Expect nothing less than the surreal and otherworldly from the city that lets you dream with eyes wide open.

French and Spanish influenced dishes from the Basque country are prepared with Asian ingredients and techniques for a truly different take on Spanish cuisine, a cuisine Filipinos are inherently familiar with. Come with a fresh palate and a readiness to experience culinary creations that appear to be more art than feast.
“There are no limits in creating, no limits, for the endless quest for perfection, no limits in our obsession for details, no limits for one´s dreams, because, once you set a limit upon your dreams, you will stop living those dreams, “ Negreira stated on his philosophy in the kitchen.
