• Adobo is "the country's national dish", a stew of chicken and potatoes in soy sauce and sugarcane vinegar, flavored with garlic and bay leaf.
• Kinilaw is the country's "oldest dish", a recipe based on raw fish from the Cebu region, marinated in sugarcane vinegar, calamansi and ginger, then served with tomatoes, cucumbers, corn and shallots.
• Kare-Kare, or "Filipinos' favorite classic", is beef cooked in a peanut sauce, with eggplant, long beans and pak choï.

Filipino cuisine, little known in Paris, is tinged with the Spanish, Asian and Anglo-Saxon influences that have infused the country over the centuries.

Dishes with a thousand flavors are accompanied by beverages also derived from Filipino tradition (calamansi juice, root beer, cocktails created by the bartender using Filipino ingredients) or Kapeng Barako, a powerful and subtly aniseed-flavored coffee from the town of Lipa!
