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.

Creative · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

This modern restaurant reflects the chef's half-British, half-Filipino roots and Spanish influences, blending creativity with precision. The themed, seasonal set menus range from street food to film-inspired surprises; the experience is always evolving yet consistently refined. Expect layered, bold flavours and intricate presentations. An open kitchen and counter seats foster connection. The warm, professional service completes the dining experience.

El Poco Cantina (Malate)

Mexican

With tiled walls and graffiti art, this vibrant eatery exudes playfulness. A Frida Kahlo mural hints at the casual Mexican menu. Enjoy crispy and soft flour tortilla tacos with beef barbacoa or pork carnitas, perfectly paired with a horchata featuring sweet vanilla and cinnamon notes.

Cabel

Filipino · Bib

Housed in a listed 1930s building, this stylish institution is frequented by politicians and dignitaries. 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.

Your Local

asian · Bib

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.

3.3km

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.
