Manila Opened July 2026

Thirty seats, Filipino flavours, a wine list that argues back

Chef Jorge Mendez wants to see how familiarity can be experienced in new ways. That means dishes you recognise, served in ways you don't expect, in a 30-seater at The Ignacia Place.

Thirty seats means it fills fast. Diliman isn't where most Metro Manila openings land, so the crowd skews local and the room stays quieter than the Makati equivalents. Skip the by-the-glass order and go for the wine pairings instead.
