Manila’s dining landscape is alive once again. Front, side and center, restaurants are popping up like mushrooms as the scene is hungry for more to satisfy their indulgence, whether gastronomically or design sensibilities or both.

In recent years, the surge of beautifully curated spaces has elevated the city’s scene to be seen.  First on the list is multi-slash shop slash mini showroom is a contemporary take what a dining experience is today. The seat of luxury is a feast for the eyes adorned by objets d’ art, chic furnishings and indoor trees (yes, and you have to see it.).

A favorite spot of mine is the bathroom, it transports you to a time reminiscent of old-world glory. So we had a little chat with the celebrated artist and asked him about Ito Kish Design Food that recently opened its doors in the heart of Salcedo village in Makati.
