Celera

Manila, Philippines

• No.100 Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026

Edenic presentation is the hallmark of Celera. Wicker chairs, richly grained wooden tables and woven light fittings set the stage for an immersive meal that helps define modern Filipino fine dining. Nostalgic flavours are honoured through a commitment to local ingredients, traditional preservation techniques and fermentation. Delicately painted ceramics, clay bowls and wooden trays provide the canvas for meticulously arranged dishes, such as seven-day aged squab grilled on the crown and served with duck liver velouté, wilted spinach and daikon foam. Innovation extends to dessert, where creations like airy dill meringue and soy creme caramel offer a thoughtful finale to the experience. Expect inventive, out-of-the-box combinations that balance flavour and heritage without unnecessary theatrics.
