The Top 100 Places to Eat Near The Test Kitchen

  1. Rank 1. Hapag

    Modern Filipino


  2. Rank 2. Kása Palma

    Contemporary Filipino





  3. Rank 6. 12/10

    Contemporary Japanese


  4. Rank 7. Ayà

    Contemporary Filipino



  5. Rank 9. Lampara

    Filipino








  6. Rank 16. Brick Corner

    North Indian


  7. A small-format pizzeria in Salcedo Village where the menu runs through several distinct dough styles at once, because committing to just one felt like leaving options on the table. The team behind it includes a dough obsessive, a wine-by-the-glass obsessive, and a chef shaped by years in Japanese kitchens, which explains the range. Ranked fifth in Asia-Pacific and 28th on 50 Top Pizza World, if you need the shorthand.







  8. Rank 23. Goxo

    Basque

  28. Rank 71. Cirkulo

    Spanish



  29. A 20-seat contemporary tasting menu restaurant in Legazpi Village where the kitchen runs on a zero-waste, plant-forward philosophy without ever feeling preachy about it. The menu shifts constantly, pulling from local produce and whatever the chefs are currently obsessed with. Minimalist room, focused cooking, the kind of dinner where you eat things you couldn't have predicted ordering. The Michelin Guide has it on their radar.
