  27. 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.

    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.
