Southbank Café + Lounge

Expect the unexpected at this Melbourne-inspired café and lounge, where surprising flavour profiles form the backbone of their drinks

 

Southbank Café + Lounge brings Melbourne’s vibrant café culture and sophisticated bar scene to Metro Manila. Their drinks menu mirrors the rhythm of the day, thoughtfully arranged into four categories— café, breakfast, mains, and lounge—creating a seamless dialogue between plate and glass. Meanwhile, chef Martin Espiritu helms the kitchen with bold yet approachable cuisine. The space gracefully transitions from a warm café serving speciality coffee and comforting fare to an intimate lounge offering inventive cocktails and refined bites.

Tatler Tip

Keep an eye out and mark your calendars: Southbank throws annual anniversary celebrations for its three locations in BGC, Pasig, and Alabang, featuring DJs, guest bartenders and other fun surprises.
