Manila’s fine dining scene is about to change as the newest dining destination in Manila opens high atop the Makati skyline. Discovery Primea’s Flame takes its inspiration from the hotel team’s burning passion and desire to create new experiences through food. The executive chef Luis Chikiamco shared that “at Flame, we are pushing modern European cuisine and Asian combinations in bold, intriguing directions.” 

With the intention of both surprising and delighting, familiar dishes are seared, grilled, torched from the Josper Oven and served with delightful twists along with the widest selection of homemade mustards and dressings created through cold infusion. Even the everyday, becomes a special treat in offerings such as ‘quezo de bola and hamon’, inspired by the great Massimo Bottura, seared Chilean sea bass with shiitake mushrooms, garlic confit, Madeira-mushroom broth, and braised U.S. short ribs atop creamy celeriac puree and ginger tamarind sauce.

Other stand-out dishes from the menu include the Asian beef carpaccio with fresh arugula, wasabi nuts, sriracha and soy vinaigrette, the pan seared foie gras with grilled eggplant, pickled pears, nori flakes, teriyaki glaze and roasted Scottish salmon with braised savoy cabbage, Japanese pickled ginger and aromatic sesame sauce, a sure delight to the palate.

With a carefully curated wine and cheese collection, and an impressive set of chocolate, fruit and cheese-based desserts, Flame is also the perfect destination for after-dinner socials. Linger long after dinner to enjoy a hot chocolate soufflé, paired with a cloud of Colombian coffee foam, caramelised bananas and vanilla ice cream, or a special cocktail created with our signature porthole infuser.

“While each ingredient, each product, has a distinct flavour, the careful combination is the source of great taste and moments of delight. That sense of wonder, surprise and awe is what we hope will make our guests return for more,” Discovery Primea General Manager David Pardo De Ayala added. “With the city lights sparkling just beyond your dinner plate and service that strikes the perfect balance between attentive and comfortably extempore, we promise a sumptuous and memorable culinary journey each time.”
