Celera

Asian Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

"Celera" means "appetite" in Malay, and the sleek, dimly lit, black-toned dining space with an open kitchen delivers a moody ambience. Two chef-owners craft contemporary Asian dishes that draw on influences from Japan, China, Singapore and beyond. Diners can expect umami-rich creations using dashi, fermentation and subtle smoke. Artful plating and warmly hospitable service enhance the meal, making it a lively and sensory-driven experience worth seeking out.

The elegant interiors sport tiled floors, rattan chairs and a striking decor, with a lush garden and koi pond outside. The cuisine reflects the length and breadth of the Philippines, albeit with a penchant for southern Mindanao. Highlights include the crisp ukoy and richly spiced piyanggang manok. They also have a bar, café and private rooms.

This understated, centrally located eatery is buzzing! Behind an unassuming entrance, the neat space has butcher-tiled walls, exposed ceilings and wooden bistro-style tables. Your Local has its finger on the pulse, serving easy-going, wallet-friendly gastronomy including dishes that are ideal for sharing. Try the miso tuna tartare with gochujang and calamansi and the meltingly tender braised lamb shoulder with soy anise sauce – both packed with flavour.

Sarsa

filipino · Bib

Lunchtime sees this modest restaurant packed to the rafters. Marbled tiles, rattan lamps, simple wooden tables and casual seating make for a laid-back vibe. Green-accented walls and screen dividers offer structure, but the focus is firmly on flavour over form. Generous sharing portions of Filipino staples such as kinilaw and lechon manok are crowd-pleasers, while the turon a la mode is a sweet final flourish. Unfussy, authentic and excellent value.

Hálong

Fusion · Bib

Channelling years spent in Mexico – where she fell in love with the bold flavours, local traditions and spontaneity of street food – chef Cara Davis's cuisine has evolved from the structured world of haute cuisine. She now presents a freer, more multicultural and emotionally driven style in a menu that blends Latin American and Asian influences with finesse. Set in a space designed by her brother, Hálong brings a fresh perspective to Makati's dining scene.

Taquería Franco

Mexican · Bib

The playful French bulldog logo hints at the fusion inside this modern monochromatic taquería, where the soul of Mexico meets French culinary flair. The chef reimagines tacos through a Gallic lens, serving creations such as foie gras, steak frites and lamb bourguignon alongside beloved classics. It's an original take on tradition, served in a sleek, casual space in which the boundaries of taco culture are deliciously redrawn with confident charm.
