Metiz opened in November 2019 on the desire to serve traditional Filipino flavors in non-traditional forms. When the pandemic hit a few months later, dining out became a rare and risky affair. We continued to develop the menu, increased the number of courses, testing techniques to create an experience that would unmistakably be our own. (Using tradition to distinguish us from the traditional)
Our menu relies on local, seasonal plant-based biodiversity, with roots in traditional rural Filipino, more than urban diets. We experiment in old methods of preservation – buro (fermenting), tuyo (drying), kinilaw (pickling), distilling the essence of familiar flavors of things past.
Metiz is essentially a group of dreamers and doers in a tech start-up. Our value is our team and we work as one. We try not to harm the planet and help regenerate the earth and oceans by favoring produce harvested with respect for habitats.
