Automat

A fun, unpretentious dining experience exploring modern Manileño cuisine through communal plates and playful drinks, in a casual, neo-bistro setting
Automat remains the spirited, Manila- centric counterpart to Metiz, where chefs Stephan Duhesme and Arlo Gregorio offer an unpretentious take on Filipino cuisine. Transitioning from large shareable portions to a flexible small-plate format, the kitchen emphasises bold seasoning and meat- forward comfort. This evolution encourages a social experience, complemented by mixologist Ron Job Sanchez’s fermentation-focused cocktails. Grounded in the city’s daily rhythms, the neo- bistro provides a lively space where deep flavours and straightforward hospitality take centre stage.
Tatler Tip
If you are feeling adventurous, engage with the chefs at the counter to see if there are any experimental meat-forward creations or off-menu specials.
