	Manresa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manresa is the capital of the Bages comarca (county), located in the geographic centre of Catalonia and crossed by the river Cardener.
		In the 12th century Manresa was said to have contained 500 Jewish families, most of which lived in a narrow lane called "Grau dels Jueus," near the town hall; their cemetery, still called "Fossana dels Jueus," was outside the city.
		In the 13th and 14th centuries the Jews there were engaged in manufacturing, trading (including slaves), money-lending (at the rate of 20 per cent, the usual interest at that time), and in the cultivation of their vineyards and estates.

		Until I encountered Manresa Restaurant in Los Gatos, located over fifty miles South of San Francisco, I did not really appreciate what is intended to be conveyed by the star system employed by the famed Le Guide Michelin, often referred to as the gastronome’s bible for European restaurants.
		Manresa did not disappoint; featuring a multitude of perfectly balanced flavors, the food was, in a word, excellent.
		Upon arrival, we were seated promptly in a bright and open room with a number of tables, quite different from the deceptively cozy exterior of the building.

	The Observer \| Magazine \| Jay Rayner: Course célèbre
		From this side of the Atlantic it's easy to imagine that Thomas Keller of the French Laundry and Per Se, where I ate a mere 15 courses recently, is the only game in town.
		My friend Pim had recommended Manresa in Los Gatos, a wealthy Silicon Valley town an hour's drive south of her adopted home in San Francisco.
		As Pim knows not only her onions, but the entire allium family (she is regarded by her many friends as one of the best Thai cooks outside her native Thailand), it seemed a good bet.

		Someone once described Manresa as "The house of silence and sacred sod, where nobody speaks to anybody, and everybody speaks to God." That phrasing aptly describes the scene as I appreciate His glorious works before me.

		Forget Thomas Keller: David Kinch is the new chef to bow down to in the Bay Area.
		His restaurant, Manresa, is tucked away in an unobtrusive yellow bungalow on a sleepy side street in the wealthy enclave of Los Gatos, and was just named to this year’s list of Top 50 Restaurants in the World by Restaurant magazine.
		Some refer to it coyly as French Laundry South, but to call it that dismisses with a flick of the pen what might be the area’s brightest new star.

	How You Can Help Us At Manresa
		To ensure that Manresa can continue to be an island of spiritual hospice to all within a sea of materialism and distractions, Manresa's financial foundation needs to be improved and made solid.
		These gifts ensure that Manresa Jesuit Retreat House continues to be a very special place that is a refreshing source of Jesuit spirituality (rejuvenation, guidance, teaching, and comfort) for thousands of fellow Christians from all walks of life.
		Since Manresa is not subsidized in any way, and since not all of our retreatants are able to pay for their retreats, we rely on your usual generosity.
