Where Wood‑Fire Cooking Meets Filipino Soul

- WOOD-FIRED WAGYU

WHEN SECRET LDN CALLED US “ONE OF LONDON’S MOST EXCITING NEW DINING EXPERIENCES,” IT FELT LIKE A REAL TURNING POINT. THEY CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF WHAT WE’RE BUILDING: A FILIPINO‑FRENCH BISTRO WHERE WOOD‑FIRE COOKING MEETS SOUL FOOD, AND FILIPINO INGREDIENTS ARE GIVEN ROOM TO GLOW.

FROM THE UBE TIRAMISU TO OUR BICOL‑EXPRESS SCALLOPS COOKED IN COCONUT CREAM, THEY FELT THE WARMTH AND CARE BEHIND EVERY DISH. OUR STEAK TARTARE WITH CURED YOLK AND NORI CRISPS WAS A HIGHLIGHT; A DISH THAT’S FRENCH AT HEART BUT DEEPLY FILIPINO IN ITS SOUL. AND OF COURSE, THE “MCFILLET OF DREAMS” (OUR COD-TEMPURA SLIDER) MADE AN APPEARANCE, BECAUSE WHAT’S A BELLY MENU WITHOUT A WINK?

WE WANT TO SHOW THAT FILIPINO FOOD DOESN’T HAVE TO STAY IN THE COMFORT ZONE. IT CAN BE SHARP, CLEAN, PLAYFUL AND TOTALLY AT HOME IN LONDON.
