FRESH PRODUCE / FARM TO TABLE
At Manta, we focus on the quality of our meat and our customers always know exactly where the meat is sourced. Our premium, home-grown beef means we deliver a farm-to-table dining experience for all of our customers, giving an unsurpassed taste that’s both quality-driven and exquisite.
Owner Rob Rubis feels passionate about the topic considering his 32 years in the hospitality industry and involvement in over 35 restaurants. “Manta prides itself on good quality produce sourced from reputable suppliers and the Rubis family property, Australia Grassfed Meats” says Rob.
AGM are producing premium grassfed, hormone free, MSA graded beef from their own properties and that of supplier farmers.
