1. Beso Beso
Location: Makati City
A reincarnation of its former Poblacion outpost, chef Rob Pengson’s Beso Beso excites an elegant evening with delicious Filipino-Spanish fare like mushroom adobo paella or empanadas stuffed with foie gras and eel. Located within Aleanza Institute of Arts, the intimate restaurant is strictly by reservations only.
Tatler Tip: while the tasting menu is Beso Beso’s main feat, you may opt for a more casual experience and request for tapas instead.
