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 recommend you try the national dish of the Philippines, Adobo Baboy, a mouth-watering stew made from pork braised in a blend of soy sauce, garlic and a tang of vinegar. Another recommendation is the Adobong Manok Sa Gata, a creamy and savory coconut sauce-cooked Chicken Adobo.

If you’re in Roppingi, KAPETAYO TOKYO is the best spot to visit and try out Filipino-inspired dishes and drinks.

With its friendly cafe/bar atmosphere, you’ll often find local Filipino residents relaxing and chatting with friends while savoring the creamy texture of the Leche Flan dessert or the Kiwi Mojito.

New Nanays (meaning 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 Philippines Embassy on over 30 occasions and is known for its delicious Pork Sisig. The charming backstory of New Nanays started when the owner wanted to provide food for the Filipino community in Tokyo back when no other Filipino restaurants existed. The only problem is 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.
