A Filipino-inspired restaurant following on from the success of Sarap BAon that opened in Brixton last year.

Ferdinand ‘Budgie’ Montoya (Foley’s, Restaurant Story) is taking over 10 Heddon Street in Mayfair - the residency space that previously hosted some of London’s most exciting dining concepts. Sarap Filipino Bistro (Sarap meaning ‘delicious’ in Tagalog) is the latest evolution of Montoya’s Sarap brand following the success of the more casual Brixton sister site.

The sleek yet industrial surroundings is the ideal setting to showcase Budgie’s ‘Bistro’ menu, celebrating his Filipino heritage and roots. The menu showcases a modern interpretation of Filipino flavours - expect  inventive and bold Filipino-inspired small plates, signature large plates and Filipino sides - from vinegar-soaked adobo to its famous roasted lechon - paying ode to Sarap’s philosophy of ‘authentic flavours delivered proudly inauthentically’.
