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.

Esmeralda Kitchen

This bright, plant-themed house-turned-restaurant is a warm and cheerful setting with vibrant green touches and cosy charm. With no formal training, the chef expanded from a bakery to the current setup. The menu revisits Filipino classics in refined, eye-catching ways. Dishes are rich and hearty, with flexible portions for solo diners or groups. Don't miss the pork dinuguan with puto; its bold, savoury depth with a hint of sweetness makes for a memorable meal.

Palm Grill (Diliman)

regional, filipino · Bib

Woven tablecloths and ethnic-inspired music set the tone in this cosy place. Expect warm hospitality and classic Southern Mindanao cuisine, which uses spices, acidity and roasted coconut for rich, intense flavours, for example the generously sized tiyula itum stew with beef simmered in coconut broth for a hint of acidity and smoky aroma. The Dulang – an exquisite platter of seven dishes in tasting portions – provides an excellent and varied introduction.

This roadside stall shaded by a tree has built up a following for its pancit batil patung, made to order in a small pot. In the standout lodi, the yolk of the soft-boiled egg ties together the miki noodles and crispy pork belly. The flavourful complimentary egg drop soup is the perfect match.
