“A pioneer in championing dishes from the Philippines” – this Kensington feature opened in 2016 and helped pave the way for what’s nowadays a healthy level of interest in the cuisine in the Capital. It’s named for a well-known Filipino diplomat whose grandchildren own the venture; and who also run a number of similarly branded cafés back home in Asia.

“Flying the flag for Philippine cuisine in the UK” – this “pioneering” Kensington fixture (owned by the grandchildren of a famous general) “was one of a handful of Filippino places when it opened” and its “consistently good” cooking and striking interior design has made it a good culinary ambassador, showcasing heirloom dishes from within the founding family. They also have three cafés under the same brand in the Philippines.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
