Manila, Philippines — The holidays are a time for laughter, family, and making cherished memories. Unwrap the priceless gift of togetherness with your loved ones with a Locavore handaan, beautifully reinventing your classic Noche Buena favorites with their expanded menu and branch-exclusive dishes. 

Filipinos have a deep love for Christmas traditions, and coming together to dine during the season. Remember Noche Buenas at home? And putting up your parol as early as September? Locavore takes this love for the holidays and complements it with their specially crafted menu that whisks you back in time to relive the warmth and nostalgia of at-home handaans with time-honored favorites.

“At Locavore, we believe that good food brings people together, and great food makes the experience more intimate and enjoyable. That’s why we made our holiday specials – It’s our way of sharing the joy and warmth of this season with our valued patrons,” said Mikel ZaguirreChef and Locavore Co-founder. 

“It’s all about good food and good company,” he added.

Locavore precisely knows how important sharing a moment with your loved ones is. The modern Filipino restaurant complements these intimate and enjoyable moments with the right food selection. This Christmas, treat the Family to a Gourmet Filipino Noche Buena with classic dishes that everyone will love.

Explore together Locavore’s Estancia-exclusive menu, which features a larger selection of dishes and drinks for the modern palate. Indulge in the succulent Bulalo Pintxos and Bistek Pintxos, both served with housemade Bagnet Chips paired with spiced vinegar for an irresistibly crispy and zesty delight that even the kids will love! 

For a dish that really wows, bring out the Bagnet Buro Mustasa, a roasted bone marrow favorite that has been making rounds online. Mixed with pickled Labanos and Pares Jam, its succulent and tangy flavors and camera-perfect plating make it a crowd favorite.

For the titas and titos at the table, try out Locavore’s new gin-based fruity cocktails – the Hardin, Albularyo, Diwata, and Balakyot ni Paloma – Filipino fusions made to have you dancing the night away. For an extra kick, try the hottest Antibayotiko, made with a chili-infused Cazadores Reposado with smoked rock salt, or the Melona high ball, a vodka-based spritzer. 

“We wanted to ensure that there’s something for everyone, a variety of tastes and textures that can be shared and savored with family and friends. We believe that great food has the power to bring people closer, to create lasting memories, and this Christmas, we wanted to be a part of those memories in a big way,” said Zaguirre.

Locavore’s expanded menu is currently only available at the Estancia branch but will soon be served at Locavore BGC, Eastwood, and S Maison branches – making it even easier to share moments of joy with your loved ones.

There’s no better way to bring the family together than good food and laughter. Gift your loved one the gift of togetherness by celebrating together at the following Locavore branches: Brixton Barrio Kapitolyo in Pasig, Forbestown in Taguig, Valero St. in Makati, S Maison in the MOA Complex, Pasay, Eastwood Mall in Quezon City, SM City Bacoor, and Estancia Mall in Pasig. Eager diners looking for convenience can also order their favorite Locavore dishes through Grab Food and Pickaroo.
