Weve spoken with some of you already, but its time to make it official. Its
with a heavy heart, but excitement for the future, that we have decided to
close our Prestwich restaurant ahead of a move to the city centre.
Being fully transparent - weve struggled to find experienced staff, leaving us
with little to no personal life. We have made the decision to move on to what
we hope will be a more sustainable business that can grow, and allow us
more time to follow our dreams. This is by no means the end of OSMA.
Were optimistic, but its bittersweet. After (almost!) five years we have met
so many amazing and incredible people, who were proud to call our friends
and OSMA family. So many of you have kept coming back week after week -
we feel honoured and so grateful for your company. There have been hard
days over the years and your kindness, patience and good moods have made
such an impact on us to keep pushing forward. Thank you!
Of course, we wouldnt be able to do what we do without our one-of-a-kind
staff. Your efforts make OSMA what it is. Even when so understaffed, you all
keep moving and help each other get through the day as a team. Theres not
many of you, but what you guys can achieve is incredible!
Lastly, we want to thank our landlord, Tony Freeman, for taking a risk on two
26-year-old girls wanting to open a restaurant. OSMA wouldnt be here today
without him believing in us. You will live on in our memory forever.
Our last day of service will be Sunday, 9th February. Bookings are open now
and wed love to see as many of you as possible before we go. Stay tuned on
our socials as well be throwing a leaving party, too.
A little housekeeping gift cards bought after the 9th of Feb 2024 may be
refunded to the original payment method, or extended to use at our new site
(to be valid for one year after the opening date). Our Kitchen at Exhibition
on Peter Street will also remain open as usual, so please dont be a stranger.
We appreciate every single one of you and well be back before you know
it!
Love Dani & Fie x
Harden's says
Chef Danielle Heron, who has worked at L'Enclume and Maaemo in Oslo, opened her first solo venture, serving "Scandinavian-style open sandwiches and hearty salads", with evening meals served four nights a week. The name comes from Osla and Manchester, the home cities of Danielle and co-owner Sofie Stoermann-Naess.

Summary
Dark greige and blond wood abound at this ‘Scandinavian Neighbourhood Bar & Restaurant’ in the boonies of North Manchester, which is celebrating its fifth year in 2025. It’s run by chef Danielle Heron and business partner Sofie Götberg, and even those who say “it’s not in a very prepossessing location and has a fairly plain interior” feel “the food is worth a visit”. That’s the least enthusiastic report! Feedback from locals suggests it does exactly what it sets out to: “with a changing weekly menu, the food at Osma is fantastic. Danielle and her team work really hard to bring creative dishes in taster-style portions to my local area. Front of house service is professional and welcoming, with staff knowledgeable on the food and wine they serve”.
For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
