This curated selection invites diners to embark on a flavorful journey through regional Filipino dishes, each thoughtfully crafted to showcase unique ingredients and bold flavor combinations.
Starters
The meal begins with enticing starters designed to awaken the palate. The Pan De Igorot features a hearty blend of Igorot whole grain and wild rice bread, topped with a spicy coconut jam and creamy homemade Kesong Puti cheese. Another standout is the Okoy, a crispy vegetable fritter delicately balanced with bursts of trout roe, offering a delightful texture and oceanic pop.
Mains
Tadhanà’s mains are a celebration of bold flavors and inventive techniques, bringing Filipino classics to a new level. The Sinuglaw combines smoky grilled wagyu ceviche with silky uni and fragile kuzu and potato starch wafers for a layered bite.
