The new year unfolds with a renewed sense of flavor and finesse as Conrad Manila welcomes 2026 with an inspired collection of dining experiences across its signature venues.

Overlooking the calm expanse of Manila Bay, the hotel begins the year by introducing seasonal menus, themed evenings and refined à la carte offerings designed to elevate both casual dining moments and meaningful celebrations.

From January onward, guests are invited to explore Epicurean Evenings at the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Brasserie on 3, where dinner becomes a weekly journey through diverse culinary traditions. Running throughout the year, these themed buffet nights celebrate everything from the comforting elegance of Italian cuisine and the aromatic depth of global curry traditions, to fire-grilled premium meats, lavish seafood feasts and a vibrant exploration of Mediterranean flavors. Each evening is carefully composed by the culinary team to offer variety, balance and a sense of discovery, encouraging guests to return for new tastes and experiences.

For those seeking a more intimate setting, the Chef’s Table set menu offers a polished alternative, ideal for family gatherings, business meals or special milestones, with menus thoughtfully built around standout main courses. Early in the year, loyalty members are also rewarded with exclusive dining privileges, adding further reason to linger over long lunches or relaxed dinners.

Afternoons take on a lighter, brighter tone at the C Lounge, where a citrus-inspired afternoon indulgence sets the stage for easy conversations and unhurried moments against sweeping bay views. The experience pairs delicately crafted sweet and savory bites with coffee or tea, capturing the refreshing spirit of the season.

As January unfolds, the lounge also comes alive with a cocktail collection inspired by Southeast Asia, drawing from the distinct character of regional flavors and reimagined through contemporary mixology. Midweek evenings bring a spotlight on whisky, with curated selections served alongside thoughtfully paired bites and guided by the lounge’s expert mixologists.

Adding to the culinary momentum, the hotel’s acclaimed Chinese restaurant China Blue by Jereme Leung introduces new à la carte creations that build on its signature style of refined yet expressive cuisine. The updated menu presents modern interpretations of well-loved classics, from crisp and layered salads to delicate seafood soups and elegantly prepared mains that balance richness with freshness. Each dish reflects careful technique, bold presentation and a respect for tradition, while offering diners something distinctly new.
