TAAS Restaurant: Elevating El Nido’s Culinary Scene
In the heart of El Nido, a culinary gem rises above the rest, both in name and in essence. TAAS, which translates to “Upstairs” or “On Top” in Tagalog, is more than just a restaurant; it’s a movement, a testament to sustainable and innovative dining.
Local Ingredients, Global Flavors:
At the core of TAAS’s philosophy is a commitment to local produce. By sourcing ingredients from El Nido’s farmers, TAAS not only champions the rich flavors of the region but also significantly reduces its food carbon footprint. This approach is not just about taste; it’s a statement on food security and environmental responsibility.
A Fusion of Cultures:
Under the expert guidance of Jeremy Munoz, a French chef with roots in Marseille, TAAS offers a unique blend of Filipino and French cuisines. Drawing from his vast experience and self-taught techniques, Jeremy crafts dishes that are a symphony of flavors, each telling a story that bridges the cultures of France and the Philippines.
Changing Menus, Consistent Excellence:
In a bold move, TAAS refreshes its menu every two weeks. Whether you opt for the 6-course or the 8-course set menu, you’re in for a treat. And for those with specific dietary needs, TAAS ensures that food restrictions and allergies are catered to, making the dining experience truly personalized.
BABA Street Food – A New Venture:
Come November 2023, TAAS will introduce BABA street food, offering modern street dishes inspired by diverse cuisines but grounded in local ingredients. It’s a nod to those who crave the TAAS experience in a more casual setting.
UPDATE: Their pre-opening is schedule for November 17th.
Mission Beyond Dining:
But TAAS is more than just about food. Its mission extends to supporting local farmers, both on land and sea. Every dish served, every cocktail poured, is a step towards a more sustainable and inclusive future for El Nido’s community.
For those seeking an exceptional dining experience that’s both romantic and meaningful, TAAS is the place to be. It’s not just about being on top; it’s about raising the bar for what dining in El Nido can be.
