MÄNI’S ON FAIRFAX MAKES dineLA RESTAURANT WEEK DEBUT
Hollywood eatery-to-the-stars invites LA to take a bite of their specially priced lunch & dinner menus during two-week event

Los Angeles, CA (January, 2008) – Mäni’s on Fairfax, http://www.manisonfairfax.com, the celebrated café specializing in deliciously healthy baked goods and cuisine, announced its dineLA Restaurant Week debut. The annual event introduces diners to the vast array of restaurants in neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles County for two consecutive weeks: January 27 – February 1, 2008, and February 3 – February 8, 2008.

Known for pioneering the guilt-free dessert movement with their wholesome cooking free of additives, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, Mäni’s is much more than just a bakery. The café offers breakfast, lunch and dinner using the same philosophy applied to its sought-after sugar-free sweets: nutritious versions of gourmet foods for the health conscious foodie.

“Participating in dineLA Restaurant Week officially puts us on the culinary map.” says founder and CEO Larry Maiman. “We have been taken seriously as a bakery for years and we’re ready for the restaurant to get the same attention. We’re excited that dineLA will introduce Mäni’s cuisine to a new clientele.”

Encouraging Angelinos to experience all the town has to offer in culinary excellence, dineLA Restaurant Week presents a selection of specially priced, three-course menus from some of LA’s best eateries. Mäni’s refuses to let the term “pre-fix” limit the restaurant’s offerings for the two-week event. Customers will have diverse options for first, second, and third course fare, priced at only $15 for lunch and $25 for dinner. The extensive menu can be mixed and matched for infinite possibilities. Appetizers such as Mäni’s famous Vegetarian or Turkey Chili, fresh soup of the day or Caesar salad caters to any appetite. An endless list of entrees including Mäni’s burgers, gourmet salads or mouth-watering sandwiches will satisfy any craving. Icing on the cake: one of Mäni’s famous desserts to top off the meal.

Since 1989 Mäni’s on Fairfax has been satisfying discriminating palates and sweet-tooths alike. The restaurant has become a favorite for the Hollywood community and is frequently called upon by industry A-listers as the dining spot of choice. Offering a comfortable and engaging environment, the café is the perfect backdrop for LA dining at its best. In 2005 Mäni’s responded to growing customer interest by launching http://www.manisblogcafe.com, an educational site dedicated to offering nutritional, lifestyle and health information about Mäni’s cuisine.

The blog also allows Mäni’s guests to interact with their opinions and feedback. The restaurant’s uncompromising commitment to providing wholesome gourmet food made from the most high-quality ingredients has resulted in its simple motto: Good & Good For You. Mäni’s is open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert inside the comfortable dining room or coveted outdoor patio. Sunday-Thursday 8AM-11PM, Friday-Saturday, 8AM-Midnight. Coffee and morning pastries from 6:30AM Monday-Friday, 7AM on Saturday and 7:30AM on Sundays.
