Asador Alfonso
Tatler Best 20 Restaurant 2026
Featuring chef/co-owner Chele González and chef Rodrigo Osorio
Asador Alfonso practises the Spanish tradition of live-fire roasting—here, top ingredients and masterfully controlled heat are left to do most of the work, with unnecessary embellishments and showmanship left out of the equation. The restaurant is a personal project for Chele González, best known for his flagship restaurant Gallery by Chele, winner of Tatler Best Innovation • Restaurant 2026. At this Cavite restaurant, he set out to build a genuine asador experience of a kind still uncommon in this part of the world. Head chef Rodrigo Osorio, who shares González's roots in Cantabria, brings a native warmth to the kitchen, delivering the soulful charm Spanish cuisine is known for, with just enough refinement to make it a serious bucket-list destination.
