About

Holder of a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand designation, Atelier Manna in Encinitas's Leucadia runs a chef-driven brunch program from a covered courtyard at 1076 North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas. The kitchen builds its rotating menu around locally sourced seasonal ingredients — a farm-to-table sourcing model rooted in the same Leucadia corridor where Pannikin Coffee & Tea has operated since 1968. Signature plates include Turkish-style eggs with house-made accompaniments and grilled Salmon Creek Farms pork rack with a tableside pour of pomegranate-infused jus, alongside a zero-proof cocktail program that replaces conventional bar beverages with craft mocktails and loose-leaf teas. That emphasis on culinary technique over volume sets the kitchen apart on a Leucadia stretch also known for Trattoria I Trulli's wood-fired Italian program. The dining room seats guests on furniture crafted from recycled and upcycled materials, and reservations through Tock are standard given the limited-capacity courtyard layout. The most complex preparation involves locally caught halibut finished with sudachi citrus and coconut leche de tigre, a ceviche-cure technique requiring precise acid-to-protein ratios and controlled cold-holding temperatures throughout service.
