Off Menu by Tatler Dining is back! After an incredibly successful, sold-out launch in 2022, Tatler Dining’s innovative food festival makes its much-awaited return with Off Menu Philippines 2023. This two-day festival brings the Philippines a one-of-a-kind culinary experience where innovation knows no bounds. The event is designed to excite diners, whet appetites, and further ignite your love for food.
This year we have invited 14 stellar chefs and have teamed them up with one another to create 7 unbeatable pairs. These duos have worked in tandem to create an Off Menu dish for Tatler Dining, something you will not be able to find or taste at any of their restaurants.
When: 29-30 September, 2023
Where: Grand Ballroom, Shangri-La The Fort, Manila
Time: 6pm to 10pm
Ticket Price: PHP 6,500
