Found in the heart of Salcedo Makati is Pablo Bistro, a charming dining destination inspired by European, Mediterranean, Spanish and International flavors. It opened its doors in December 2014 at the Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences, a labor of love among partners Marivic Diaz-Lim of Apartment 1B, Cecilia Manosa and Managing Partner David Martinez-Collado, all of whom share the same adoration for food.

With its contemporary interiors, elegant lighting, parquet floors, cozy al fresco dining, and premier neighborhood bar, Pablo is just as much a place for a hearty breakfast, as it is for after-work night caps, dinner dates, power lunches and business meetings.

Apart from impeccable food and ambience, Pablo prides itself as an innovator in the kitchen. The menu is carefully crafted by its head chef, Amado Garcia Fernandez. In order to ensure that only the freshest ingredients available in the market are being served straight to your table, Pablo often revolutionizes its menu.

This season, another exquisite demonstration of flavour and culinary artistry takes the form of Pablo’s new dishes, which are: Salmon Carpaccio, Chorizo Platter, Salchichon Platter, Caprese Salad, Margherita di Bufala Pizzeta, Grilled Chicken Pesto Fusilli, Crab & Seafood Caldoso, Seared Yellowfin Tuna with Grilled Guindilla Peppers, Mango Strudel, and Roasted Pineapple Glaze. With its launch marks Pablo’s foray into an elevated dining experience, one where taste senses come in full circle and leave an indelible impression.

Using a fusion of modern and traditional cooking techniques, Pablo has managed to creatively make thoughtful ad- ditions to its food offerings while continuously improving its signature dishes. To name a few, these are the Lamb Shank Confit, Salmon Confit, Cochinillo Asado, Chorizo Bolognese, Fried Lamb Riblettes, Grilled Octopus in a bed of silky mashed potatoes, and their selection of thin house paellas – Black Squid Ink, Seafood Fideua, Chicken & Chorizo, Vegetable, and Mushroom Truffle.

The menu seems simple yet nothing is ever ordinary. Pablo’s daily lunch specials are a crowd-favorite amongst the Salcedo community and for the adventurous souls looking to try something new. Served with a choice of an appetizer and a main dish, bestselling dishes from these specials are eventually integrated to the main menu.

For those looking for a delectable breakfast selection, Pablo Brunch during the weekends are a must try- a morning affair that you will be able to enjoy with your family and friends.

With good food, naturally comes good wine. Pablo is known for its excellent food but it is also celebrated for its extensive wine selections from Spain, France, Italy, and Australia. How could it not be when its owners are wine connois- seurs at heart? But more than the wine, Pablo also has a complete line up of premium whiskeys, gins, single malt, cocktails, and tap beer – making it the ideal setting for an epic night out.

At Pablo Bistro, each indulgence becomes a reality—good food, good wine, good company, and good service–delighting us in a delicious and appetizing way, that keeps us coming back for more.
