The authentic taste of Spain is just within reach as Manduca Taberna becomes the first restaurant in the Philippines to receive the prestigious Restaurants from Spain Certification awarded by the government of Spain.

The recognition highlights the restaurant’s success in its commitment to providing the true flavors of Spain to Philippine shores.

“We’re very proud of Manduca Taberna for being the first restaurant in the Philippines to receive the Silver Seal certification. Our team will continue to do our best to deliver authentic Spanish dining experiences to the country,” said Chef Amado Garcia Fernandez, co-founder of Manduca Taberna.

The Restaurants from Spain certification program supports and recognizes initiatives worldwide that focus on authentic cuisine and produce from Spain, which guarantee the quality standards of these establishments. This would give consumers a particular standard of what Spain on a plate should look and taste like, giving a true Spanish experience.
Manduca Taberna is currently serving authentic Spanish dishes in its two branches: its flagship store in BGC Taguig and its new branch in One Ayala, Makati.
