Opening its doors to partyphiles and gourmands alike is Café Naya, where one may get a taste of sumptuous coastal cuisine with the country’s first pool club at its background.
Complementing the laid back vibe of The Palace Pool Club is Café Naya where diners may get a taste of Mediterranean, Northern African, and European island cooking. With its tropical ambience and seafood culinary fare, Café Naya transports guests to the coasts of the Pacific and Mediterranean despite being in the midst of the bustling city.
With its executive chef Mikko Reyes at its helm, the chic café treats diners with an indulgent array of dishes of the freshest ingredients perfect for midnight eats, a quiet lunch, or an after-work happy hour.
For starters, diners are invited to tease their palates with either a Blue Marlin Ceviche or a Carabao’s Milk Burrata. The Mezze Platter with hummus, roasted eggplant and chevre, spiced crab, cherry tomato and mint served with pita bread is a must-try, not to mention the mouthwatering Uni and Ricotta served with brioche, honey soy, and fried kale.

Diners may indulged themselves with the selection of pasta choices such as truffled clams, braised pork cheek, pulled duck confit, uni mac n’ cheese, and fennel sausage lasagna. But be sure to have some space left for any of the blue Marlin, glazed pork belly, and the flavourful 24 hour shortribs for the main course.
Café Naya also has a selection of sandwiches and wraps, pizza, rolls, sashimis, and sushis. Also, diners may enjoy the afterhours with the café’s all day breakfast selections, such as pork belly tapa, cured salmon egg benny, prosciutto hash, steak and eggs, sausage baked eggs, and the crab and goat cheese scramble with lumpfish caviar and ciabatta.
