If someone were to ask you what Australian cuisine is, what would you answer? Technically, yes, kangaroo counts. But Australian food is really a union of several different cuisines. There’s much more to the food from the land down under.

Inside the restaurant, there’s no shortage of leather clad furniture and greenery. It makes for a very modern, sleek, speakeasy vibe that can go from day to night seamlessly.
Based out of Australia, this is their first branch in Manila. The building itself, located in McKinley Parkway, serves a double purpose. The first floor is the main restaurant and kitchen while the second floor serves as the main office and school for training the chefs, staff, and personnel.
In fact, Martin Place Social’s double purposing doesn’t stop there. During the day, they’ll greet you as a cafe and slowly turn into a pub as the sun goes down. So the food goes spot on with the coffee or cocktail that you’ll inevitably order.

Many of the ingredients, most notably the steaks, are flown in directly from Australia. On the flip side, the trainees that study in the school on the second floor of the restaurant are also sent to Australia for further training. Nothing like that good, Ozzy hospitality.
