Filed under: MUST TRY. *The restaurant is closed for now*
Makati is always bustling with exciting new restaurants. From build-your-own concepts to hole in the wall spots, the city has become a go-to destination for food-lovers across the metro.
Along Esteban St. (made famous by spots like Your Local and Yardstick), a new concept has popped up—and it’s definitely a great choice for your next date or after-work cocktails.
Made Nice Supper Club – Legaspi Village
Made Nice Supper Club, or simply ‘Made Nice’, is a hip fusion restaurant hiding in Makati. It is an upscale concept with impressive aesthetics from interiors down to plating. The menu consists of ‘contemporary Western cuisine with Asian influences‘, as co-owner Gabbi Ramos Flores describes it.
Gabbi and her partners Jack Flores (her husband), Wren Go, Raulito Fores, and Toby Panlilio are all young entrepreneurs who first met during their college years in Enderun. Most of them spent their internships abroad, training under well-known chefs around Los Angeles, Paris, New York, and more.
Fun Fact: Chef Jack Flores worked in Daniel by Daniel Boulud, and Gabbi worked in Ladurée, both in New York.
The menu is concise and well thought-out, with innovative dishes from foie gras brioche to duck yolk pasta and more. All recipes are by the owners themselves, and everything is made in-house—even their ice cream!
Take note of these appetizers, especially the Agnolotti!
Carrot
Roasted carrots, sour cream, quinoa, toasted seeds
Agnolotti
Sweet corn, parmesan, truffle oil
Octopus
Grilled octopus, tonato, potatoes, greens
Foie Gras

For mains, their Beef dish is a definite must-try. It’s highly recommended by the owners as well!
