  15. 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.

    About 80 kilometers from Manila, this Michelin-starred contemporary Spanish restaurant sits on nine hectares of open fields, its minimalist design nodding quietly to Taal Volcano on the horizon. A Spanish chef runs the kitchen, flying in ingredients from Spain to anchor dishes like house-aged Wagyu ham and roasted suckling pig. The drive alone is a commitment, which seems to put everyone inside in a remarkably agreeable mood.
