Toka Wine: Will Host Guest-Chef Series
Presented by Toka Wine (Butz Tenchavez)
- When
- Quarterly through 2026; summer date to be announced, Evening dinner seating
- Where
- 141 Katipunan Ave., Quezon City
- Who it's for
- For people who follow younger Manila cooking and like a relaxed wine room over a special-occasion one; a good low-key evening with a friend who takes wine seriously. It is in Katipunan, Quezon City, so easy if you are already in the QC area and worth a longer trip from the bay or the south for a one-off takeover.
- Good to know
- The Will Host guest-chef dinners run about four times a year as one-off small-plate evenings, with summer dates confirmed close to the night. Follow the venue on Instagram to catch the next one and book early, as the room is small.
About this event
Toka Wine is a small Katipunan bar and bottle shop modelled on the wine rooms of Porto, Madrid and Paris, with a list split roughly evenly between classic and natural bottles chosen for freshness and drinkability. Four times a year its Will Host series gives the kitchen to an emerging Manila chef for a one-off dinner of small plates built around the cellar, which makes it a quiet incubator for new cooking and a good reason to track what the city's younger talent is doing. Tatler Asia counts the room among Manila's better dining spots, and it stays an unfussy neighbourhood place rather than a special-occasion one. Summer dates are confirmed close to the night, so follow the venue on Instagram to catch the next takeover; it sits in Quezon City, so plan for a longer trip from the bay area.
