Discover worthwhile wines and chefs on the rise at this Katipunan wine bar
Toka Wine (Quezon City) has become a popular watering hole for oenophiles and foodies alike. Focused on quality, mid-range wines from small producers, Butz Tenchavez hopes to fill a section of the market that has often been overlooked. On the food front, they offer a lean but thoughtful selection of unfussy and timeless shareplates—but it’s their quarterly “Will Host” series that really has people talking. Here, Tenchavez features up-and-coming culinary talents for a kitchen takeover, granting eager chefs a helpful platform while giving Toka’s clientele a chance to try some of the Metro’s exciting new concepts.
