Filipino is the new “it” Asian cuisine, having already trended in New York, and currently drawing long lines for pop-ups in DC. Now Restaurant Eve is following the sisig trail, offering a Filipino “noche buena” holiday feast through the month of January.
Co-owner Meshelle Armstrong has roots in the Philippines, and the menu takes inspiration from the traditional family-style meal, where guests gather at each other’s homes for a late meal on Christmas Eve. Chef Cathal Armstrong‘s lineup of dishes will change daily in seasonal Eve style; look for items such as street-style barbecue with banana ketchup and beef noodle soup.
The shared menu is $60 per person, and must be reserved specifically when calling or booking online. The regular menu is also offered during this time.
