Tatler Dining Kitchen’s two-night only pop-up with chefs JP Cruz and Chele González

At Tatler Dining Kitchen, expect new and exciting dishes you won’t be able to try anywhere else and have not tasted at any of their restaurants. Both chefs are seasoned collab veterans, having engaged in countless partnerships with peers around the globe through the years, but have never done a four-hands dinner with one another. Be sure to buckle up and prepare for a range of surprising and deliciously curious creations from this duo’s first duet. “I have seen JP grow so much over the years. He is a great chef! Collaborations give me the opportunity to learn, and I feel inspired by JP’s philosophy and art of cooking,” González says about his partner. 

“Chef Chele has been a pillar in pushing Philippine gastronomy forward, and it’s an honour to work with him. I’ve always admired his unique way of exploring local ingredients and techniques. More than that, he’s a great friend and has been genuinely supportive of our work—making this collaboration feel natural and meaningful,” Cruz relates.

Cruz also notes that “this is Inato’s first full-menu collaboration with a local chef, which makes it particularly special. While every collaboration is unique, this one stands out because it showcases both of our experiences, perspectives, and styles.”

“A great collab menu happens when both chefs and teams are enjoying themselves in the kitchen. Both teams have to match each other’s energy and give so much to one another, then this will translate to the guests through a unique and meaningful menu that showcases two philosophies merging together,” González shares from experience.

With only 50 seats per night, the pop-up is intimate and highly sought after. Be sure to reserve your seat as soon as possible, but if you are unable to secure a table, we can add you to your waitlist. Each reservation to this 7-course dinner comes complete with unlimited red wine, white wine, bubbly, plus three cocktails and tasty giveaways to boot!  

Tatler Dining Kitchen with chefs JP Cruz and Chele González is co-presented by Security Bank.
