Metiz

Makati, Philippines

• No.48 Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2023

Deriving its moniker from the French ‘mestizo’, a term used to describe those people of mixed Filipino and foreign heritage, Metiz’s name defines its ideology. Opened in 2019 by the half-French, half-Filipino chef Stephan Duhesme, this Makati restaurant embraces its mixed background to celebrate Philippine gastronomy and the nation’s profound larder through the touches of France. Within its eight-course tasting menu, expect a range of lesser-known ingredients bolstered by Duhesme’s mastery of fermentation. Think punchy aged tanigue (mackerel) with fermented rice and mushrooms, or banana leaf cake with rice and white beans. Service is slick and steady within its effortlessly cool narrow walls, with each seat offering front-row seats to the kitchen brigade’s smooth operation.
