Since opening, it has consistently ranked in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, earning praise for its modern take on Filipino cuisine. In 2018, it won the <a href="https://www.miele.com/brand/en/a-journey-to-the-roots-of-taste-33996.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Miele One to Watch Award</a>, marking it as a rising star in the region. At the helm is <strong>Chef Jordy Navarra</strong>, a culinary visionary known for reinterpreting Filipino flavors with creativity and precision. </p><p>Toyo Eatery celebrates local ingredients and heritage through standout dishes like its iconic <strong>Three-Cut Pork BBQ</strong>, inspired by a classic Filipino children’s poem, and its beautifully plated <strong>Bahay Kubo Salad</strong>, which features all the vegetable ingredients listed in a Filipino folk song—a tribute to the country’s rich biodiversity.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:456px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1740452530399A50BR25-AOH-article4.png" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Chef Jordy Navarra | Toyo Eatery</span></span></span></div><p>The <strong>Gin Mare Art of Hospitality Award</strong> is a special recognition for excellence in restaurant service and dining experiences. According to the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants website:</p><p>“From the husband-wife duo Jordy and May Navarra, Toyo presents local Filipino ingredients in modern ways, playing with fermentation and preservation techniques to create a bold palate of flavours. With the unique Kamayan menu, guests are encouraged to ditch the cutlery and use their hands to enjoy a feast on banana leaves, creating a convivial atmosphere that encourages guests to be present at the table.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGeJ1JCo_YW/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=908&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A504560%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1257" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>“This comes with a happy byproduct, says head chef Jordy Navarra: “It makes your hands busy, this menu really brings us back to basics, where it’s no longer about what is trendy or what looks good on social media,” he explains. “We want to remind people that this is really about just having fun.”</p>
