Spiraling into Culinary Bliss
spacer




Come to the Philippine Plaza and check out its latest contribution to the Philippine dining scene: Spiral, a unique and state-of-the-art restaurant by the bay designed to reflect nature.

Able to seat up to 480 guests, its creative design allows both the dining patrons and the chefs to interact as well as appreciate the beautifully arranged cuisine. Spiral offers a lively multicultural environment where guests can enjoy several cuisines, open-plan cooking theaters, show kitchens, and interactive buffet stations, which encourage interaction between the chef and dining patrons. Grills, seafood, and an extensive dessert station also await a diner’s pleasure. It’s literally "the world on your plate" as diners can watch chefs prepare new and popular dishes in the spirit of Spiral’s concept, which is "a blend of international cuisine with a dash of drama."

Spiral’s international team of culinary experts is led by Executive Chef Luke Dale Roberts and award-winning Sous Chef Jojo Borlagdan, and includes Japanese Master Chef Yoshimi Iragashi, who prepares light, healthy, and fresh Japanese cuisine; Indian Chef Indrajit Roy, whose fiery traditional Indian food ranges from refreshingly spicy to wonderfully chilly; Chinese Chef Siu Man Yeung, master of the hot wok; visiting Dimsum Chef Chan Chun; Korean Chef Cho Seung Hyun; young Chef Marco Legasto who heads the Mediterranean kitchen; and Creative pastry Chef Mac Macatangay.

So who says you can’t experience bliss on earth? Spiral would like to show you something different from the ordinary dining experience.
