Butcher Boy Manila in Salcedo Village in Makati offers a welcoming, lively space designed to reflect the fun, accessible atmosphere that has made its Singaporean counterpart so beloved. Butcher Boy is known for its playful fusion of Asian flavors and Western-style grill and features baos, small plates, and a mix of unique cocktails.

I met Andrew several years ago when he visited Manila for a collaboration dinner. Since then, I have visited his restaurants Cure and Butcher Boy in Singapore. At his Singapore restaurant, Cure, the Irish chef championed micro-seasonal produce, treating ingredients with utmost respect and employing refined techniques to extract the best flavors, which gave him a Michelin star in 2019. His philosophy of presenting ingredients at their purest continues with Butcher Boy, where the spotlight remains on bold flavors and unpretentious dining.
