Why We Like It
Located right above Hiraya, Kayu is where chef Paolo Dungca reimagines his Filipino background into singular tasting and à la carte menus. Think cassava cakes with crab fat, lardo, and smoked trout roe; crispy pig’s ear salad with fish sauce vinaigrette, and eggplant with roasted peanut sauce. Pro tip: If you really want to go all out, book the chef’s tasting menu at the counter.
