Toyo Eatery Philippines Menu Prices 2026
If you’re planning a visit to one of Manila’s most talked-about restaurants, checking Toyo Eatery Philippines menu prices ahead of time will help you decide which dining format fits your budget and your evening. Unlike most restaurants, Toyo Eatery doesn’t run on an a la carte menu you can mix and match it’s built around two set dining experiences, and knowing what each one costs (and includes) makes booking a lot easier.
Toyo Eatery is a Filipino fine-dining restaurant helmed by chef Jordy Navarra and his wife, May, tucked into The Alley at Karrivin in Makati. It earned a spot on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for several years running and was awarded a Michelin Star in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Manila and Environs & Cebu 2026.
Updated Menu Prices
Toyo Eatery offers two distinct dining experiences rather than an itemized menu. Both are priced per person and are inclusive of 12% VAT but exclusive of the 10% service charge added to the final bill.
| Dining Experience | Format | Price per Person (₱) |
|---|---|---|
| Tasting Menu | 8-course, seated dinner (multiple seatings from 8:15 PM) | 6,500.00 |
| Kamayan Menu | Family-style communal feast, eaten by hand, served 6:00 PM–8:00 PM | 3,900.00 |
Price note: These are the current published prices for both dining formats. The Tasting Menu changes course-by-course based on seasonal ingredient availability, and the Kamayan Menu is fixed around seafood, pork, rice, and dessert. Prices are set by the restaurant directly and haven’t varied by branch since Toyo Eatery operates a single location in Makati but it’s worth confirming directly with the restaurant before booking, since fine-dining menus like this can be revised periodically.
About Toyo Eatery Philippines
Toyo Eatery opened in 2016, taking its name from the Tagalog word for soy sauce a nod to how something simple and everyday can carry enormous depth of flavor, which mirrors the restaurant’s overall approach to Filipino cooking. Chef Jordy Navarra built the menu around local ingredients and traditional Filipino techniques, reworked with modern presentation and fine-dining sequencing, rather than adapting Filipino flavors to fit a Western tasting-menu format.
The space itself blends industrial-chic and traditional Filipino design: concrete floors, handcrafted acacia wood tables, rattan chairs, and capiz lamps, with an open kitchen that lets diners watch the courses come together. It’s a small, reservation-only restaurant, and its acclaim (Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants recognition, plus a Michelin Star) has made booking a table one of the more competitive parts of dining out in Manila.
Popular Items To Try
Since the Tasting Menu rotates with the seasons, exact dishes vary by visit, but a few items have shown up consistently and are frequently mentioned by diners and reviewers:
- Kilaw of Wild Talakitok – A Filipino take on ceviche using fresh-caught trevally, often cited as a standout opening course.
- Bahay Kubo—inspired vegetable course – A dish built around the 18 vegetables named in the classic Filipino folk song, showcasing the kitchen’s focus on local produce.
- Kamayan seafood and pork spread – The centerpiece of the family-style Kamayan Menu, served banana-leaf style and meant to be eaten by hand.
- Tapuey Sour – A cocktail built on tapuey, a traditional Ifugao rice wine, and one of the more distinctive drinks on the bar menu.
- Multi-course dessert progression – Reviewers frequently note that the Tasting Menu’s dessert portion runs several courses deep rather than ending on a single plate.
Deals, Promos, and Discounts
Toyo Eatery doesn’t run public discounts or promo codes as a reservation-based fine-dining restaurant with limited seating, pricing stays fixed at the published per-person rate for both the Tasting and Kamayan menus. If you’re booking a large party (15 guests or more), the restaurant handles those inquiries directly by email or text rather than through standard online booking, so it’s worth reaching out in advance if group pricing or private dining arrangements are a factor.
Price and Value for Money
At ₱6,500 per person for the Tasting Menu, Toyo Eatery sits at a premium price point relative to most Metro Manila restaurants, but it’s genuinely competitive against equivalent tasting-menu restaurants in Tokyo, Singapore, or Hong Kong, where a similar chef-driven, multi-course format often costs significantly more. The Kamayan Menu at ₱3,900 is the more accessible entry point if you want to experience the restaurant without committing to the full tasting sequence, and it still delivers a substantial, multi-dish spread built for sharing. Given that reviewers commonly report receiving well over a dozen individual dishes across the eight “courses,” the per-dish cost works out to be reasonable for a Michelin-recognized kitchen.
Is Toyo Eatery Worth Trying?
Toyo Eatery earns its reputation less from spectacle and more from how deliberately it treats familiar Filipino ingredients dishes built around adobo, kilaw, or grilled pork don’t get dressed up to look foreign, they get reworked to feel more fully like themselves. That’s a genuinely different approach from a lot of fine dining in the region, where “elevated” often means leaning away from local technique rather than deeper into it. If you’ve had these dishes at home or at a carinderia, seeing them reconstructed course by course at Toyo tends to land differently than trying it for the first time.
The Kamayan Menu is worth calling out specifically because it inverts the usual fine-dining formality you’re eating with your hands off banana leaf, and multiple reviewers mention that the format actually loosens up the meal rather than making it feel like a downgrade from the Tasting Menu. It’s a genuinely different experience from the seated tasting format, not just a cheaper version of it, so the choice between the two comes down to whether you want a formal multi-hour dinner or a livelier, communal one.
Where the experience can be a hurdle is the booking process itself: reservations release weekly, three weeks in advance, and tables for popular days go quickly. If you’re planning around a specific date, it’s worth setting a reminder for the Thursday release rather than trying to book last-minute.
Dining Experience and Service
Toyo Eatery is reservation-only, and walk-ins are rarely accommodated, especially for the Tasting Menu. The Kamayan Menu runs during an early seating (6:00 PM–8:00 PM), while the Tasting Menu is served during later seatings starting around 8:15 PM. Seating is split between a ground-floor area with a direct view of the open kitchen (louder, more energetic) and a second-floor space for larger groups, which is accessible only by stairs worth noting if anyone in your party has mobility considerations. The restaurant can accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions for the Tasting Menu if notified in advance, but not for the Kamayan Menu, which is fixed around seafood and pork.
