Get Ready for a Boldly Filipino Experience: Siklab+

Siklab+, The Bistro Group's latest concept, is an ode to the diversity of flavors in Filipino cuisine, offering a dining experience that is both satisfyingly familar and yet vibrantiy exciting with its bold takes on the country's traditional culinary heritage with an approachable modern touch.

The ambiance in the restaurant is sophisticated casual with interiors that are modern minimalistic accentuated by touches of muted shades of brown, gray and beige that make the vibe cozy and inviting. The restraint with the use of accents is evident in the no-frills, elegant and graceful design elements that food enthusiasts will find exciting to share on social media.

Bold Flavors from Start to Finish

Siklab+'s flavors are bold and assertive, teasing and pleasing the palate in multiple ways. They can be sweet, sour, salty and at times spicy but all deeply comforting regardless of the region from where they originated. The choices are well-curated and even the way the dishes are presented is boldy done, in striking vessels that would make you want to dive into the food without restraint.

Start your food journey with faves such as Kuhol in Tanggol, OK na Okoy, Paboritong Sisig and Lumpiang Ubod ng Sarap, among the starters, along with the Pinalutong na Tawilis and Anak ng Tokwa't Baboy.
