ATE
ATE, pronounced “a-te”, means older sister in Tagalog. The charming restaurant is nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, and its menu is compiled of recipes that have been passed down through generations, so it feels like you’re being cared for by an older sister rustling up your favorite comfort food. If you’re unfamiliar with Filipino cuisine, the staff recommends you try the national dish of the Philippines, Adobong Baboy, a mouth-watering stew made from pork braised in a blend of soy sauce, garlic and a touch of vinegar. Another recommendation is the Adobong Manok Sa Gata, a creamy and savory coconut sauce-cooked Chicken Adobo.

New Nanays
New Nanays (mother in Tagalog) is one of the oldest and most well-established Filipino restaurants in Tokyo. In its 18 years of cooking, it has provided catering services for the Philippine Embassy on over 30 occasions and is known for its delicious Pork Sisig, a chopped pork dish often served on a sizzling plate. Behind its success is a charming backstory: the owner set out to feed Tokyo’s Filipino community before any Filipino restaurants existed. The only problem was that she didn’t know how to cook! She learned everything she could from scratch and, sure enough, people started flocking to New Nanays for a taste of home.
