The 2023 Tatler Dining Guide is here and profiles over 200 of the best restaurants in the Philippines. Flip through our pages for your insider guide on what to order at these top eateries and for Tatler Tips on off-menu dishes, the most coveted tables, plus playful comments to boot.

The Tatler Dining Guide 2023 is the largest book we have put together to date, packed with a wealth of insights and scrumptious discoveries that you must not miss! This year is the first time since the pandemic that we have brought back dine-in reviews. With the help of a re-vamped list of reviewers, the Tatler Dining team tried, tested, reviewed, and yes, even vetoed restaurants in order to create a strong, and impactful list for our readers.

This year, we excitedly bring back the sought-after Tatler Dining 20 list featuring 20 of the most exemplary restaurants in the country,
as decided upon by the Tatler Dining editorial team and a panel of
esteemed voters comprised of F&B industry experts and well-known food authorities. We also proudly reveal our seven special awards which recognise the best of class in the Philippine dining scene.

In this year’s Tatler Dining Guide, the team, with the help of our
esteemed (anonymous) panel of experts, have voted and curated a strong list of the best restaurants in the Philippines. Flip through our juicy pages and 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. While at it, dig into our meaty features to uncover what top chefs and restaurateurs think make a ‘best dining experience’ or what advice they would give to their younger selves. Read on to learn about why chefs hate the word fusion and also get a deeper understanding of the savoury cocktail trend.

Tatler Philippines brings back the pocket guide to the finest restaurants in the country, which is now called as The Tatler Dining Guide. This 2022 edition is not based on dine-in reviews as in the years past, but rely on the experience and recommendations of experts and aficionados to bring together a comprehensive listing of the best restaurants and bars in the Philippines.

In this volume, we tried and tested the best rosés and warm weather sips for you in Think Pink, and Summer Wines, respectively. In From Pots to Pages, we recommend
four Filipino-produced books that should be on your shelves (or in your kitchen!). Lastly, we had a good look at the country’s most beautiful ancestral properties, which have either been turned into restaurants or charming event spaces in Dine Down Memory Lane.

For a quick and easy reference to the overall dining experience of the 203 restaurants listed in this guide (it must be mentioned this is the most we’ve had ever!), each restaurant has been rated in four key areas—setting, food, wine, and service. The system is employed year-round by all T.Dining reviewers, whether they are appraising a restaurant for the guide or for the latest review published on Philtatlerdining.com.

In this 15th edition of T.Dining’s Best Restaurant Guide (BRG), we left no culinary stone unturned, diligently exploring the Philippines’ dining landscape, from swanky white table-clothed establishments to casual cafés and delis, and all the true blue bistros in between. We also ran through the entire gamut of the country’s best bars, starting with the sexiest speakeasies to sky-high venues with a dizzying view. 

Moving onto the guide, for a quick and easy reference to the overall dining experience of the 173 restaurants listed, each restaurant has been rated in four key areas—setting, food, wine, and service. The ratings are displayed at the bottom of each review through the use of easy-to-read symbols. These are rated on a scale of one to 10, and take into account a myriad of factors related to the dining experience.

For 14 years, Philippine Tatler’s definitive guide to the country’s dynamic culinary scene has been on the shelf of every gourmand, oenophile and discerning sophisticate. This year, the Best Restaurants Guide (BRG) is back with a well-curated list of the Philippines’ best restaurants and bars, as well as must-try dining establishments and up and coming trends and products. The latest edition comprises reviews of 173 restaurants covering a diverse mix of cuisines. Besides the annual unveiling of the Top 20 restaurants, we added four speciality "Best Of Class" awards. What’s more in this year’s edition? A round up of the top 10 wines of 2017 by esteemed wine critic, James Suckling, a review of No.3 London Dry and Ungava gins, and a list of some of the best local craft beers and where to find them. Moreover, we tried and tested the best third wave cafés in the metro and got up close and personal with some of Philippine Tatler’s culinary Gen T-lister influencers.

Now on its 13th year, the Philippine Tatler Best Restaurants Guide presents a well-deserving list of 172 culinary gems (whether fine dining or casual chic establishments) across every cuisine classification imaginable. 

We keep you clued in on what is trending in the F&B landscape with updated and comprehensive reviews, insightful features on novel food movements and, as always, a round up of the hippest bars in the city. For starters, wine and cigar critic and European Bureau Chief of Wine Spectator, James Suckling, takes us on a heady Tuscan trip and picks his favourite reds and whites from the region. Christopher DeWolf, meanwhile, gets to know some rare and elusive Japanese whiskies and single malts.

Lastly, for the second year in a row, we are excited to present the Top 20 Restaurants, which the BRG’s reviewers and expert editorial panel deliberated and voted on until we finally arrived at the brightest stars in the dining scene.

For 12 years now, BRG has delivered comprehensive reviews of the most outstanding local restaurants from across Metro Manila and beyond, running the gamut from French haute cuisine and trendy Spanish tapas, to Japanese classics, Chinese dim sum and traditional Filipino favourites.

This latest edition, BRG 2016, is an all-new, integrated multi-media concept comprising both the book as well as an online and social media presence that will be constantly updated throughout the year.
