Tandem is a small contemporary restaurant in Legazpi Village run by husband and wife chefs Alex and Mikee Tan, open since 2023. For the first three weeks of each month they cook a themed tasting menu, and in the last week they switch to à la carte, with a brunch on the last Sunday. The cooking is plant forward and built around a zero waste approach, served in a room of warm wood with an open kitchen and about 20 seats.

## Why go

1. A themed tasting menu that changes, at ₱5,900, which is low for a Michelin listed tasting room
2. Husband and wife chefs cooking in an open kitchen with about 20 seats
3. Zero waste cooking that leans on vegetables and local produce
4. In the last week of the month you can eat à la carte instead of the full menu

- **Good for:** A date, or a food friend who likes tasting menus cooked by the chefs themselves
