sandals.
