Poblacion, Makati
A neo-Filipino bistro illuminating the Poblacion dining scene with ingredient-led dishes, French techniques, and Filipino soul. Michelin Bib Gourmand 2026.
Named after the Spanish word for lamp, Lampara lights the way in modern Filipino cuisine with inventive dishes rooted in tradition.
Classic Filipino flavors reimagined through French culinary techniques. Every dish is a celebration of local ingredients presented in exciting new ways.
Recognized for good quality, good value cooking. Lampara earned its Bib Gourmand distinction for approachable renditions of local flavors executed with creativity.
An eclectic bistro adorned with mismatched furniture and hanging lamps. The lights dim at 9 PM for an intimate nightcap experience on the terrace.
Chefs RJ Ramos and Alphonse Sotero lead the kitchen with a philosophy of deep respect for Filipino food. Their curated menu features five appetizers, five main courses, and three desserts — each one a Filipino classic reborn.
From Duck Leg Confit served three ways with duck liver pate in flaky empanada, to chilled silken Tofu topped with pork floss and pickled onions, every plate tells a story.
