Toyo Eatery and Inato Take Over Serai

This March, the team from Serai are joined by two of their fellow champions of contemporary Filipino cuisine from Manila: Jordy Navarra of Toyo Eatery, and JP “Jepe” Cruz from Inato.

This exciting event promises to be a cross-cultural culinary journey, bringing the flavours of the Philippines to Melbourne. Toyo Eatery, recognised for its excellence in the culinary world, was named the Tatler Dining Guide’s restaurant of the year for 2024. And though Inato only opened its doors at the beginning of 2024, it's already made a name for the flair with which chef JP Cruz applies Filipino charcoal cooking techniques to exceptional produce.

This takeover will be about pushing the boundaries of Filipino cuisine, offering diners a chance to experience the rich, diverse flavours of the Philippines in a modern and refined setting.

Whether you’re a seasoned fan of the food of the Philippines or a newcomer to the cuisine, this event promises to be a gastronomic adventure that you won’t want to miss.
