The Black Bean

International   |   $ $ $ $   |   Makati, Philippines

This cosy, comfy café turns into a lively watering hole for cocktails and hearty plates come sundown

 

The brainchild of Christian Paul Casino and Omu Toledo-Camus, The Black Bean provides a safe space for brunch enthusiasts on the hunt for well-made coffee and comfort food. Order one of their timeless specialities like fish and chips, or explore some of their more unconventional creations such as the bibingka French toast. Pair your meal with a cocktail, or a unique coffee beverage like the Mozart with cold brew, peach, elderflower, and lemon, and get ready to feast.

Tatler Tip

Do save room for dessert, as their luscious frozen calamansi pie is a certified must-try.
