Taupe Dining

CULINARY MASTERPIECES USING FILIPINO INGREDIENTS COMBINED WITH GLOBAL TECHNIQUES AND FLAVORS.

Chef Francis has always been passionate about showcasing ingredients from the Philippines. With Taupe as his canvas, he elevates these local treasures into an art form — blending them with global ingredients he most enjoys eating and cooking with to create his culinary masterpiece. Each dish here is not just a meal, but a delicious flirtation of flavors, stylishly served to perfection.

“Taupe is my canvas where I express my passion for elevating Philippine ingredients into an art form. It’s a place where the love for my homeland’s produce and my favorite global flavors come together to create culinary masterpieces. Each dish is a flirtatious play of textures and tastes, a narrative of my journey through food, stylishly plated to perfection.”

ELEMENTS TASTING MENU

Chef Francis’ third seasonal menu is a bold exploration of technique, flavor, and movement. Each course is crafted using elemental forces that define not just how we cook—but how we experience food. Each one is a creative take on how nature transforms the food—through fire, air, water, and earth.

ELEVATING PHILIPPINE INGREDIENTS INTO AN ART FORM

Each ingredient is carefully chosen to not only represent the place from which it hails but also to complement and enhance the flavors of each dish they grace. We're committed to supporting local farmers and producers, showcasing the best of what the Philippines has to offer, and ensuring that each dish at Taupe tells a story of our rich culinary heritage.
