Our Story
Welcome to Kabayan Bistro, where our journey is just beginning, inspired by a deep love for Filipino cuisine and a desire to bring its rich flavours to our guests. Founded by Margaret, our story is deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of the Philippines.
At the heart of our kitchen is my father, Menis, the master chef and true visionary behind our dishes. Growing up, I watched him cook with passion and precision, turning every family gathering into a feast of flavours and joyful moments. His culinary skills, developed over years of perfecting family recipes, are the foundation of Kabayan Bistro.
With a passion for creating dishes that bring people together, we decided to turn this love into a place where everyone can experience the warmth and hospitality of a Filipino home. As we prepare to open our doors, we are excited to bring you authentic Filipino dishes crafted with the finest ingredients and a touch of our family’s culinary secrets. Our mission is to create a dining experience that feels like a homecoming, filled with delicious food, joyful moments, and a sense of belonging.
Our Vision
At Kabayan Bistro, our vision is to become a beloved dining destination, known for our exceptional Filipino cuisine, warm ambiance, and outstanding service. We aim to be the place where friends and family gather to enjoy hearty meals and create lasting memories.
Our culinary focus is on traditional Filipino dishes, with a special emphasis on our signature Lomi—a comforting noodle dish with rich, savoury broth and a variety of savoury toppings. We are committed to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to ensure every dish is not only delicious but also supports our local economy.
Guided by my father’s expertise and passion, our kitchen will continually innovate while staying true to our roots. We envision Kabayan Bistro as more than just a place to eat; it’s a space where culture and cuisine come together. Our goal is to introduce the vibrant flavours of the Philippines to our guests, fostering a deeper appreciation for Filipino food and culture. As we grow, we plan to innovate our menu, introduce new dishes, and continue our dedication to sustainability and ethical practices.
Join us on this exciting journey as we bring the heart of Filipino cooking to your table and become a cherished part of your dining experiences.
