About this space

The Downstairs Area is a Dining Room in Fu Manchu Oriental characterised by a compact, bar-front layout that keeps tables close and conversation immediate.

Design: The Downstairs Area pairs dark ceilings and polished floors with dense botanical-patterned wallpaper and timber seating, producing a compact, visually rich interior. The lighting is low and directional, keeping sightlines tight and the room feeling inward.

Features: The space has a direct kitchen pass that streamlines plated service. The space provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and natural light from street-level windows. The space includes step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets, and restaurant staff manage service and drinks while enforcing a noise restriction.

Ideal for: The Downstairs Area suits small, social groups seeking an intimate, seated dinner or a relaxed, conversational drinks-led gathering.

What sets it apart: A built-in PA system and permission to bring a DJ or run your own playlist give hosts direct control of the room’s music.

What guests say: The space is cosy and vibrant and receives warm, attentive service from the restaurant team. The space features upbeat but unobtrusive music that keeps the atmosphere lively without overpowering conversation.
