There’s a dining experience in the suburbs of Manchester that you need to try. Tucked away off Bury New Road in Prestwich is a restaurant you’ll struggle to forget - and no I’m not talking about Karen’s Diner.
Its neighbour, Scandi-influenced, Michelin-rated OSMA is the creation of Sofie Stoermann-Nass and Danielle Heron - an amalgamation of the pair’s hometowns of Oslo and Manchester. Taking over a former kitchen showroom, the restaurant launched in late 2020, and is heavily influenced by Danielle’s impressive culinary CV and time spent in Norway.
The Whitefield-born chef honed her skills at Simon Rogan’s two Michelin-starred L'Enclume in the Lake District before heading to Maaemo in Oslo, holder of three stars. It was while working at another restaurant in the city that she met her partner Sofie and the groundwork for a venture back in Manchester was laid.
