YOUR CULINARY AFFAIR
BOLERO MANILA
CHEF FERNANDO ALCALA
Born in Marbella, he studied Law and chose to leave his career as a lawyer in Zurich to pursue cooking. His first personal project, Kava, opened its doors in 2015 after training in the kitchen alongside professionals like Arzak. In 2019, he was named Revelation Chef at Madrid Fusión, establishing himself as one of the references in Marbella’s cuisine. Today, KAVA holds a Repsol Sun, an award it won in 2021 and renewed in this latest 2024 edition thanks to a culinary proposal that surprises with its raw materials and global technique.
In recent years, Fernando has continued to embark on new ventures and grow. In 2022, he launched Cotxino, an informal tavern designed for enjoyment, offering traditional dishes and tapas with a personal touch. ‘Bolero’, his latest project, opened its doors in 2023 in Manila and has quickly gained international recognition, earning a Bib Gourmand distinction in the Michelin Guide Philippines 2026 for its quality cuisine at great value.

BGC FOOD GUIDE: THE STARTERS YOU NEED TO TRY AT BOLERO MANILA
If you’re planning a dinner out in BGC and wondering what to order, start with the starters. At Bolero Manila, the appetizers aren’t just an opening act — they’re a statement.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular looking to explore the menu more deeply, here’s your guide to the standout small plates you need to order at Bolero Manila.
The Must-Try Starters at Bolero Manila
1. Beef Empanadas
Filled with a soft and smoky ribeye — these are not your average empanadas. Nostalgic yet entirely new. A must-try appetizer in BGC.
2. Ricotta, Green Onion Waffle
Light, crisp, and served with creamy ricotta on the side. The kind of unique appetizer in Manila that people keep coming back for.
3. Signature Stuffed Chicken Wings
Deboned and generously stuffed with a bold spicy pork filling and served with curry mayo. One of the most recommended dishes at Bolero Manila.
4. Creamy Sweet and Sour Tomatoes
Sweet tomatoes and fresh cucumber topped with a light sweet and sour foam — a starter that’s as visually striking as it is refreshing. The kind of modern European dish in Manila that makes you pause between bites.
5. Talakitok Crispy Ceviche, Cucumber Lassi
Fresh raw talakitok dressed in vibrant aji amarillo and paired with a creamy cucumber lassi. Bright, bold, and clean — this is Filipino ingredients at their best, handled with a distinctly modern touch.
Bolero Manila is located in BGC High Street South, making it one of the most conveniently situated casual fine dining restaurants in Metro Manila. Whether you’re planning a date night in BGC, a celebratory dinner, or simply a long overdue meal somewhere genuinely special, the starter menu alone makes the trip worthwhile.

"If the red dash across the signage of the restaurant is saying anything, it’s that when it comes to food, chef Alcalá is no bolero. With a master at his craft at the helm, everything on the menu is worth trying, if just for the experience itself and the conversations it inspires."
"Entering Bolero is like stepping into a culinary theater—the open kitchen is the stage, you can see the crew in action, the bartender is on the wings making his signature concoctions. With Chef Fernando Alcalá of Michelin-recognized Kava in Marbella, Spain behind its menu, this new dining spot brings modern European cuisine into the spotlight in a casual, relaxed setting."
"You must not leave without trying what Bolero calls “Spain’s Best Cheesecake.” Alcalá’s recipe is so creamy that the slice oozes with mascarpone and other varieties of cheese, and delights with a toasted top. Apparently Spain takes its cheesecakes (or tarta de queso) seriously and actually has a National Championship of Cheesecakes, which Alcalá won in 2019."
