The story
Spices is the Southeast Asian dining destination at The Peninsula Manila, a luxury hotel that has defined Makati’s skyline for five decades. In 2026, the same year the hotel celebrates its 50th anniversary, Spices earned a MICHELIN Recommended award, joining its sibling Old Manila in the guide’s selection.
The restaurant presents a range of South East Asian dishes in an elegant, air-conditioned setting. It is Halal Certified, reflecting a commitment to inclusive fine dining. The Peninsula Manila describes Spices as part of “a global dining destination – Halal Certified with Southeast Asian flair,” a fitting description for a restaurant that blends international hospitality with regional culinary traditions.
Guests can choose between indoor seating and outdoor areas, with the hotel’s renowned warm service setting the tone. Spices is open for lunch and dinner, and also offers catering, private parties, and delivery. Valet parking and Wi‑Fi are available, making it a convenient stop for both hotel guests and local diners.
The MICHELIN Recommended distinction places Spices among the notable restaurants in Manila, affirming its consistent quality and the depth of its Southeast Asian cooking. The Peninsula Manila itself has long been called the “Jewel in the Capital’s Crown,” and Spices upholds that reputation with its focused menu and gracious hospitality.
