Lore by Chef Tatung is chef Myke “Tatung” Sarthou’s contemporary Filipino restaurant in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. It’s worth knowing upfront that Lore recently moved away from its original tasting-menu format toward a family-style, à la carte concept built around the idea of salu-salo shared Filipino feasting so most of the newer dishes on the menu are portioned for two or more people to split rather than served as individual courses.

About Lore by Chef Tatung Philippines
Lore is chef Myke “Tatung” Sarthou’s most personal restaurant project, located on the 3rd floor of One Bonifacio High Street Mall in BGC, Taguig. Sarthou, a Cebu-born chef, author, and long-time advocate for Filipino cuisine, built the restaurant around dishes drawn from across the archipelago’s regional cooking traditions from Visayan and Ilonggo classics to Ilocano, Bicolano, and Mindanaoan influences reworked with a more refined, contemporary presentation.
In October 2025, the Michelin Guide named Lore among its Selected Restaurants for 2026, and around the same time the restaurant shifted its overall concept from a purely tasting-menu, fine-dining format to what it now calls “fine feasting” a family-style, shareable approach built around the spirit of the Filipino salu-salo. Portions on most mains are sized to serve two or more diners, which reflects that shift.
Popular Items To Try
- Fritchonillo – Lore’s signature lechon de leche, sous-vide then deep-fried; a showpiece dish meant for a larger group (good for 6–8).
- Kare-Kare – a classic done with oxtail, tripe, and beef in peanut sauce, portioned to share among 3–4 people.
- Sinuglaw – a VisMin coastal dish combining grilled pork ear with vinegar-cured tuna, frequently cited by diners for its contrast of textures and flavors.
- Poqui Poqui – Chef Tatung’s reworked take on the Vigan eggplant omelet, served baked over Vigan longganisa with gratinated cheese.
- Crispy Pata – whole pork leg slow-cooked then deep-fried, sized for 4–5 people, a common order for celebratory group dinners.
- Inutak – a Taguig-native sticky rice dessert with ube and a brûléed salted egg cream topping, often mentioned as a standout way to close the meal.
Deals, Promos, and Discounts
Lore has run limited-time promotions in the past, such as a complimentary Tuna Inasal offer for Father’s Day, announced through its official Facebook page. There’s no fixed, ongoing discount program confirmed beyond occasional seasonal offers, so it’s best to follow Lore’s Facebook and Instagram (@lore.manila) for whatever promo may be active before your visit.
Price and Value for Money
With most mains priced between ₱400 and ₱1,700 and built to serve two or more people, Lore sits in the upper-mid to premium range for Filipino restaurants in Metro Manila, though its pricing is generally in line with other contemporary Filipino dining concepts in BGC. Because portions are meant for sharing rather than individual servings, a group of three or four can typically build a full meal small plates, a broth, a grilled or stewed main, rice, and dessert without needing to over-order, which helps offset the per-dish prices somewhat. Reviewers on platforms like Restaurant Guru commonly estimate a full dinner at around ₱2,000–2,500 per person, which tracks with ordering several shared dishes plus drinks.
Is Lore Worth Trying?
What makes Lore stand out from other Filipino restaurants in BGC is how deliberately regional the menu is dishes are pulled from specific provinces and traditions (Ilonggo, Bicolano, Zamboangueño, Tausug-Maranao) rather than sticking to the usual Manila-centric Filipino restaurant staples, and the plating leans refined without losing the dish’s original character. That regional specificity is really the differentiator here, more than any single “signature dish.”
Guest feedback consistently calls out the service as warm and attentive without being intrusive, and dishes like the beef-based broths and the sisig variations get repeated praise for balancing richness with the right amount of sourness or spice a hallmark of well-executed Filipino cooking. Since the shift to family-style dining, the restaurant seems to be leaning harder into the idea of a shared, unhurried meal rather than a plated tasting-menu experience, so it’s best suited to a group of at least three or four people who want to order across categories rather than a quick solo dinner.
Given the Michelin Guide recognition and the specificity of the regional dishes on offer, Lore is a reasonable pick if you’re looking to introduce someone to a wider range of Filipino cuisine beyond the usual adobo-and-sinigang rotation, provided you come with people to share the meal with.
Dining Experience and Service
Lore operates as a semi-formal, dine-in restaurant with a smart casual dress code, best experienced family-style even though individual à la carte ordering is available. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, and a reservation fee applies for groups of three or more. Tables typically accommodate up to four diners, though larger groups can request long-table setups in advance. The restaurant also offers a function room (good for 8–16 pax) and larger event spaces for private bookings.
