A neighborhood staple in Salcedo, Restaurant Idalia has earned a loyal following for its ever-evolving menu inspired by the seasons. From July 10 to 31, 2026, Chef Kevin David, who honed his craft under a Michelin-starred chef in the U.S., will take over Balmori Chef’s Table with a playful menu of generous, hearty dishes designed to bring people together.
One-Time-Only Balmori Creations
While the flagship Salcedo location has its own rhythm, Idalia’s residency in Balmori introduces an exclusive menu created entirely for this pop-up.
Start with one of Idalia’s signature favorites: the sourdough focaccia, baked with a crisp, golden crust and a light, airy crumb. Served alongside the restaurant’s silky house hummus, it’s a pairing perfect to begin the meal.
For the pasta course, don’t miss the handmade vongole. Tossed with fermented chili, pangrattato, and fragrant garlic confit, it delivers layers of savory flavor with just the right amount of heat.
Made for sharing, the Iberico Pork is one of Idalia’s signature entrées. Served with wood-fired roasted cabbage, a rich plum glaze, and velvety fermented cauliflower purée, it’s a hearty plate that brings the kitchen’s open-fire cooking to the forefront.
To end on a sweet note, Idalia serves desserts that showcase local Filipino ingredients, just like the ube panna cotta with jackfruit and coconut. Guests can also complement their meal with a wide selection of artisanal cocktails and drinks. A dedicated kids’ menu is also available throughout the Balmori residency, making the experience just as enjoyable for younger diners.
For a limited time, Restaurant Idalia brings an exclusive must-try menu to Rockwell. Reserve your table, bring your favorite people, and enjoy hearty plates only at Balmori Chef’s Table.

Word had spread fast: Chef Josh Boutwood is back in Rockwell, and eager diners have been flocking to Osteria since its doors reopened just a week ago.
For a limited run until June 28 at Balmori Chef’s Table, Chef Josh revives his much-talked-about Italian pop-up, Osteria, bringing back the dishes that made last year’s residency one of the city’s hardest reservations to score. This time, however, he returns with even greater acclaim as the only chef in the Philippines to hold two Michelin stars—an honor he earned for his restaurant, Helm.
Yet despite the global recognition, Chef Josh speaks of Osteria’s second stint with less fanfare than familiarity. “It’s almost refreshing to be back at Balmori…to my home turf,” he says, settling once again into the same space where his soulful Italian cooking found a loyal following.
And judging by the packed tables and returning diners, Manila clearly missed it.
For Osteria’s return, Chef Josh admits he became more critical of the menu, knowing how strongly guests loved the original dishes. The goal was simple: bring back the crowd favorites while gradually introducing new additions weekly to keep regulars coming back.
Back by Popular Demand
What exactly are these missed favorites? Chief among them are the Chilean Mussels. As Chef Josh describes it, the Mussels are “cooked down with the Calabrian ’Nduja, with a nice chili to it,” creating a sharp, savory broth specifically meant to be soaked up by the signature The Test Kitchen Sourdough Bread served across all his restaurants.
Then there is the unexpected star of the menu: the Radicchio Salad. Despite the leaf’s intense natural bitterness, Chef Josh found a cult following for it. “We pair it with rich Italian gorgonzola and wild honey to beautifully balance those bitter notes,” he explains.
At Osteria, pasta remains the undeniable heart of the menu. One cannot miss the revival of the Rigatoni, tossed with savory fennel sausage and a velvety mushroom cream sauce and a classic Lasagna featuring layers of handmade pasta, braised beef, rich béchamel, and cheese.
Moving on to the mains, the menu features dishes designed for sharing. The Pork Cotoletta offers a generously portioned breaded pork chop, finished with lemon and a touch of sea salt. For those seeking a lighter alternative, the Barramundi al Forno features roasted sea bass with olive oil, sea salt, and confit olives for a bright, clean finish.
“In any of my restaurants, it is imperative to end on a sweet note,” Chef Josh says. Guests can look forward to the Pane Budino—a classic English bread pudding with an Italian twist, soaked in Marsala wine and raisins. The luscious Pannacotta paired with blood orange syrup and roasted pumpkin seeds is also a must-try.
As he puts it, “all good things come to an end,” making Osteria’s return all the more reason to visit while it lasts. Indulge in the familiar comfort of its well-loved Italian dishes, revisit old favorites, or discover new ones, all for a limited time at Rockwell’s Balmori Suites.

For many in the South, enjoying Metro Manila’s most talked-about comfort foods usually means crossing the city. This March, the South’s weekend landscape is taking on a different rhythm as Rockwell’s Summer Socials transforms Alabang Town Center into a gathering place for some of the Metro’s most sought-after culinary names. It’s not just a typical food fair; it’s your first glance at the new Rockwell lifestyle now in your neighborhood.
The Culinary Lineup: From Handcrafted Stacks to Street-Style Tacos
The event’s lineup highlights a handful of vendors known for their distinctive takes on comfort food. Nolita Joe’s signature SPM pizza, topped with sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom, sits alongside the generously stacked burgers from Scratch Burgers. Mang Kaloy Fried Rice offers hearty bowls that elevate familiar Filipino flavors, while Takaw serves street-style tacos and Chino’s Deli offers sandwiches for those seeking something lighter.
Sweet and refreshing options round out the lineup. Minimalist soft-serve from Miruku by Ujisan provides a cool break from the afternoon heat, while The Good Poison and Feisty serve small-batch bottled iced teas. For dessert, Ciento Cookies brings its signature oversized, gooey bakes.
“We wanted to bridge the gap between these cult-favorite flavors and the South,” says a Rockwell events representative. “It’s about bringing that specific energy and taste to a community that values convenience without compromising on quality.”
The Summer Socials offer more than just food. Wabi Sabi’s pottery workshops, led by instructor Jason Tengco, offer a rare opportunity to engage in slow-paced, hands-on creation.
To complement the atmosphere, DJs Nica and Cian provide a curated vinyl-style backdrop as the sun sets. Before heading home, attendees can visit The Memory Machine, a vintage chemical-process photobooth that offers a physical, analog alternative to digital snapshots.
Additionally, more merchants will be joining throughout the events, offering new flavors and experiences to discover. The summer festivities continue at The Grove Retail Row and Santolan Plaza from March 20 to 22, before heading to The Proscenium Retail Row from March 25 to 29, and The Pavilions at Nara from March 27 to 29.
Whether you’re here for the bites, the beats, or just the good times, Rockwell’s Summer Socials is the place to be.
See you under the sun!

When a restaurant built on fire, finesse, and fearless creativity steps into one of the city’s most coveted dining stages, something special is bound to unfold.
From February 6 to March 22, Michelin-recognized GOXO— the intimate 12-seater Bar Asador from Grupo Pintxos— makes its debut at The Balmori Suites Chef’s Table, inviting diners into a limited-time journey through Basque-inspired cuisine shaped by Filipino ingredients, global influences, and the vision of Chef Albert Mendoza.
“We took the ‘Bar’ from Bar Pintxos and ‘Asador’ from Txoko Asado and merged them into one single identity—and that gave birth to GOXO,” he explains. “What we bring here in The Balmori is that same creativity, the same passion, the same playfulness—guided by Basque cooking techniques.”
At The Balmori, that philosophy translates into an immersive dining experience where technique never overshadows ingredient, and where restraint becomes a form of luxury.
Known for its prix fixe tasting format, GOXO takes on a new rhythm at The Balmori with a full à la carte menu—a first for the restaurant in such a large-scale setting.
“This is the first time that GOXO will be there for customers to experience our à la carte dishes in this way,” says Chef Albert. “These are some of our best-sellers from previous menu series—so we’re very confident bringing them here.”
With nearly 50 seats to fill each service, the Balmori pop-up challenges the team to expand GOXO’s intimate style while keeping its meticulous standards intact.
At the heart of GOXO’s Balmori run are dishes that showcase Chef Albert’s gift for transforming tradition into something unexpected yet deeply satisfying.
One standout is the Jamon Talakitok, GOXO’s pescatarian take on Spanish cured ham. What began as an accident in the kitchen—an over-cured local fish left in the chiller—turned into one of the restaurant’s signature creations.
Another highlight is a refined Hamachi Sashimi, layered with Filipino nuance: fresh mustasa standing in for wasabi, and a roasted anchovy jus replacing soy sauce, bringing saltiness and umami into perfect balance.
At GOXO, every ingredient takes center stage. “There’s a certain parallel between Japanese and Basque cuisine. Both focus on letting ingredients shine,” says Chef Albert. In the Philippines, this philosophy meets local produce, resulting in dishes that are elegant, balanced, and full of flavor.
Fresh off its 2026 Michelin Guide recognition, GOXO brings that same precision and passion to its first-ever appearance at The Balmori Suites Chef’s Table. Guests are invited to embark on an immersive culinary journey, exploring GOXO’s à la carte creations, innovative Basque-inspired flavors, and the team’s commitment to craft and creativity.
This exclusive pop-up runs February 6 to March 22 at The Balmori Suites, Power Plant Mall.

Deli by Chele has always been about play. What began at Stvdio Lab — where sauces, preserves, cheeses, kombucha, and breads were crafted with the same care you’d expect from a dish from Gallery by Chele, quickly grew into an online deli with over 70 products. City counters soon followed, serving fresh sandwiches daily. Each one carries Chef Chele González’s Spanish touch and Chef Carlos Villaflor’s Filipino flair, held to the same meticulous standards of fine dining, but delivered in a more casual setting.
This October 4 to 18, 2025, that story continues at The Balmori Suites Chef’s Table. Chele and Carlos are bringing the cool, casual vibe of New York—with a Filipino twist—through Deli by Chele’s first all-Day dining pop-up. Think hearty pastrami, fluffy pancakes, and more. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely breakfast, a late lunch, or dinner with friends, it’s a menu designed to fit any time of day.
Chef Chele González and Carlos Villaflor bring Deli by Chele to Balmori.
The big question is: what delights will this special menu bring?
Unlike the current Deli by Chele branches around the metro, this pop-up isn’t just about quick bites or takeaways; it’s a menu meant to be lingered over. “The All Day Dining Pop-Up is our way of showing how Deli by Chele continues to evolve,” says Chef Chele González. “We wanted to create a menu that’s fun, social, and approachable, any time of the day, while still carrying our signature Deli craftsmanship.”
Coconut Tempura Prawns, Parmesan Fritters, and Smoked Salmon Puffs.
The menu opens with playful starters like Coconut Tempura Prawns and Smoked Salmon Puffs, before easing into all-day breakfast favorites such as Soufflé Pancakes and French Toast. At the center are the sandwiches—a showcase of the brand’s signature pastrami with classics like the New York–style Brisket Pastrami and Reuben, now joined by fresh newcomers like the Duck Pastrami Sandwich and Mortadella Toast. And because no meal is complete without something sweet, desserts like the Bibingka Cheesecake and a bright, zesty Calamansi Pie make the perfect finish.
Mortadella Toast, Pepperoni Quesadilla, and Strawberry Soufflé Pancakes.
For two weeks this October, The Balmori Suites Chef’s Table turns into the home of Deli by Chele’s All-Day Dining Pop-Up. It’s a limited run, but just enough time to gather, share a table, and enjoy the deli in a new way, any time of the day.
