Chef JP Cruz comes into his own at this intimate restaurant, where global influences converge with Filipino soul

A celebration of Filipino grilling culture, chef JP Cruz’s Karrivin Plaza counter highlights the versatility of our cuisine while working around the seasonality of produce. At Inatô they use both local and global ingredients to portray the flavours we know and love through a new lens, while still using Filipino cooking techniques. Each bite stops you in your tracks, as you study every meaningful decision that has been made. With no one correct way to express what Filipino food is, Cruz boldly pushes the boundaries of new Filipino fare and carves his own delicious path.
