Taguig 一卧室带阳台酒店，靠近 BGC

Located in The Alley, a buzzing part of Karrivin, this discreet gem blends intimacy with finesse. Ring the bell to enter a chic space in which a sculptural marble counter seats eight facing the open kitchen. Light floors, wooden slats and a textured feature wall add modern charm. Chef JP Cruz reimagines Filipino cuisine with flair. Standouts include yellowtail amberjack and choco tarte – delivered with seamless, warm interaction in a calm, elegant setting.

"Toyo", Tagalog for "soy sauce", hints at the restaurant's appreciation of apparently simple items that in fact take time and are complex to craft. Ingredients are sourced exclusively from the Philippines; fermenting and preserving is done on site. The chef balances seasoning – soy, vinegar and fish sauce – to enhance the dishes and highlight the natural flavours. For a traditional experience, try kamayan: a shared meal served on banana leaf, eaten with your hands.

"Hapag", meaning "family table" in Tagalog, is led by a team of young chefs aspiring to reimagine Filipino cuisine with finesse. Tapping into the full potential of local ingredients, they bring a modern, sophisticated touch to traditional dishes. This inventive approach honours regional recipes and time-honoured methods, while challenging expectations and blurring culinary boundaries for a fresh and exciting perspective on Filipino flavours.

Exposed brick, bright colours and warm lighting make this a vibrant and inviting setting. The menu hones in on North Indian cuisine – rich, spiced and hearty fare. Ranging from traditional snacks to a variety of curries, dishes include butter chicken, dal makhani and the standout mutton bhuna masala, which is slow cooked to tender perfection. Don't miss the naan baked in a tandoor for a chewy texture and smoky aroma that complements the flavours beautifully.

Step into this tranquil oasis of straw cloche lamps, lush greenery and shell-lined walls evoking beachside charm. Chef Isip draws on French technique and global influences – from Latin America to Southeast Asia – and makes good use of the wood fire. Local ingredients go into expressive, refined dishes. Order a tasting menu and dine on the breezy terrace or sit at the counter and enjoy à la carte creativity and a front-row seat to the action in the open kitchen.

Led by chef Fernando Alcalá Garaizábal of Kava in Marbella, Bolero charms with its Spanish soul. The largely Spanish menu is laced with Mediterranean notes and the odd global influence – built for sharing, generous portions make for great value. Start with a cocktail from the extensive list. Dishes such as coal-grilled Ibérico presa and ribeye empanadas impress, but the highlight is a decadent, molten-centred cheesecake – an award-winner in Spain.

Located on a corner of BGC, this restaurant brings typical Filipino flavours into a modern setting. The menu includes a well-balanced selection of meat, seafood and vegetable dishes, but their signature dish is cochinillo (hence "Cochi"). This roasted suckling pig marinated in 12 herbs and spices and slow cooked for 3 hours is served in generous portions – a festive, shareable dish that comes with a little tableside theatre for good measure.
