CRAVING for a one-of-a-kind dining experience right at the heart of Pampanga?
Mesa Filipino Moderne, touted as one of the country's well-loved Filipino restaurants, finally opened its doors and is ready to serve gastronomic feasts at the province's newest go-to destination -- the SM City Telabastagan.
The latest culinary spot is the 40th branch of the award-winning restaurant chain adjudged as the Philippines' Best Restaurant by the Philippine Tatler for 9 consecutive years.
Filipinos are always known to be food lovers. The fast rise of food parks and speciality restaurants in every corner has proven that “eating” is indeed a typical Pinoy hobby. There are a lot of speciality restaurants that offer world cuisines such as Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, American, and all other global favourites. Truth is, the closest to every Pinoy’s heart is, of course, the Filipino cuisine. And while every household knows how to cook the signature Filipino dishes, we still go for restaurants that serve us fusion, better than the usual home-cooked meals.
Cagayan de Oro boasts to be one of the franchise spots of MESA- Filipino Moderne, this year’s one of the Best Restaurant awardees by the Philippine Tatler Magazine.
Philippine Tatler is the ultimate arbiter of high society, taste and glamour as it provides exclusive coverage of the best local and international events.

MANILA, Philippines – It’s difficult to find a place of serenity in a bustling office and commercial district like Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. And while the food options in the area are many and diverse, the view will always be the cold gray hue of the asphalt road or glaring office windows.
However, at the open deck of the newly opened SM Aura Premier, the Sky Park offers some of the best views of the area surrounded by carefully curated restaurants. With a lush landscape of trees, manicured lawns, and reflective pools, it’s the perfect place in the area to dine.
Wazzup Pilipinas!
"Kainan na!" that's what my mom would normally shout everytime breakfast, lunch or dinner is all set on the "mesa" or the dining table.
The "mesa" has always been the center of everything in the house. That is the only part of the house, aside form the living room, where everyone in the family gather round to enjoy sumptuous meals almost everyday.
