The year that was proved to be nothing short of delicious, thanks to the F&B industry’s rebounding, snapping back to its glorious fighting form. Restaurateurs and chefs tickled our fancies with bold menus, dynamic collaborations, and impressive new concepts making their mark on the scene. From pop-ups to four-hands events, bar crawls, and drinks pairings, the dining industry was bubbling with activity and showed no signs of slowing down.

In this year’s Tatler Dining Guide, the team, with the help of our esteemed (anonymous) panel of experts, has voted and curated a strong list of the best restaurants in the Philippines. Grab a copy to find out which 20 restaurants have been named the cream of the crop, and who have earned the recognition of our Best of the Year special awards. 

The annual Tatler Dining Awards is a cause for celebration and this year was no different.

More from this week’s lineup:

• Chef Jorge Mendez opens a new Thai concept in QC called Some Thai
• Milka Romero tells us how she’s expanding the Miro Group's F&B portfolio
