"This definitive fine dining experience in Makati presents Filipino flavors and native ingredients in new and unexpected ways, without intimidating its guests by keeping the vibe fun and casual. Diners can opt to eat a family-style kamayan feast, but those who want more experimental takes on Filipino food should roll with the seasonal, eight-course tasting menu." - Jasmine Ting
"Since opening in Makati in 2016, this restaurant has regularly been named the best in the Philippines by Asia’s food critics. Head chef and owner Jordy Navarra—an alum of the three-Michelin-starred Fat Duck in the UK and Hong Kong’s Bo Innovation—serves tasting menus that spotlight regional Filipino cuisines and fermentation methods, and his signature Bahay Kubo features the 18 garden vegetables listed in the Tagalog folk song of the same name." - Matt Ortile
"A Manila restaurant ranked number 42 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, Toyo Eatery’s chef Jordy Navarra will travel to San Francisco to collaborate with Abaca’s Francis Ang on a multi-course tasting menu taking place September 5 and 6 at Abaca, featuring items such as smoked wagyu kilawin with summer truffle toyo and black vinegar and seafood batil patong with egg drop, shrimp, squid, fish, and salmon roe; the menu at Abaca is priced at $125 per person, excluding taxes and gratuity." - Lauren Saria
"A Manila restaurant led by chef Jordy Navarra that treats banana ketchup poetically, beginning with bananas grown near Mount Pinatubo and combining them with onion, garlic, bay leaves and a bit of tomato for color, then seasoning with vinegar made from the peels. The kitchen elevates the condiment—listing banana ketchup on the menu as the dish name instead of the usual tortang talong—showing how the sauce can be central to a dish while reflecting local produce and provenance." - Bettina Makalintal
"Multi-award-winning Toyo Eatery (Asia’s 50 Best) and its attached bakery Toyo Panaderya continue to elevate Philippine cuisine with their progressive tasting menus that feature locally sourced ingredients and traditional cooking methods. Chef Jordy Navarra’s dishes constantly change depending on the season and ingredient availability, but every item is creative and resourceful. Plant-based and cocktail pairings are available. By reservation only." - Toni Potenciano
